Swami has always been a champion for LiveCode and together with other other monks in Kaua’i Hindu Monastery built what is probably the largest LiveCode-backed website available on the net. He’s been a constant fixture here on the list for many years and many here been at some time or another worked with him on various projects. I’m sad to say that Brahmanathaswami passed away this week on Hawaii. His life has been full of joy among his beloved monks in a paradise Island full of love and sunshine. I’ve worked with him there on and off for the best part of maybe 18 years (we’re not exactly sure when I started), he’s been a great friend and together we built many wondrous things with LiveCode. I’ll forever cherish those years, and I hope you all remember him fondly today as well.

It just needs maintainers. Personally I think this move by LiveCode is healthy. We now have two choices a free open source edition maintained by the community, and a closed source version maintained by LiveCode LTD. If you want to use the commercial wizz-bang extras LiveCode LTD adds - then you can upgrade. In the meantime the language should go it’s own way. The language I believe has always wanted to be a free and open literate language, that enables anyone to code in an English like syntax. That vision was the foundation of the Kickstarter Campaign and was called Open Language. I believe the community should maintain that vision. I for one am going to dive in :) I see this in two parts. The first is preserving and maintaining the current code base. The LiveCode engine is rich and powerful. Using the current community edition you can create pretty well anything you want. Preserving this and strengthening the existing sharing of code, and documentation gets us a long way. Second I feel we should aspire to something meaningful and motivating for the future of the language. This would be a long term vision, with a lot of learning on the road there. This is how I see it for myself personally, and of course I would love it if I had some company on the way :) Open Language is something I know that is close to LiveCode Ltd’s heart, but it is hampered by the need to preserve the legacy of maintaining complex and user-friendly IDE. That with the perceived commercial need to provide all the present abilities of the standalone builder mean that it is not a realistic proposition. However we can simplify by focussing only on the pure language as used by the server - this is a manageable task. Freeing Open Language from this legacy is a good thing. When it is truly free it can join on equal footing the other great languages out there, and still hopefully remain compatible with LiveCode Ltd’s commercial offering. For me my journey is about mastering the tools that enable the creation of modern languages, and these tools have come a long way. I’m heading on a family holiday now - but over the next two weeks - in discussion and with the advice of whoever is interested - Ill get a web site up for the project. 📆 Schedule a call with me On 2 Sep 2021, 02:29 +0100, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode , wrote: It’s, “So long, and thanks for all the fish!” And unless you can do a double 360 back flip while passing through a smallish ring suspended above the pool, I remain unimpressed.

Hi Klaus, I bet the problem is in the remainder of the script, for instance changing layers or deleting graphics (although the latter probably not).

Re: Saving stacks before closing
In LiveCode, usually you're asked to save a stack, even if you didn't change it. The reason is that the property that indicates that the stack has been changed, is set to true when a field gets focus. A field gets focus whenever a stacks comes to front. When a stack is closed, it needs to come to the front :-) On Mac this issue is worse than on Windows. In standalones, you need to take care of this yourself. I'm sure you can do a better job than LiveCode, particularly if you can limit your app to specific changes.

To script this, I will handle the closeStackRequest message, and find a way to keep track of whether the stack in question has been changed since it was last saved. What I am trying to figure out is under what circumstances LiveCode takes care of this without my scripting it. In the LiveCode IDE, trying to close an unsaved stack seems automatically to ask me whether I want to save changes (but I have not found a handler in the backscripts that implements this). This is true of stacks I have created with the IDE “new stack” tool and then try to close. Is it also true of stacks I have created by script? And what happens in a standalone? Does this feature still work there? In short, do I need to script an option to save changed stacks before closing, or can I rely on LiveCode to take care of this? Many thanks.

Re: Where is André ? André says "goodbye"
It looks like url("file:...") still makes some conversion. I think we
should still use binfile to avoid conversion and before we do so, we
need to make sure we get the encoding right.

Second edition of Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner
Hi everyone,, I hope you have a great Chrsitmas and a great year behind you. This ear I've been busier than ever. One of my projects was the second edition of my book Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner. https://www3.economy-x-talk.com/file.php?node=programming-livecode-for-the-real-beginner The book has been updated to include the changes in recent versions of LiveCode. Important changes concern the properties inspector and the standalone application settings window. Large parts of the chapter about properties have been rewritten and several pictures have been updated. Almost no sample scripts needed to be updated, apart from a number of Unicode-related scripts. I've decided, however, to discuss both the unicodeEncode/unicodeDecode as well as the textEncode/textDecode functions. It seems to me that the old functions are still useful, even if only for the sake of backward compatibility. (Not so long ago, I had a project where direct conversion using uniEncode and uniDecode seemed the easiest route). Currently, we're in the process of updating the website. I have replaced the old (red) cover picture with a picture of the new, fresh, yellow cover. A few details still need to be adjusted. Soon, we will raise the price of the book. The price change is due to DHL's decision to increase the tarrif for books. The current price is 32 euro but we are forced to raise the price, prrobably by 4 euro to 36 euro. As long as the price on the website hasn't been changed, you can still purchase the book at the old price. IF you have any questions, please write to supp...@economy-x-talk.com. Don't use an e-mail address that is affiliated with Apple (for instance mac.com, apple.com, icloud.com; we won't be able to confirm your address and send you a book). The book is available as a paperback and not in an electronic format and we ship all over the world (with China as a possible exception; contact support if you're in China). -- Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk https://ecxtalk.nl https://www.nt2.nu Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner http://www3.economy-x-talk.com/file.php?node=programming-livecode-for-the-real-beginner ___ 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

Hi,
i need to update regularly about 2000 rows/records of a MySQL table with
Livecode Server.
What is better?
Executing the 2000 update commands in one take using revexecuteSQL
or should i execute one update command after each other within a repeat loop?
What do you think?

Re: 64 bit desktop apps
I use a G4 Quicksilver as a server. I have taken it apart and put it back together several times, something I can't do with a Mac Mini or MacBook. I use Revolution 4.x for special server tasks. It would be convenient if I could use the latest version of LiveCode to build not only for Windows, Linux and Intel Macs but also for PowerMac. Obviously it would be cool if I could use all features of LiveCode 9 on the PowerMac, but I'd be happy already with just the possibility to build standalones for OSX 10.4.

Re: Rooting around in the Forum: destructors
Short answer: LiveCode doesn't have destructors because the xTalk family of languages doesn't require them. xTalk languages make the life of the developer easier by taking such tasks our of their hands. 1a) Yes, under the hood, because LiveCode is written using variants of C, which are object oriented. So, LiveCode is creating and deleting (destructing) objects continuously, but the LiveCode developer/user doesn't need to be bothered with that. 1b) You could make sure to write clean scripts that always delete controls (and even cards and stacks) and variables that are no longer needed. LiveCode does a good job cleaning up after finishing a handler, so it isn't really necessary to do this yourself, but if you are creating controls that you need only one time, it is probably a good idea to delete them afterwards. When you delete a control, an object under the hood is no longer required and will be "destroyed" at some point. 2) It is in the object-oriented language that is used to create LiveCode. There is also a delete command in the LiveCode scripting language. The delete command isn't a destructor, but it does provide a form a cleaning up. 3) Most of the cleaning up is done automatically. Local variables that are used by one handler only, are deleted automatically. Moreover, the LiveCode scripting language isn't an object-oriented language, even though some people may try to make you believe otherwise and some other people wish it were. Really, it isn't. Because the language isn't object-oriented, it doesn't need a destructor.

HOWEVER: as there is no thing in Livecode having "destrucor" written all over it in big letters for slow characters like myself could some one tell me: 1. Does Livecode have something(s) that does the job of a destructor? 2. If so, where is it and so on? 3. If not, why not?

Re: forcing a number to be interpreted as a field name
You shouldn't use numbers and constants as names for fields. One and 1
are identical and field "one" as well as field "1" may be interpreted as
the first field rather than the field with name "one" or "1".
Instead always start control names with a letter or a symbol that isn't
a number. For example, you could start all names with n and write a loop
like
repeat with x = 1 to 10
set the numberformat to "00"
put fld ("n" & x*1) into myValue
-- do something with myValue here
end repeat

I have, due to the government's wisdom, checkboxes I have to use to display
numeric values. I've created my own to make them the right size, and to
function as parts of groups.
But looping through, with the fields in these things named for the possible
values (usually text), I have to refer to them.
So I have value of (0,1,2) for one of these
I need to loop through these values to set the field with the corresponding
name.
Having a value of zero in vl, how do can I refer to the field named "0" in
group tgGrp?
When this isn't a calculated value, I do it by name (zero, one, etc.), but
that isn't an option sometimes.

Re: Open Inv Stack on iPhone
Assuming that you don't need to display the stack, you could use start using stack “/folder/folder/stackName.rev" and reference any objects and scripts in the stack.

If you open a stack file on an iPhone invisibly, the app crashes. For example: open inv stack “/folder/folder/stackName.rev" This works fine on windows, mac, and an iPad. But, on a iPhone (real device or simulator) it crashes. Any thoughts? Or perhaps a workaround? The file and the path are good. I know this because if I open the stack without “inv”, it opens just fine. LC 8.1.3 iOS 10.3.1 FYI, the goal is to get the stack file open and in memory so I can call it later.

Re: sims' spotty dog
It looks to me like at least one of the original e-mails came from a server in Vietnam while Sims server seems to be located in Texas and his home is on an island. I'd say there is little Sims can do about it. If his e-mail address were to be disabled, the spammers would simply spoof someone else's address. A solution might be to apply Spamcop filters, but many people, including those with OnRev accounts, are on shared servers and will often get blocked by Spamcop and still be unable to stop the spam.

Re: How many words from start of text to my selection
HYi Kaveh, LiveCode sets the focus to the clicked object after running the scripts. If I would select text the normal way, the selection would be deselected again, because the focus would go away from the field to the button containing the script. Using the send in time command, I make sure that this command is executed after LiveCode completes its routines, also after LiveCode sets the focus. If you use a different way to execute the script rather then from a button or other object that is activated by a click, you won't need this last line. Moreover, sometimes I have this problem and sometimes not. I haven't figured out why. At least, when it occurs, there is a way to solve it.

Re: AW: AW: Installer software
Interesting discussion here. It is possible to make an 8GB app bundle, since the files inside the bundle are still individual files. It isn't a good idea to include 8GB of videos in a stack. I wouldn't include all 8GB of files in one installer, since the installer is basically one big stack (which runs completely indepenently of any other files). I would put the files in a separate folder on the dmg and write a script that copies the files from the folder to the preferred destination. Such a script could be started from Installer Maker.

Re: Non-Public API Usage
Hi Pink, If you are using the names _getcontext, _makecontext and _setcontext for your handlers in your scripts, just change the names and make sure they are nowhere mentioned in your app. If you didn't use these handler names, report it as a bug to the QCC.

Dear developer, We have discovered one or more issues with your recent delivery for "PlanningBoard 2". To process your delivery, the following issues must be corrected: Non-public API usage: The app references non-public symbols in MadPink Planning Board: _getcontext, _makecontext, _setcontext If method names in your source code match the private Apple APIs listed above, altering your method names will help prevent this app from being flagged in future submissions. In addition, note that one or more of the above APIs may be located in a static library that was included with your app. If so, they must be removed. If you think this message was sent in error and that you have only used Apple-published APIs in accordance with the guidelines, send the app's nine-digit Apple ID, along with detailed information about why you believe the above APIs were incorrectly flagged, to apprev...@apple.com. For further information, visit the Technical Support Information page. Though you are not required to fix the following issues, we wanted to make you aware of them: Missing Push Notification Entitlement - Your app includes an API for Apple's Push Notification service, but the aps-environment entitlement is missing from the app's signature. To resolve this, make sure your App ID is enabled for push notification in the Provisioning Portal. Then, sign your app with a distribution provisioning profile that includes the aps-environment entitlement. This will create the correct signature, and you can resubmit your app. See "Provisioning and Development" in the Local and Push Notification Programming Guide for more information. If your app does not use the Apple Push Notification service, no action is required. You may remove the API from future submissions to stop this warning. If you use a third-party framework, you may need to contact the developer for information on removing the API. Once the required corrections have been made, you can then redeliver the corrected binary.

Re: My own productivity app
Hi Terry, It used to be possible to get the front-most app with AppleScript.

Jacqueline wrote that LC provides no feedback when it isn't the frontmost app. But is there a way to use MacOS's Notification Center from within LiveCode to tell me things like that? Mike's solution using a timed loop seems to do the trick to add the MacBreakZ functionality. So the app and site blocking functionality is the only thing that is hard to implement. But for that, I could use (hey)Focus; this app is the least intrusive of the three I mentioned. So I could make my own Pomodoro-timer with a ToDo-list and the MacBreakZ-functionality, and let (hey)Focus do the site/app blocking. Heck, key logging, site blocking, disabling of other apps… It sounds like I'm brewing up something evil. (But I'm not.) Thanks for the help. With kind regards, Terry Vogelaar The only way I know of to monitor keystrokes/mouse events is with a loop. Check to see if keysdown() is empty, and "if the mouse is down.” Certain things won't trigger the mouse is down such as grabbing a title bar and dragging it around (on windows) but most other clicks will work fine. For a simple test, I made a stack with a field and a button. the following code is in the button. local sRunning on mouseUp if sRunning is empty then put false into sRunning put not sRunning into sRunning loopit end mouseUp command loopit if sRunning then if the keysdown is not empty then put keysdown() into field 1 else put empty into field 1 end if if the mouse is down then set the backgroundcolor of field 1 to red else set the backgroundcolor of field 1 to empty end if send loopit to me in 100 millisec end if end loopit Placing the window where its visible but not focused and work with another program. Every click the field turns red, every keypress and the keys that are down show up in the field. With a delay of 100 seconds its possible to miss an event, but if a person were actually working actively most keypresses and clicks will be caught. It should be possible to use either applescript or vbscript to note what window is focused, though im not sure how to tell if one is working in a facebook tab or not. The problem I see here is that LC has no knowledge of what other apps are in use, and provides no feedback when it isn't the frontmost app. There may be shell calls you could use to get some of the information, but I kind of doubt there's a way to monitor keystrokes and that sort of thing. ___ 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 ___ 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

Hi coders, In one month, it will be Christmas again. During this time, we are often told that shipments are urgent. If you want to have your copy of the book before the holidays, don't wait but order it now. Any orders placed until Monday 28th November will be sent on Wednesday 30st November. This should give the shipping companies sufficient time to deliver the book to your door. We're currently at the fourth print run of my book Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner. When the third print run was sold out, we decided to print a large stock of books, so we have plenty of copies available for immediate delivery. The fourth print of Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner has been updated to include a number of new XML commands, which were introduced after the first release of the book. I have also added a few remarks about LiveCode 7 to the chapter on Unicode. Quite a few new features have been added to LiveCode 7 and 8, but it looks like the examples in the book are still fully compatible with LiveCode 8. Keep in mind, though, that the book is for beginners and focuses on the basics of the LiveCode language.

Re: Shell Command and cURL
It doesn't make sense to create a list of 14-something files and try
to paste it somewhere. Instead, write a shell script that gets the file
list and download all files in the list.
Your script might look like this:
#!/bin/bash
$ curl -s ftp://user:pass@IP/path/to/folder/ | \
grep -e '^-' | awk '{ print $9 }' | \
while read f; do \
curl -O ftp://user:pass@IP/path/to/folder/$f; \
done
Save the script in a text file and do a chmod 755 on it to make an
executable file. Now let LiveCode launch the executable file. I think
the files will be downloaded to the defaultFolder or perhaps to the
location of the executable file .
If this is too much trouble, you might also save your current shell
command to a file and have LiveCode launch it.

download a list of files from an FTP site. I have been using cURL to download
many files at a time from a given directory by pasting the code into Terminal
in OS X. The problem is that Terminal cannot handle a command that is too long.
This limits me to pasting no more than about 500 file paths at a time, but I
need to download about 145,000 files. That’s a fair bit of manual pasting. So
if someone could give me an example of using the Shell command with cURL, I’d
be much obliged.

Re: OT non LC: cross tab/window browser communication
This is strange and very insecure. You should let the tab load and redirect to the PayPal page after the tab has finished doing everything it should do. I had a similar problem though. I needed a page to give PayPal time to process a transaction. I did this with a fake progress bar, which waited 1 minute and then reloaded the page.

Currently, I have simply set up a timer with an overlay and visual feedback letting the user know that "stuff is being done," but since the response time from paypal can vary greatly, I'm hoping there is a way to know when the tab has completed loading, with a backup "max time" so that if the paypal load barfs, page functionality is still returned.

LiveCode meeting
Beste dames en heren, Op zondag 16 oktober organiseren we een LiveCode meeting ergens in Nederland (Tilburg of Utrecht). Het is een beetje kortdag, maar deze datum maakt het voor een buitenlandse deelnemer mogelijk om aanwezig te zijn. Ik hoop dat jullie op deze dag aanwezig kunnen zijn. Het wordt een informele bijeenkomst van enkele uren. Tot de mogelijke onderwerpen behoren: LiveCode 8, widgets, Valentina, SuperCard 4.8, Arduino, de nieuwe HyperDuino, en HyperStudio. Daarnaast nodigen we je graag uit om iets over je eigen project(en) te vertellen of vragen te stellen aan collega-LiveCoders. Voorts verloten we een licentie van HyperStudio en een exemplaar van het boek Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner. Er bestaat ook nog een plan om de volgende meeting in februari of maart in Antwerpen te houden. Hierover zal tijdens de eerstvolgende meeting overleg plaatsvinden. Wil je meebeslissen, zorg dan dat je erbij bent. Ik zal binnen enkele dagen nog een e-mailtje sturen aan eenieder die op mijn lijstje staat. Ik hoop later in de week met meer nieuws te komen. Dear ladies and gentlemen, Sunday 16th October I will organise a meeting somewhere in the Netherlands (Tilburg or Utrecht. I know it is on short notice, but by oganising it on this date, we make it possible for a foreign participant to be present at the meeting. I hope you will be able to attent the meeting on this day. The meeting will be informal and take several hours. Possible subjects are: LiveCode 8, widgets, SuperCard 4.8, Arduino, de new HyperDuino, and HyperStudio. You are also invited to tell something about your own project(s) or to ask your fellow-LiveCoders a number of questions. Additionally we raffle off a licence of HyperStudio and a copy of the book Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner. Moreover there is a plan to organise a meeting in february or march in Antwerp (Belgium). We will talk about this at the first next meeting. Make sure you're there, if you would like to be involved in any decisions. I'll send an e-mail to everyone on my list within a few days. Hopefully I'll be able to provide more news later this week. -- Kind regards, Mark Schonewille http://economy-x-talk.com https://www.facebook.com/marksch Buy the most extensive book on the LiveCode language: http://livecodebeginner.economy-x-talk.com ___ 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

My desktop app has printing and selecting "Print..." from the File menu of my app was doing the "right" think, but Comand/Control-P was not. Sadly, it took me a whole hour to realize that the Command-P was being passed to the IDE and invoking the IDE's File > Print Card... menu item, which looked enough like a very old version of our printing code in this case to make me think that tons of recent changes had someone "been undone". So, problem solved in once sense in that when the Standalone gets built, Command/Control-P will end up invoking my printer code, but the IDEs. But, here is the puzzler, is there a way to tell the IDE to NOT handle menu keyboard equivalents and send those keyboard commands to the Applications menu so that all the functions of the App's menu can really be tested in the IDE?

Sorry, i have to disagree. If your company is liable to tax on sales/purchases then you have to do VAT declarations, even if you just sell a digital product for 1 Euro. You can decide if you do the declarations with each EU country separately or if you do the declaration using MOSS. There is no lower sales limit which would allow to ignore this EU rule. Before i wrote the above lines i phoned the German Federal Central Tax Office and spoke to someone who is responsible for the MOSS. He assured me that there is no such limit. But he was aware that there is a widespread opinion out there that there is such a limit, but there isn´t. If you have other official informations especially about the sales limit, then I am more than happy to see them.

Re: Slight annoyance from MacKiev
I have been using HyperStudio for some time now. The current version is something between PowerPoint and HyperCard, althought that would be a modern version of HyperCard. HS Author provides a subset of the features of HyperStudio. HyperStudion used to do the HTML5 export by itself, but people would often create a HS stack with many features only to discover that the HTML5 version wouldn't contain all these features. Therefore, a separate product was created, which lets you use only those features that can be exported to HTML5. I don't use Author very often, but have made some nice pages that let me move pictures around (I wanted to write "objects" but that would be wrong). Sometimes I use HyperStudio to play with HyperDuino. I was able to collect some environmental data (light and temperature) using Arduino and HyperStudio, without any scripting. To answer your questions: you can put the HTML5 files created by Author into Dropbox and load them on your iOS or Android device. Dropbox can download the files and let you use the "app" whenever you want it, off-line. Yes, you can also do this with LiveCode's HTML5 exports, although I haven't tried that yet and I wouldn't be surprised if there were some catch that makes this slightly more complicated that expected. I really would have to try this.

Re: Control? Object?
Hi Richmond, The LiveCode documentation consistently talks about objects, where this should be controls. The scripting language, however, mixes up the two concepts completely. An object is a collection of properties and instructions defined by a programming syntax (where one shouldn't limit "programming syntax" to the traditional text listings but also include "syntax" created by visual programming environments). A control is an often visual component of an interface, which allows the user to interact with the program, such as a button, a field and a slider. Objects can create controls, but objects may also perform other tasks, such as saving data to disk, creating arrays, moving a control, and many other tasks. In my book, I consistently distinguish objects and controls. This means that I almost always talk about controls and very rarely about objects, because it isn't really necessary to use objects in the LiveCode scripting language and AFAIK there is no "create object" command in the LiveCode language (but if you really want to, you can simulate objects). It is interesting that LiveCode (I'm working with 6.7.6 today) doesn't have an "object" keyword but does have a "control" keyword, while many functions, commands and messages contain either the string "control" or the string "object". It is clear that LiveCode hasn't matured well enough to deal with this issue. I would recommend using above definitions consistently. One day, real objects will be introduced into the LiveCode scripting language and we will need to distinguish them from controls.

Re: Cubist's first bug report
Hi Quentin, I see the same results, when I try your code. However, if I first store the random value and add 1 to an item in the string in the next line in the script, it works correctly. Apparently, the random function and the add command are incompatible. on mouseUp put "0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0" into myVar repeat 100 put random(16) into myRandom add 1 to item myRandom of myVar put myVar & cr after myTempList end repeat put sum(myVar) & cr & myTempList end mouseUp Kind regards, Mark Schonewille http://economy-x-talk.com https://www.facebook.com/marksch Buy the most extensive book on the LiveCode language: http://livecodebeginner.economy-x-talk.com Op 05-Jun-16 om 16:12 schreef Quentin Long: Code which exhibits the bug: on mouseUp put "0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0" into Fred repeat 100 times add 1 to any item of Fred put Fred into line (1 + the number of lines in fld "testbed") of fld "testbed" end repeat put sum (Fred) into line (1 + the number of lines in fld "testbed") of fld "testbed" end mouseUp This handler *should* end up generating a 16-item string of integers which sum to exactly 100.

Re: Infinite LiveCode - Message from CEO
I agree with you. The community helped the company. In return for that, all new features should be open-source. I'm very disappointed by the "business-only" features.

Re: Converting a stack to a text file..
I have created DIFfersifier a long time ago. A few years ago, I added a way to export stacks to XML. It isn't difficult to do that, since you just list all the properties as XML. If I remember correctly, a few properties can be read but not set, or perhaps there was another problem. I never got to writing a tool to recreate stacks from the same XML files, but although it would be a lot of work, it is certianly doable.
