Re: Script Editor fixable? (was: Configuring a Sublime Text project to notify LiveCode IDE about updates to script only stacks)

Hi, as someone who came to Livecode attracted by the hook that it could be used by Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) I try and follow these threads but please take care with the use of abbreviations / acronyms. Some I’ve worked out others I’ve no idea : OSS open source S?, SOS ??? or generally

Re: FTP file upload with non-ascii characters in filename

Hi First I am not sure why your code replaces spaces with underscores in tFile. Next I have an application that displays lists of filenames in a folder. The user clicks on a filename and it is displayed in a browser object on the card. In order to get this to work I had to convert the

Storing Images for use by Custom Controls

Is there an elegant method of storing images for use by a custom control? I have tried adding the images to the custom control group but the buttons in copies of the first group refer back to the first group so there is no advantage when compared to storing the images on a card or in a folder.

Re: LC 9.02 Problems when displaying local PDF in stack

Hi Tore, I have spent a couple of hours hunting down Adobe Reader related files scattered about in my computers Library folder and others but to no avail. I suspect that the root cause is the newish Adobe Acrobat Reader DC which I briefly tried while attempting to solve an unrelated problem

Re: LC 9.02 Problems when displaying local PDF in stack

Excellent advice Tore - many thanks. I reinstalled Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and confirmed that my app PDFreader was now displaying PDFs when run in LC 9.02 and that a second selection of a PDF caused the Adobe related menus and button bar to be displayed i.e. back to my starting point. Next I

Re: Refactoring is your friend / moving from 6.x to 9.x

This thread seems to have diverted away from Malte’s original post. For Malte and others I have found that the revBrowser control is slower to render PDFs and may insert unwanted menus and button thanks to Adobe in version 9.02. See

Re: Refactoring is your friend / moving from 6.x to 9.x

Richard, Your are correct but Malte did ask ask about general refactoring (i think) so I just mentioned my latest problem / finding. As to the PDF “feature” itsself I think its now up to Edinburgh to decide what to do; I doubt that they intended to have Adobe menus and button bars popping up

Format text data records for processing in Livecode

Hi, I have written an Applescript that reads the headers and contents of selected emails in Apple Mail. I am trying to decide to simplest method of importing this data into Livecode to allow it to be sorted and formatted etc. Each email is a record with a number of fields the largest field

Re: Format text data records for processing in Livecode

Some interesting ideas although I’m not sure why a changing separator is useful. I generally attempt to stick with TSV but it won’t work in this case unless I parse the data to remove the tabs from the text, however I may well try this. At the moment I’m trying to use a simple tagging

Re: A question about openCard

"Is there some simple way that an openCard handler can branch based on what card it is coming from?" My solution would be to give each card a customprop named say “uCalledBy". Then when the app changes cards I set this prop e.g. Set the uCalledBy of Card 42 to “HitchHikers” Go to Card 42

Anyone any experience with Livecode under Ventura?

Well I've had issues with Ventura and how Livecode requests permission for access to Contacts and Calendar data. Unfortunately I don't have Ventura so all this is second hand but hints that there are issues with how the Privacy Pane works. For example a stack running in the IDE and using a

Re: Anyone any experience with Livecode under Ventura?

Hi Matthias, Thank you for your offer. I've conducted some more testing and it seems that the issue I am seeing may not be isolated to just Ventura. Unfortunately not having a copy makes it difficult to report on what is occuring, so I will just describe what I see in Livecode 9.6.8 running
