Re: Preference for Keeping Saved Empty Button Scripts Empty

You're right, not a good solution for newcomers. However, I think there's a (perhaps minority) class of newcomers - more or less, those who come as experienced developers in another language / IDE - for whom a good setup would include ST + linter + just enough of Levure to provide the

Re: Preference for Keeping Saved Empty Button Scripts Empty

I am using ST and Levure, now, and I have the linter working, and am a cheerleader for the setup. However, that is not a good solution for beginners, IMHO. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe,

Re: Preference for Keeping Saved Empty Button Scripts Empty

Why not just use Sublime Text editor, with Levure to allow you to use an external editor? (or plug in to that system to allow other external editors to be used) Other than the fact that I can't get the 'linter' to work (and I know that'll just be me doing something stupid and wrong :-), it

Re: Preference for Keeping Saved Empty Button Scripts Empty

I like the idea of going even another step further, and having macros that we can use. An example from another tool I use adds the ability to add structures (e.g. if-then-else, repeat, etc.), and even being able to hilite text and have the macro do something with the text, for example

Re: Preference for Keeping Saved Empty Button Scripts Empty

What about Mike Doub’s MasterLibrary? I just tried it in latest LC, and it fails because there is a function named a reserved word. But, it seems like a valuable resource that might be used as a starting point? Best, Bill William Prothero, PhD Professor Emeritus University of California, Santa

Re: Preference for Keeping Saved Empty Button Scripts Empty

Making scripted elements is a great thing for scripters to do. And the one thing we all have in common here is that we're all scripters. There should be no need to make LC Ltd's C++ experts set aside work on the engine to build these instead. What prevents any of us from delivering those?

Re: Preference for Keeping Saved Empty Button Scripts Empty

Perhaps a different direction here? I think it would be helpful to me as a perpetual newbie to have the option to insert common scripts on demand. Maybe a context sensitive dropdown with a mouseup framework for buttons, for fields, textchanged, keyup, keydown. Maybe backed by a personal snippet

Re: Preference for Keeping Saved Empty Button Scripts Empty

Going back to the original issue of "not applying the empty mouseup handler", wouldn't a frontscript running on a plugin on the IDE be enough to remove those scripts by interfeering with the IDE Editor at runtime? (PS: I have a thing for dangerous scripts...) On Wed, Jun 21, 2017 at 12:03 PM,

Which is exactly why this is a better idea. Kickstarter releases the funds when the funding goal is achieved, not when the product is finished. This idea is the reverse. 1. We set up the account 2. We fund the account 3. We administer the account 4. We decide which projects we want to fund at

I wrote support "complaining" that after I clear the on mouseup end mouseUp that is inserted in button scripts by default, apply, close, save. Then later if one inadvertently opens the script of that button, the script is reinserted. Panos replied this is the default behavior….gave
