Re: Substacks

2022-05-29 Thread Jim At Consensus via use-livecode 
At the risk of repeating someone else’s suggestion. I address this by have an 
on closeStsck handler in the main stack. I’m in my phone so don’t have access 
to code but it’s along the lines of:

On closeStack
If the short name of me is “” then closeStack
End closeStack

Works rely  as bay for me though variations could include “if name is not “xxx” 
then exit closeStsck

Will see which is correct when I get to my machine.

Good Luck. 

Jim

NOTE: This has worked reliably for years. I doubt something has changed but 
perhaps?

NOTE 2: To avoid the “mental pain” of not having something like this working, 
I’d recommend creating a new stack and sub stack combination just to trouble 
shoot the problem. I’d say 9 times out of 10, I can get the simple test to work 
which points me to some other issue I never would have discovered that ended up 
being the issue (like not remembering that before my closeStack was issued, i 
navigated back to the main stack by a go card “” of the main stack as part 
of my trying to figure out what was happening but the timing was such I never 
saw the transition.)

Re: IDE behaviour MacOS

Strange behavior. 

When you say disappear, are they missing from Project Browser? 
This shouldn’t be happening  but… I have “lost” things when a graphic “changed” 
levels and ended up in front of other elements. Also wondering if something is 
getting messed up with top level. Are you setting it anywhere

Re: Invalid mac/ios standalone engine file

Andreas/Panos,
So glad you asked/answered.
I’ve been putting off the Monterey update as I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to 
successfully build and deploy. 
Sounds safe to do as at least 1 person has had success.

Happy New Year.

Re: Error when creating Android APK

2021-11-17 Thread Jim At Consensus via use-livecode 
Strange. 

Clarification. My error is occurring during stand-alone build. I include a 
folder in the “Copy Files” section. In the folder are files “to be filled” 
recording user choices, etc. The build process fails on the first “empty” file.

Will be chasing workarounds today so will see. Many alternative approaches. 
First priority is getting successful build to test other stuff.

I just started getting a similar error when building a stand-alone for iOS. All 
of a sudden, the stand-alone builder is failing to find files when building and 
fails. Haven’t started troubleshooting in detail BUT it only happens when the 
file is empty (e.g. a text file with no data). Might be related?

Re: [OT] M1 Mac Mini USB problems

2021-10-27 Thread Jim At Consensus via use-livecode 
Can’t really help but would be surprised if Mini issue?

I’ve had issues with swapping things on my USB hub. I have a 10 port powered 
Aukey hub; 3 of the ports are power only for charging things without mounting. 
On the others, when I plug in a new accessory everything dismounts for a bit 
and then comes back. I haven’t figured out why and just avoid inserting things 
while other activities are going on. I leave a lightning cable or two plugged 
in even if not using them as the problem seems to only occur when I insert 
something into the USB ports on the hub and not when I mount something to a 
previously connected cable (though I could just be missing the issue).

Re: background images

2021-01-19 Thread Jim At Consensus via use-livecode 
I usually use the preOpenCard approach with background images but have 
occasionally wanted to have a set of images on individual cards that do not 
change dynamically over time. In that case I’ve used an image that was NOT part 
of the background group. To create a new card (with a new image), I use “clone 
card” rather than new card. The image is created on the new card but is an 
individual image. I assign it a new file name and it doesn’t affect anything 
else. 

The best approach really depends on you use case.
Not sure which is more efficient. Storing images separately and loading on 
preOpenCard or having them preloaded on individual cards would guess the 
former if the stack starts with only a few images.

Re: Slightly OT: downloading Xcode

Lest anyone think this is a rural issue. 

I live in a major metropolitan city in the US. (Seattle, Wa) And am still on 
DSL and can’t get cable or fiber to my house without paying to have poles 
placed and or conduit run underground... very expensive. Our DSL is over copper 
lines from 1936 whose insulation (lead) has been riddled with holes. 

When it rains, we have no internet and usually no phone. To get Apple updates, 
I either lose a day or go someplace with a reliable hispeed connecton.
