Yes the CTO was in the last two weeks probably more often here than in the
last two years before that two weeks. But he's now more often searching
for excuses than for real help, because there is no real progress with LCS
(except removing 9.5 bugs), LCB and HTML5.

What I woud like to see is that Sean Cole(pi digital) can write here his
opinion without being attacked just for writing that: No content-based
attack, but using the most nasty kind of attack, using (supposed) personal
problems ("your problems last year").
While content-based attacks would have been OK for me.
If this is not possible, I'll better leave this list.

Some people are very angry about deficiencies of LC, what I can understand from their view, and *we should hear what they have to say*. Especially when they get angry about the whitewashing of bugs by some list members. What's wrong that's wrong, no matter who tries to whitewash bugs or even tries to keep quiet about (remaining) bugs. The latter is, compared to the promises of the LC main page, more harmful for the reputation of LC than telling the truth. And what's good with LC that's good. We too tell the truth with that.

LCB widget "BioRhythm" v1.0.0
The widget computes BioRhythm-Curves (sinus curves with different periods of days). The 7 names and their periods are: physical 23, emotional 28, intellectual 33, spiritual 53, awareness 48, aesthetic 43, intuition 38. Moreover you can have a weighted mean of the included of these 7 curves. Display the values (in range -100 to 100) as graph or as table. Some may find this widget to be "esoteric". A main reason I made it was to show a smooth display of curves (that is not possible in LC Script) and to exercise the display of a table.

Re: Translate metadata to field content
This is possibly your problem if I understand correctly what you are doing (Browser source -> LC htmltext -> LC styledText). You try to work, using one LC method (styledText), around problems that another LC method (htmltext) has generated. One way to solve this could be to avoid LC's htmltext at all. Instead apply JavaScript with its powerful regular expression methods or, even better, the regex external "sunnYrex" of Thierry Douez to your input-source from the browser. That is: Browser source -> REGEX -> LC-styledText ___ 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: Translate metadata to field content
As others try to optimize ("ping") I'll try an improvement too ("pong")
with using another method that requires to change your link targets ONCE:
Instead of unique targets write in your field
""(1)&"target10"(1)&"""
Handler replaceTargets below does it (slowly) but you probably don't
need it on mobile.
So assuming (unusual)
-- [1] you use the following for a link target
-- target10
-- [2] you use the following for a local page link
-- Target10
-- [3] you don't use elsewhere. Else add
-- an additional marker to it to differentiate.
Then script your field with the following simple handler:
on linkClicked pUrl
put the milliseconds into m1
lock messages; lock screen
if pUrl begins with "#" then
put numToChar(1)& (char 2 to -1 of pUrl) (1) into tTarget
put 1+offset(tTarget,me)+length(tTarget) into tOff
select char tOff to tOff+3 of me -- see it in locked field
-- select char tOff of me -- variant
scrollSelectionIntoView -- optional
end if
put the millisecs -m1 into fld "timing1"
end linkClicked
helpers (optionally needed)
-- Note. LC adds also an additional "", we don't mind.
on replaceTargets -- should be optimized if used often
put the millisecs into m1
lock messages; lock screen
put the htmltext of fld 1 into tHTML
set linedel to ""
put line 1 of tHtml into tI2
put numToChar(1) into b1
repeat for each line L in (line 2 to -1 of tHtml)
put "" 1 to offset(quote,L)-1 of L into item 1 of L
put offset("",L) into o1
put b1&"" into char o1 to o1+3 of L
put L after tI2
end repeat
set htmlText of fld 1 to tI2 -- LC translates numToChar(1) to ""
put the millisecs-m1 into fld "timing2"
end mouseUp
on scrollSelectionIntoView
put the selectedLoc into tSL
put the vscroll of me into tV
put item 2 of tSL - the top of me into tDiff
if tDiff > 0.75*the height of me then
set vscroll of me to tV + 0.4*the height of me
else if tDiff < 0.25*the height of me then
set vscroll of me to tV - 0.4*the height of me

Re: html5Player
New in html5Player (v104 alpha) https://hyperhh.de/html5/html5Player.html html5Player adds a function keyCombo to your stack (as behavior) that you may use in your local stacks. It is updated on every keydown, keyup, mousedown and mouseup in the browser window. [See the stack "FontAndKeyTester" of btn "StackURL".] keyCombo returns the downstates of 'modifiers', keyCode and key: Alt, Shift, (Ctrl or Cmd), CapsLock, KeyCode, Key. For example false,true,false,false,39,ArrowRight The shiftkey, the cmdkey etc. currently always report "up" in LC-HTML5. But you may now use in your local stack, running in html5Player (e.g.): "if item 2 of keyCombo()" instead of "if the shiftkey is down". ___ 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: html5Player
If I understand correctly: What you want will be done soon, in a limited way, with the "html5IDE" https://hyperhh.de/html5/html5IDE.html (but without debugging!). The html5Player is not for that (**). You have there a propertyInspector, scriptEditor (and Dictionary). Everything is done in the browser. Then standard saving (when implemented) will go to the downloads folder. This could be reduced to the propertyInspector in your case. Saving/uploading to the server will be server dependent. Perhaps it would be best if Mark Talluto could come in with his work at that point. Loading from the server is without problem and it is not necessary to refresh the browser (loading the IDE is slow). One could simply load again the own stack or a new/updated template. The html5IDE will load much faster in the future, currently the same engine is loaded six(!) times, that will go down to two times, could go down to one time in your case. Sadly this will be still too slow for mobile. --- (**) You can't edit stacks in the html5Player which may be used this way for (fast) development: You have locally the LC-IDE open with an ordinary stack that should become a HTML5 standalone. 1. You load the html5Player once. 2. You drop repeatedly the local stack (while it is saved but still open in the IDE) to the html5Player for testing. Whenever the local stack is closed in html5Player it will be deleted from browser RAM. > BR wrote: > I have a real use case...create a design environment that people can > easily add thing to a rect (414w x 726 tall) that represent a stack. > > EG of how it would be used. > 1.

Re: HTML5 deployment
* There are some things relating 1 & 2 one could think about:
Start with mouseEvents (incl. wheel) and modifier keys.
Then one could use native fields so that the browser does the keyboard job
and executes all shortcuts for fields.
To get/set field values is easy. A native styled field is also possible
(see my demo at hyperhh.de/html5).
My technique is to use ordinary LC fields, hide these (and optionally use
them as container). Then adjust the native field rects to these hidden field
rects in the movestack/resizestack handlers.
* For 3 it would be enough to define ONE 'window'/canvas of id 'menu' for the
menus with a z-level of say 23121950 and similarly define ONE 'window'/canvas
for the tooltips of id 'tooltip' with a z-level of say 23121949.
That implies: do NOT create a new window for each menu/tooltip.
Probably function createWindow in em-dc.js needs a switch for that (I could
not find out where this method is called for menus/tooltips).
Then insert the two lines
canvas.classList.add('lcStack');
canvas.id('stack_'+tWindowID);
after current line 128 of em-dc.js, so one has several methods to get stack
objects.
* For 4 one could use the lib I use for htmlPlayer. This needs jQuery but it
is the only one I've found that works with LC-menus. I added a short script
to put stacks into a panel.

Stacks need an own class for easier access in DOM. 4. Add a draggable, resizable windowing system (adding titlebar, decorations) with automatic layering (z-levels).

Have you ever looked into that generated js file?

AFAIK the current HTML5 standalone builder was made by Peter Brett in contact with Mark Waddingham. It uses Emscripten (only) to draw to a canvas. So, I don't know but I guess that the HTML5 standalone builder has to be (partially) rewritten to use Emscripten to compile LC source code into WebAssembly modules that run sandboxed together with regular JavaScript (having bindings especially to WebGL). One could omit controls/features that are/will soon be well done in HTML5, for example the audio/video/pdf/camera/img-webP parts. I guess this would run LC in a modern browser for some processes (especially graphics and image processing) much faster than in the current IDE. Who only can really answer (and do) that?

Re: html5Player
> Bob S. wrote: > I probably misunderstand the use of this. > I drug a simple stack into this but while it displays > fine, it does not function... Did you test it in the IDE? This is very simple in LC 9: Open the stack, select HTML5 (nothing else) in the standalone settings and hit the Test button. If it runs there it will run in the LCPlayer because it is the same engine. If it doesn't run then possibly you use wait (not supported in HTML5, use send in time instead).

Re: html5Player
> BR wrote: can you save anything from that view? 1. Generally yes. But this needs ALWAYS, with all modern browsers, manual user interaction: click a button or select from a menu. Similarly user interaction (click, drag and drop) is needed to read in such objects. * STACKS Panels with an LC icon at top left are stacks: We can save them to the downloads folder (will be implemented in the webIDE), except the Player/IDE itself. Or we can save parts of it (images or text/scripts/prefs) to the downloads folder. * Image/Pdf/Text/Audio/Video Panels with an LC icon at top left are javascript extensions that use callbacks to the main engine: Saving is browser/server dependent. You have the browser interface available for actions with manual user interaction: For example rightClick a PDF to save it to your local filesystem or print it via your OS printing (if the pdf is set to allow this) or download a video/audio (if the audio/video is set to allow this). 2. For the LCPlayer ... ... saving stacks makes sense only for stacks that are downloaded from server and then changed in the LCPlayer, like stack "ImageView" that stores local images for display in a "gallery". But this stack is part of the LCPlayer and will not run correctly without the main stack. Of course you can let the user download stacks that are "modules" (e.g. in a zip) and then import such modules into the LCPlayer (via the "click/drop local stack"). This would work with LC 9-stacks even on every OS that runs the LCPlayer, even on a Raspi 3/4. ___ 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
html5Player
HTML5: html5Player (v102 as of Jan 30, 2020) This is a HTML5 standalone (webApp in the new LC wording). https://hyperhh.de/html5/html5Player.html This is a "standalone-Plus" that is, it is extended by several javascript extensions for features that are not (yet) implemented in LC-HTML5 or not possible with LC. It can do among other the following. * Load (ordinary) local LC stacks by click or drag and drop. The stacks will run if they would compile and run with the HTML5 standalone builder (but you don't have to compile). The stacks MUST have one of the file endings .rev, .livecode or .livecodescript. * Load and display local or remote images (drag and drop images or copy/paste image urls is supported). * Load and display local audio/video (for cross-browser support use mp3 and mp4 only). Drag and drop file icons is supported. * Open a webview for videos, pdfs, audio streams and html pages. In such a webview you can safely run also HTML5 standalones that don't work in the html5Player because you inject javascript handlers/objects to the loading page. As the main page loads as https you can use https-Addresses only in the webview (especially for audio/video-streams). * Open one or several webcam views (works in newer Chrome, Safari, Brave, not in Firefox). All views are displayed in panels that are draggable and resizable (incl. minimize and maximize). HTML5: html5IDE (Inspector+Dictionary+ScriptEditor+Tools) The above html5Player will complete my experimental html5IDE that is close to "ready"". I can also meanwhile save edited stacks. But I don't publish newer versions than https://hyperhh.de/html5/html5IDE.html until LC does more in that field than renaming it to "WebApps". ___ 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: html5-IDE v100_alpha
> Tom G. wrote: > Is it to have an easier time testing html 5 features?. is it to turn it > into a product? The SE and the messaging between the standalones is already basically done in earlier parts of my html5 samples. To improve the scriptEditor (which is 80% codeMirror) and build the message exchanging I needed a "Tools"/IDE main stack. I made these tools in big parts using the html5SE. To improve the html5Tools I needed a property inspector. I made that PI in big parts using the html5SE and the html5Tools. To improve the PI I needed a dictionary. From Bernd I got an already working html5 version of his tinyDict (by bn and contributors). I only had to adjust it to my needs: LCS dict only, messaging to the other parts. Thanks Bernd. So, as usual with scripting IDEs, one does develop the IDE using itself (Kevin and the other LC-Heroes will smile here). The current "IDE"/playground is at this state more a "proof of concept". Probably a better error handling will be possible. And debugging will be possible if someone is able and willing to write a "LC-Lint" (in javascript, so it is fast enough for client-side use). As it is possible to copy/paste from the native fields (mainly all script editors and the property field) to the script editor of the LC-IDE, one can develop very fast in HTML5 and easily adjust the html5IDE to one's own needs (compile at the very end only, one doesn't have to compile to check for small script changes). HTML5 developing by LC (essentially) "paused" at a state that was *very* promising and kind of "avant-garde". This playground shall also show what is lost when the HTML5 standalone builder isn't continued. I'll add some other features to the html5Tools until the end of this year. But I can't afford to put more "main-time" in it, this is not doable in a few spare evening hours.

The script editor is based on Codemirror (MIT-licensed). There is a compact help (btn "H" of the Tools). There is still a lot to do... This "IDE" is made out of 6 independent standalones (in frames) that send messages to each other.

Re: WebP-Tool v103
@BR. There is currently not yet support for mobile (precompiled binaries). But Android 4.0+ supports the format natively in its browser. See https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/faq#which_web_browsers_natively_support_webp The way you could do it on desktop (and probably as soon as supported on mobile): You have only webp resources of the images (as custom props) in the stack. The binary (could also be installed into temporary folder) converts a webp image of the stack as soon as it is called to png (for display), on the fly. In my stack the needed time for that procedure is displayed above the image. After display you can delete the png -- if converting was fast enough... @JJS. This is most probably the reason for that: The stack contains only the binaries for 64bit machines. I tested successfully on a 64bit Win10 machine. See the instructions for using the stack on 32bit machines (this works here, I tested on a 32bit Win7 machine): http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?p=185384#p185384 Hope this was the reason and it's fine now. ___ 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: browserDocumentLoadComplete working correctly?
Klaus, looked in the scenario you mention. (I didn't say to use messages of the browser widget ...) This is your scenario (correct me if not): You have several pages on one or more foreign servers. These pages have dynamically generated content you wish to access and extract parts to custom properties. We need a solution that you can adjust yourself without knowing JavaScript. As you need a browser widget, several more use the same widget code, so they are no additional burden in size. You could try the following: Use the javascriptHandler JS I told you with an additional parameter (identifying the page) in the card script. Load each page you need in a separate (invisible) browser widget, using a short wait for the LC callback with that javaScriptHandler. In the handler JS you can check ALL incoming pages for having the content you wish to read, also with a "send in time" loop (say 500 millisecs intervals) for a retry. Then you can even build and update your display page with a "waiting for " for the parts that are not yet ready. A problem with that method could be that the server doesn't allow too many multiple connections from the same IP. Then one has to do the method in pieces with an allowed number of connections. For more detailed questions contact me via email. This may be too special for the list, especially as you may be not allowed to publish too much details. ___ 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: browserDocumentLoadComplete working correctly?
Yes, browserDocumentLoadComplete is working correctly and consistent with HTML5, no bug here. BrowserDocumentLoadComplete is fired as soon as the DOM is finished incl. *reading* your script tags. *After* that your javascript is *executed*. The server and browser/ browser widget don't check/care what you will execute in that page after loading the instructions. How should they know that? Nevertheless this is OK for short jobs, but if you are loading from a slow server or are loading large images and/or apply a time consuming javascript then you have to add some "waiting time", usually up to one second is long enough. There is only one "full" remedy I can see: An own JavaScript handler. One way to know exactly when you are done is to use an "async" function in onload so that you can "await" that certain jobs are done and then send a callback via a javascriptHandler to LC. ___ 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 work it out in the region of £15k. This is of course heavily depending on your skills in both Livecode Script and JavaScript. You shouldn't blame LiveCode if you need a lot of time for simple fixes/workarounds. 2. (As to Alain's bug report relating to the browser widget). Nobody from LC ever claimed, a browser widget would work in a HTML5 standalone. Also: everything (and more) what you can do with a browser widget can you do in the browser, may be using an iFrame for the display. Moreover, the available javascript in the browser is usually more up-to-date than what's integrated in the browser widget. A browser widget is good for exercising the parts that you do later on in the webpage from your standalone using the browser. The "translation" from browser widget to webpage is easy and fast to learn. 3.

Re: How much do we have to pay to get a minimum of efficiency from HTML5
LiveCode cannot do anything for you with that. The security dictator is 1. the OS 2. the browser you use for the standalone. There are a lot of differences alone by variations of these two. Yes, read and write from files is doable, but with the restrictions given by OS security and Browser security, what means: User interaction and/or same origin policy. For example you can read without any problems from the standalone's server location. With the help of a bit javascript you can read from any local file using a dialog, but you can write to nowhere but the user's downloads folder. I have shown that already long ago with some of my HTML5 examples (available incl. source code). TMHO there are so few license holders in HTML5 that there is nearly no step forward in that field -- sadly a downward spiral. Sadly, because there are already a *lot* of features implemented -- if you are able to handle that under the user's OS and browser. ___ 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

WebP-Tool v103
WebP is a new image format for the web, see
https://developers.google.com/speed/webp
The stack is a helper for using the BSD-licensed converter software, so
you can use webp images in your stacks.
The stack contains the binaries for 64bit Mac/Win/linux. You can copy them
to your own stack.
For 32bit machines see the instructions of the link below.
The WebP-Tool runs, using LC 8/9, on Mac/Win/linux.

Re: Need trig & LCB help
Greg, I've been away from LCB for a while. When reading the last post again I remembered an improvement that you could try to use: The current version computes the pathes with every redraw (onPaint). This is far too often. We could compute the pathes once (in onCreate) and then update ONLY when needed (= when one of its params changes). This will give your widget a lot of time for other things and makes the OnPaint code shorter. variable mBCircles as List variable mBigRad as Number variable mLilRad as Number variable mInnerRad as Number variable mBigX as Number variable mBigY as Number variable mBNum as Number [1] in OnCreate write: put the number of elements in mData into mBNum put my width/2 into mBigX put my height/2 into mBigY put mBigRad-mLilRad into mInnerRad updateCirclePaths([mBNum,mInnerRad,mLilRad,mBigX,mBigY]) [2] in OnPaint write: repeat with tButtonNumber from 1 up to mBNum fill mBCircles[tButtonNumber] on this canvas end repeat [3] This does the job minimal often: Whenever you change one of its params write also updateCirclePaths([mBNum,mInnerRad,mLilRad,mBigX,mBigY]) [4] This handler computes already the small circle paths: -- sets the list mBCircles of regularly placed circle paths, -- turns clockwise from high noon, is centered at point [cX,cY] -- pL = [numOfCircles,bigRadius,smallRadius,cX,cY] handler updateCirclePaths (in pL as List) returns nothing variable tI as Number variable tPi as Number variable tPaths as List put 2*pi/pL[1] into tPi put [] into tPts repeat with tI from 0 up to pL[1]-1 push circle path centered at point \ [pL[4]+pL[2]*sin(tI*tPi), pL[5]-pL[2]*cos(tI*tPi)] \ with radius pL[3] onto tPaths end repeat put tPaths into mBCircles end handler Hope you'll show us your shining new widget ... ___ 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: encoding woes!?
Hi Klaus,
this is dangerous because the code could have "mixed" encodings
if you (or your partner) edits the code in texteditors with
different encoding settings.
I looked again carefully into your first post.
You use the htmltext of the widget, so your original code is correct.
It works here as you would like.
So delete the file test.html and write it new by LC using
put textencode(the htmltext of widget "browser","UTF8") \
into url("file:" & specialfolderpath("desktop") & "/test.html")
Possibly there was some problem when you self-created the file.
I set the default encoding in BBEdit to UTF-8.
Also LiveCode uses a BOM. If there is no UTF-8 BOM it uses
Mac OS Roman. That is what you see when you type into msg
put textEncode(the htmltext of widget "Browser", "UTF-8").
If you use later on text from the DOM structure of your HTML,
have to decode before using in LC/writing to a file.
handlers.
I use this always together with base64Encoding (because javascript
handlers need ONE line of code in quotes).

Re: encoding woes!?
Just saw it now, overlooked that first:
You script
put textencode(tTExt,"UTF8") into url ("file": ...)
This should read
put textDecode(tTExt,"UTF8") into url ("file": ...)
=
But why using files?
If you don't want to type directly in the browser widget
you can make it "mirroring" a text field.
Example for a primitve HTML editor:
1. Write into fld "HTML"
[[ht]]
(You can now hide fld "HTML").
2. Then make a field "Tippse" and script it:
on textchanged
put the htmltext of me into ht
replace "" with "" in ht
replace "" with empty in ht
set htmltext of widget "browser" to merge(fld "HTML")
end textchanged
on enterInField
textchanged
end enterInField
Then you can do what your textfield allows
set textfont (bears some problems), textsize, styles etc.
and the widget will display it (well, approximately...)
[Another variant is to write directly into the DOM structure
of the current HTMLtext.]

OCR-Lite_v100
The stack OCR-Lite is a GUI to the JS library by Kevin Kwok https://github.com/antimatter15/ocrad.js which is in turn an emscripten port to GNU Ocrad by Antonio Diaz Diaz https://www.gnu.org/software/ocrad/ocrad.html The library is included in the stack, so you can use it offline. The License is GNU GENERAL PUBLIC v3.0 https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html Of course, tesseract has better results but it needs around 10 MByte of trainingData for each language. Ocrad.js has < 1 MByte size and yields, TMHO, in average good results. The stack runs (offline) using LC 8.1.10/9.0.5/9.5 on MacOS > 10.12 and using LC 9.0.5, on win 7/10 and linux (ubuntu1604). Be patient on windows, it's a bit slower than on Mac. You only have to import your images and hit the "OCR" button.

You need some criteria to find the topleft of the grid and the size of one letter: color/transparency/a marker(fixed image part)... You could also use pattern recognition for that.

Re: identifying text chars in an image
After a second read I think it will be hard to find a service to do that for you. And this is not doable using tesseract or similar from LiveCode: AFAIK, no "ordinary" OCR software is able to detect and read horizontal *and* vertical text and distinguish clearly between the board's "Score text" and the "Scrabble letters". You (or your service) would have to write an own "learning routine" for that. E.g. the algorithm described here: http://rasdasd.com/projects/Scrabble_Detector/Scrabble_Paper.pdf There are also approaches for own specialized boards like here https://github.com/eladj/ScrabbleOCR You could try to use the java from there via LC Builder's FFI. > Phil D. wrote: > I want to [programmatically] take a picture of a Scrabble board and then > take from that image the characters displayed in it, and maintain the > organization of the text.

The problem is that linux is for LiveCode a tiny niche. And much more: The linux users of the community are kind of "LiveCode masochists". Some are so advanced with that, that they meanwhile feel *very* strong pain only (your list above). For example you didn't even notice that SampleStacks didn't work for weeks when using Business or Indy and, despite notification in the list, both livecodeshare and SampleStacks didn't load stacks of size > 2 MByte for two days. Also your "GoLiveNet" (I really liked it) is unusable since more than a year from Mac using Indy or Business (I wrote you and gave up). [It errors with message 'Error downloading URL "liveNet.livecode.gz". Check network connection and proxy setup.' One has to quit, open it in a community edition, quit community edition, restart the Indy/Bussiness edition and relaunch GoLiveNet (that now can use the cache). So probably a tsNet caused bug. It is often too tedious to work around, I still feel the pain, although I like LC on linux (on xubuntu especially).] p.s.

That is, who knows that Steganograph embedded an object... ...can remove that object with a short script. ...can not read the embedded object as "clear" data, except he knows what YOU do with the object before embedding.

The PDf-lib doesn't use image snapshots. It is true PDF: Copied are pages and all it needs for each page from the pdf's catalog. So usually there will be no increase in size from the merged parts to the merged sum. And there will be no change in quality. The merged input pdfs can be of any size. So, as long as your "cropped sections" are true PDF and not images then there will be no problem. Of course, merging can't improve embedded pictures. And included pictures will pixelate at some point of enlarging.

I'll publish this weekend on SampleStacks a pdfLib (split and merge) based on a JS library (via a browser widget).

Re: Is there a command to display number of seconds as hrs:min:seconds?
Save a lot of lines by using "format":
on countdown t
put format("%02d:%02d:%02d",t div 3600,(t mod 3600) div 60,t mod 60) into fld
1
subtract 1 from t
if t < 0 then exit countDown
send "countdown t" to me in (1000-the millisecs mod 1000) millisecs
end countdown

That needs the same energy as the simple math method but as you ask: 1. set the twelvehourtime to false 2. compute what you get when converting t=0 to long time (=diff) 3. subtract diff from your start time 4. repeat converting your seconds value to long time ___ 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: Set font dynamically to fit text
In the repeat loop set the attributes of the empty field and use measureText (or measureUnicodeText) to compute the textSize. As a last step fill the field. ___ 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
