livecode 8 system tray / osx menu bar support
Hi, See subject - can I put a Livecode app in the menu bar or system tray. From 4.5 onwards there was this hidden feature. I haven't tried, but I'd expected it to be in the docs if it were. SEE http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/4_5_0/LiveCodeNotes-4_5_0.pdf and search for system tray. If anyone knows how to do this or has an insight or example to offer, that would be highly appreciated.

iCloud external :-)
Folks, I have spent a lot of time on it over the last two months, but I finally have an iOS iCloud external working. One of the things I've learned is that iCloud works (by itself), but it is very easy to make a mistake - hence the apps that behave so badly with iCloud. Anyway, the external can: - give back your app name, team prefix, bundle identifier - put files in your app's container - manipulate and query the apps container (evict files, force download, modification dates, list files...) - put files in a shared container across apps - so you have shared data across iOS apps [ yes ... that's right!!!] - manipulate and query the shared container - put files in a container or shared container up for download for two weeks [ yes, you read this correctly as well] I can do two things: 1) continue with my main project as I will eventually 2) spend even more time and put the external up for sale for $49 As this really has been a LOT of work I don't want to put something up for sale if nobody is interested, so consider this a poll. Personally, I find the shared storage across apps and public data publishing is pretty awesome. Let me know if you're interested - otherwise I'll simply enjoy my weekend ;-) --Maarten ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: iCloud external :-)
Hi Willem, Files from iCLoud are downloaded automagically. You just list the contents of the ubiquitous container, look at the dates or names and open whatever you want. That's the beauty of it: you just put the data there, and it automatically updates all devices. Of course, beware of versioning conflicts. But this is where Livecode (with its excellent text processing) excels. --Maarten On Fri, Aug 3, 2012 at 3:31 PM, William de Smet williamdes...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Maarten, This seem pretty straight forward.

Re: revCopyFile
I scripted this using the read as binary etc. using 16KB buffers some time ago in pure LC. Much faster, and cross-platform. Idon'thave the code here at hand, but it is really straightforward: Open the source file for read binary Open the destination file for write binary Read 16KB or whatever is left if it's less from the source into a buffer Append the buffer to the destination Loop until done Close the files Faster then revCopyFile (in fact, why doesn't itdo it this way) and no hassle with shells or external processes where you need to check if they actually did what you asked.

For thirty files that were each about 70kb, using a shell command was about 3x faster than using revCopyFile. That's without taking advantage of the ability to move and rename in one step with a shell command. If that's what you're doing, the advantage would be even greater.

As far as using AppleScript, I'm using revCopyFile because the dictionary claims there are certain advantages to using it over put URL or any other method, amongst which is that it does not require reading the file into memory, and since some of these files could be pretty large, that's significant. On a Mac, it also displays a progress bar which I don;t think would be possible if I used put URL.

Base64 weirdness
Sorry for the cross-post from the forum, but this (silly) thing is becoming a blocker. A (to me) subtle question, which has to do with the base64 encoding. A base 64 encoded binary needs to be a multiple of 4. It' what all other implementation seem to do as well (tested Scala (JVM) and REBOL (C underneath)). But if I test with a standalone file like this: put /Users/maartenkoopmans/Desktop/pw.jpg into tFilename put base64encode(url(binfile: tFilename)) into tImage answer file read and converted answer the length of tImage I consistently get 7758 as length in Livecode, and 7652 in other implementaions (REBOL, Scala). The LC form has two bytes to much to be multiple of 4, and way more than the others, which are multiples of fours. So how do you get your data back then to display the image in a different environment (say, as webserver)? Any thoughts appreciated... --Maarten ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

I think LC follows the RFC better, but not necessarily better interoprable.

A (to me) subtle question, which has to do with the base64 encoding. A base 64 encoded binary needs to be a multiple of 4. It' what all other implementation seem to do as well (tested Scala (JVM) and REBOL (C underneath)). But if I test with a standalone file like this: put /Users/maartenkoopmans/Desktop/pw.jpg into tFilename put base64encode(url(binfile: tFilename)) into tImage answer file read and converted answer the length of tImage I consistently get 7758 as length in Livecode, and 7652 in other implementaions (REBOL, Scala). The LC form has two bytes to much to be multiple of 4, and way more than the others, which are multiples of fours. So how do you get your data back then to display the image in a different environment (say, as webserver)? Any thoughts appreciated... What others wrote about line endings is likely the explanation. But since base64 implementation should ignore line endings, how is this a blocker for you?

Re: Making Sense of Licenses
...precisely why I renewed, because upgrade fees per component are not too much compared with a new license. But, I have the dev program too, so far worth the money, especially if you're doing mobile. LC has a much more agressive release cycle these dats, with smaller improvement coming faster in dot or dot-dot releases. Personally, I kept my licenses up to date because it was not too expensive, especially with the recently more agile release cycle. And FWIW: RunRev does pay attention to the needs (e.g. enhancements) of those opting in for the dev program. All in all, the last 6 months have been a pleasant experience - I think you can see commitment from Heather's reactions as well. --Maarten On Thursday, October 20, 2011, Pete p...@mollysrevenge.com wrote: Thanks Mark.

In my case, I'd pay for 5.0 after having waited a long time and in the long term I'm not paying more than otherwise but I won't get anything for free either, because the previous big update was the 4.6 cycle, which I didn't buy, and I'd just have to pay a little more for 5.0 (I hope you can follow what I'm saying). However, I'm not going to buy the full package. I'm only going to pay for the components I really need and next year I will only update those components that I really need.

something with it for 4.6.4

Hi again, Maarten,
Yesterday and today, I did a lot of testing with externals. I was able to
compile the sample external rresocket and included this external in a
standalone. The standalone was built from the stack included with the sample
XCode project provided by RunRev. When I tested the standalone, it ran fine
in both the simulator and on my iPhone.
Then I created a very simple hello-world external from the template, quite
similar to yours. The template can be selected after you choose New from
XCode's file menu. I followed exactly the same steps as with the sample
external. I was able to run it in the simulator but when I installed it on
my iPhone, it crashed with the same console messages you posted.
For now, my conclusion is that the sample externals run fine, but
externals created with the template won't work. I hope that anyone can
confirm this.

Android's mobileDeviceInfo
Hi, If you look in the Android release notes ( p27) you'll see a function mobileDeviceInfo. I've tested it like this: on mouseUp ask mobileDeviceInfo(DISPLAY) with OK end mouseUp with a simple Android stack and one button. Also tried other fields like HOST (the one I actually need) and ID.

OT: gmail two factor authentication
All, I just got a nice box from Google explaining that there was suspicious account activity from Mexico (I live in Amsterdam). I changed my password, enabled two-factor authentication using their iPhone app and use app-specific passwords. Also, I changed ALL passwords of all online services I use to new, unique ones. My guess: it took one malicious web page, even though I am up-to-fate with every component Anyway, if your a GMail user I strongly suggest switching to their two-factor authentication (meaning that you provide a uniquely generated number every time you login). I mean... if it can happen to a careful user like me who used to work on identity management - it literally can happen to anyone. I knew that - but I did change all my passwords and checked my credit card view (which is luckily live) after the adrenalin rush. Just thought to share the experience. We all read the horror stories, I can confirm them now first-hand (though little damage has been done so far AFAIK). 1) use unique passwords per service 2) use two factor authN on Google - it's a great add-on to the service --Maarten ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

I am doing a revdb_query in a function; my database id is a global. I am in a handler that has done a few queries, then calls said function. The sql has been reduced to a dummy select * from table. Earlier cursors are closed, and I use sqlite. I use 'answer question ...' and the one right after the query ( and all logic after that) is never reached.

SQL typically has connection timeouts built in so that someone cannot use up all the available threads and then dump them without terminating them as a means of denying service. When working with SQL I like to open/reconnect, make my queries, then disconnect right away without any user interaction. Otherwise, a user could leave an error dialog open and not respond until after the database times out. I usually have in my stack or database connection card scripts for initializing and making the connection, idling the connection (which is really a disconnect) and closing the connection. To SQL this results in either a connection being made, or else a disconnect, but to my apps after the first connection is made, I set a state wherein I know I can proceed after the first connection is made because I know the database is there and responding to queries. Hence the idle state. I wrap all my sql connection/query commands in a try/catch statement so that if an error is generated, I call my disconnect handler first, then alert the user that an error has occurred. This has eliminated virtually all the normal SQL issues I used to have. It's also good programming practice for SQL. Of course, SQLite is a local file (typically) so this is not as much of an issue, but still I believe there are default timeouts you can encounter. Also, consider seriously, Trevor DeVore's great SQLYoga utility, which takes most of the pain and suffering out of working with SQL. You can return queries as lists, arrays or records, which I think are a special kind of SQLYoga array.

Actually, the below functions work pretty fast on Win7 (will test on OS X).
Added them as a back script works nicely. Credit where credit is due,
the fileSize function I grabbed from the mailing list (weird that such a
thing is not readily available)
function fileSize pFilePath
-- split the file path into the folder and url-encoded file name
local tFolder, tEncodedFile
set the itemDelimiter to slash
put item 1 to -2 of pFilePath into tFolder
put urlEncode(item -1 of pFilePath) into tEncodedFile
set the itemDelimiter to comma
-- now change the defaultfolder and get the detailed files information
local tOldDefaultFolder, tDetailedFiles
put the defaultFolder into tOldDefaultFolder
set the defaultFolder to tFolder
put the detailed files into tDetailedFiles
set the defaultFolder to tOldDefaultFolder
-- filter down the list to just the file we're interested in
filter tDetailedFiles with (tEncodedFile ,*)
return (item 2 of tDetailedFiles + item 3 of tDetailedFiles)
end FileSize
on copyFile source,destination
--revCopyFile source,destination
put fileSize(source) into theSize
open file source for binary read
open file destination for binary write
put 16384 into buflen
repeat until theSize is 0
if theSize 16384 then put 16384 into buflen
read from file source for buflen
write it to file destination
subtract buflen from theSize
put theSize into buflen
end repeat
close file source
close file destination
end copyFile

I'll try the command shell, I hope the command window doesn't show. Blocking behavior is another fear ( why revCopyFile is unacceptable).

And if you program your progress bar to show movie trailers, sports highlights, or car crashes, the user won't mind so much if the file writing process is slower.

I'll just write a copyfile function in LC then. That should be near-C speed, assuming open/read/write are implemented close to the os.

This was because so few http servers support these commands. The Method not allowed response that Trevor shows in his other mail is typical for most servers.

Re: Editable page
I want users to be able to put a limited set of controls, like images, shapes, text, backdrop on a page. I have noticed that the size events, the choose [...] tool, drag me in mouseUp, go a long way. Things like resizing, setting the fonts etc. also look feasible. So a simple toolbar, te choose tool command and lockimg of some core objects (mainly the ones that control the toolbar)... Looks like it will get me there. I posted a similar question to the forum and got a sample stack that put me on the right track - normally I don't cross-post but the use-livecode list seemed a bit more active. --Maarten On Saturday, April 2, 2011, dunb...@aol.com wrote: LiveCode is more than powerful and flexible enough to do what you want. Simple, to boot. The problem is that you might give away too much control, so that the whole app could be trashed by your users since you either have to give access to IDE tools, or permit only choices from a menu of properties, say. Fortunately, you can lock the core objects. Do you want to give just a limited, preset number of options to the user when a new control is created, or allow all properties to be adjusted?

The LC way for code libraries?
Hi, Simple question for people here, but something you wonder when you come from a non-LC code environment. What's a good way to create and store a non-UI code library in a LC project (a.k.a. business logic)? Say I'd want to implement a WebDAV client, which is a back-and-forth kind of flow. Or anu other protocol will do as a mental model Where would you store all the support functions for the protocol? Right now I can only see this happening on the stack level, but there I'm still fairly clueless.

Coming from a Scala/Scheme/Rebol background I get the event model, but I need to learn some library tricks (as with any new language) and get a model of how to do some larger scale programming. So far, things look pretty good with LC. Once I get it compketely into my system I'll start really using the mobile version as wel. But... Step at a time.

Right now I can only see this happening on the stack level, but there I'm still fairly clueless. If you think you'll be using such a library in other projects you'll definitely have an easier time reusing it as a library. You could embed the library as a substack, but then keeping it updated every time you enhance it is a drag, so I tend to prefer to keep libraries in their own stack files, loaded at startup from a folder named Components I keep at the same level as the executable.
