Re: RIP David Boggs
The NYT claim that I have used up all of my “free views” this month is a LIE. Anyway, the New York Times is all about Rupert Murdoch now as far as I’m concerned. Not exactly trusted. I’m glad that Boggs invented ethernet. I remember when I first heard about it; I was at a seminar for Covis in 1980 - all their Star Terminals in the room were connected via ethernet. Later that year I had a job interview with Andy Moore to possibly work at Sprocket systems in San Rafael (Lucasfilm) and they also had a network of star terminals all over the facility. I didn’t have a degree so I didn’t get that second call. But it was good to see my friends at work there, one eventually got an Academy award for his work on Star Wars.

Dear Curry, What has happened in Washington was way beyond the definition of political. You are a vindictive, delusional, selfish person. I was trying to give you an off-ramp to your parade of lies, or at least apologize. Instead you repeated my off-list message to you on the use-list. Very low class. What was the purpose of that? What were you looking for, people to back up your sorry ass? If you are Republican and still support Trump the traitor and his supporters, then I have zero respect for you. period. sqb -- Stephen Barncard - Sebastopol Ca.

My last word. Curry's gaslight and personal attack tells me all I need to know about which team Curry is cheering for. I am defending my words - I said nothing wrong or inaccurate.

Re: Slightly OT: downloading Xcode
Hey everyone. Chopping up a gigantic file into little bits to be zipped then uploaded is nuts. Chopped nuts! The A in ADSL means ASYMETRICAL - which means uneven- upload speed and is a fraction of the download speed. It would take a long time with most POTS internets to upload gigabyte files. What I do with files that are too big to upload is to put it on an inexpensive SDHC chip and send it in regular mail. I do this all the time with video files.

Re: Slightly OT: downloading Xcode
Hi Graham, This sounds quite futile for you on such an imperfect connection, and an unfair situation created by Apple. I guess they expect all developers to have fiber-to-the-home or live in glass corporate towers with <2 megabit connections. Such code bloat surely could be reduced greatly by refactoring by their wonderful code scientists, but I guess that's not efficient. I'll bet that over 60% of that block is absolute bloat but that's the world they've dealt us. ADSL is an especially imperfect, ancient tech using analog phone lines to carry digital signals and very susceptible to interference and bad weather. I struggled with it for years at my place in Sebastopol, even a connection with two lines until I switched to a cable based system. It's all about the distance to the cabinet and then from there to the central office. The local cabinet (which could be on a pole) could be connected to a fiber optic line but if the POTS (plain old telephone service) wires are old and stressed can be the culprit. And even the wires from the cabinet to your house may not be a continuous run. There might be branches of line that dead-ends that used to connect to someone else's house. A call to your telephone provider might make a big difference when you tell them your problem - it may not be the internet provider's issue. Sometimes the telephone connection at your house itself could be the reason why the speed varies so much. Moisture and humidity can contribute to bad terminations - look for "green copper" at the screw terminals - a sure sign of contamination and resistance. They are trying to send analog signals at near radio frequencies and that's very critical. Finally, telephone companies around the world are replacing old copper lines with fiber optic lines all the way to the home. The price of copper these days has made the old wire a resource and makes it possible for the telephone providers to run fibre everywhere more economical and possible due to the salvage of the previous copper wires - fiber lines are cheaper per foot vs bandwidth and carry TV signals too. The bandwidth needed to be a developer today isn't going to get any less and rural customers are going to need this bandwidth as much as urban ones in the near future. for now, Is it possible for you to take a laptop to another town, perhaps a cyber-cafe with a suitable connection? If the time it takes to download longer than it takes to drive there, would that make sense? Or perhaps a friend that is also a developer elsewhere in France that would be kind enough to drop it on to a USB stick or drive you could send him? Certainly there must be a fellow Live-coder in your country that could do this? Or am I being naive? -- Stephen Barncard - Sebastopol Ca.

Re: Tab Buttons Mac vs. Win
I had become aware of and long appreciated Tog, even in 1983 when I had a job at Datamost, and the first mac on my desktop. The single floppy and the horrible printer got in the way and I didn't again consider the machine for my hardware control development work over the Apple ][ until 1987 when I got A Studios connected to the developer program (thanks to fellow Datamost employee Craig Keithley). It was in that first box that the Mac SE (with a 20mb hard drive) that I went looking for the included "card". What card? Where is it? Oh, it's *Hypercard*! It changed my life of course and that of A Studios too. After that I could fully understand and utilize Tog's vision and its Xerox roots embedded in this wonderful tool as I built a dedicated control system for A tape copy <http://amstudios.net/htdoc/Pages/welcome_PP.html>. I think Tognazzini was written about in that first Mac User issue that featured members of the original design team. Keithley was a friend of Steve Jobs and Woz in the Apple ][ garage days, could have been employee #4 but he was very young and he and his parents moved to LA. He was "slightly" unhappy about that. He eventually got a job at 1 Infinite Loop. I'm sure Mike Markkula (Johnny Appleseed) knew of him too. If in 1975 I hadn't gotten pissed off at the Grateful Dead and taken off to LA, I very likely would have ended up at that Homebrew Computer Club because I was seeking information about these microprocessor thingies. In life, there are many forks in the road. Brushes with greatness. I am truly fortunate. sqb -- Stephen Barncard - Sebastopol Ca.

Re: [off-topic-ish] do you prefer LC-related content as books or video courses?
I prefer video, but I feel demonstrations should have some production value other that just a screen share. Indicators, motion graphics, etc and not just a guy and his desktop. And EDITING!!! I'm a Final Cut Pro video guy these days and have ALL the groovy plugins so I'm not being fair I guess. iMovie is far better these days that it used to be, but strangely very difficult to upgrade an iMovie package to Final Cut, once one is there. Roadblocks everywhere. Typical Apple %$#%#%#$%#$. sqb -- Stephen Barncard - Sebastopol Ca.

Re: LiveCode Zoom
Hi David, I'm not sure there's a good reason to integrate Livecode into the Zoom API just for the sake of using Livecode to do it.I do like the idea of using Zoom for discussions and demonstrations of Livecode technology. All anyone needs to do is for the leader to have the lowest level subscription to Zoom ($15US) which allows that person to host up to 100 participants. I noticed that our last (first?) Zoom online meeting with the mother ship there weren't that many participants. It also appears that access to their API might not be for ordinary mortals (i.e. $$$). What could we add to Zoom that they don't already offer? Easy to find the API info though https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api -- Stephen Barncard - Sebastopol Ca.

Re: No support for 24bit/96kHz audio file?
Mark, My experience with the built in player in the past has been difficult and it never served files greater than 16 bit up to 48k. In 2006 I reverse engineered (hacked) the player object to EXPORT audio files and required a lot of convoluted code to reassemble as a wav or aiff file, building the binary jump table was a trip. I gave up after that. Has it ever really been improved? Player vs "Player control" ? It used to depend on Quicktime which is now doornail. sqb -- Stephen Barncard - Sebastopol Ca.

that stupid notch
My apologies to my LC friends here, as I am posting a platform-specific issue that is not related to Livecode, but for some reason the 'notch' has appeared in my menubar (High Sierra). I have a two screen system but the 'notch' only appears on one screen. This is the dumbest thing I've seen from Apple. First of all it's useless Second it's taking up space in my menu-bar I can't find a thing about it on the interwebs - and I'm a pretty good researcher. So with heavy heart and bruised ego, I ask have any of you see this? does anyone know how to remove it? sqb -- Stephen Barncard - Sebastopol Ca.

Re: Realtime sound generation in LC
a few years ago I got into trying to export audio files imbedded inside Livecode to wave and aif and I got it to work, but just dealing with the pointers and grokking how Livecode stored audio was a challenge. I didn't try any processing. The late Mark Smith was way ahead of me and even had a waveform display and a traveling cursor line on playback it was brilliant. I think his stacks are still online somewhere. We were going to collaborate before he died. this way back about 2007 when I was still working for Mike Markkula and Jerry Jensen. I have my stacks around somewhere but it stopped working at some version I can't remember. My notes aren't human readable. I started that because I had uncompressed audio files trapped inside rev stacks but there was no way to export audio built in. I always thought that was odd. -- Stephen Barncard - Sebastopol Ca.

"1. How does changing the date affect their space quota?"

Re: setting file created date in livecode from script
answering my own question: TOUCH looks like what I want... gotta love BSD Unix... NAME touch -- change file access and modification times SYNOPSIS touch [-A [-][[hh]mm]SS] [-acfhm] [-r file] [-t [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.SS]] file ... DESCRIPTION The touch utility sets the modification and access times of files. If any file does not exist, it is created with default permissions. By default, touch changes both modification and access times. The -a and -m flags may be used to select the access time or the modification time individually. Selecting both is equivalent to the default. By default, the timestamps are set to the current time. The -t flag explicitly spec- ifies a different time, and the -r flag specifies to set the times those of the specified file. The -A flag adjusts the values by a specified amount. . full definition can be had by typing MAN TOUCH I hope others can use this knowledge..sorry to raise the alarm. I'm off to write a handler, which I'll post later if anyone is interested Now I've got to find those EXIF routines, they're around somewhere thanks , self this is the kind of stuff that LC is so good for... -- Stephen Barncard - Sebastopol Ca.

setting file created date in livecode from script
Hi Gang, I thought file date change had been a part of livecode for years, but I can't find anything in the docs about setting the created or modified dates in files. I need to do this on the Mac desktop. Why? because several years ago $@$#$@#$@'ing dropbox, without my permission, started changing not only filenames but DATES in a huge swath of precious photos in a particularly dishonest way -- they wanted my free account to fill up quickly so I'd have to "upgrade". I know the EXIF tags still exist inside each file, but all the file dates had been changed to the date of copying. Dropbox has been increasingly piggish lately - not allowing more than 3 machines on the free account. It's a mess. This does not endear me to these greedy people. I have to write a custom handler to deal with this - there's no app that can do this - I don't think. perhaps there's something I can call from the shell - I'd be good with that. Anyone have an idea?

Hi Peter, why don't you consider a VPN for such testing? It can place you in any country you need, and you get immediate confirmation.

Re: Best way to store videos
um... Peter.. streaming video is not just about having the storage space... It's what the servers do to match up the devices calling with the appropriate size and type file. Typically many versions of the same video are created for each upload. The Vimeo and YouTube web apps handle all of that. Believe me I resisted for years and insisted on hosting my own video content, but when the quality got to be HD for everyone, they dumped Flash® and I figured out how one could turn off the ads, I was sold. -- Stephen Barncard - Sebastopol Ca.

Re: Best way to store videos
YouTube is great these days. If you take the time to become a verified subscriber all the world will be revealed to you. They have many tools and they re-written the whole thing, and it’s pretty good. It’s also free. You can make playlists and decide what happens at the end, and add links and other text. After you earn your stars and are good for a while they will give you these privileges. And as far as video streaming, they actually appear to be the best. They are so equipped with their mirror servers all over the world. I used to shun YouTube for several years because of their lower quality at the time but now they’ve come up to do not only great serving but live streaming as well. You can create extra users. And it has a better social features. Vimeo streaming is still excellent but I like the extended distribution that YouTube has. And I have to pay over $100 a year to be able to upload the quality I want quickly.

Re: editing & combining sound files?
if you have a lot of files to convert, I'd go for using Livecode for "glue"
while making calls to SOX.
SOX can convert and move in one operation;
forget doing anything in Livecode with sound - the internals are not
equipped to be easy to manipulate.
I actually made an editor that could draw out an imbedded sound in a stack
and export to AIFF by moving binary blocks around and reconstructing the
headers and jump tables. There are several ambiguities in audio file
standards to make things messy, although the audio blocks of WAV and AIFF
files are almost identical. Look out for little and big endian variations,
etc.
SOX did everything I needed, including conversion to MP3.
