Can't speak for Firefox... maybe Andre will chime in on this. But CEF is spawned from the Chrome codebase, so that's the option. The "problem" as I understand it, is that you're supposed to embed your application within the framework, and we're embedding the framework inside the LC engine.

Only because of my environment customization. But what remains are: - Where is the documentation for QR *decoding* for both iOS and Android? - If this adds value to the product, why hide it from the public? - The Dictionary appears in my browser, not in a LiveCode window, so it appears the browser widget is still as dead as audio and video playback in LiveCode's Linux edition.

As for separate matter of the IDE-provided Dictionary, that it's broken in the Linux edition is the smaller problem, the bigger being that the reason there's no Dictionary is that there's no working browser widget. I understand that there are legitimate challenges with that. But I find it difficult to believe that it's technically impossible to embed a browser instance in another app on Linux. I don't mind admitting that I speak naively on that; I can't recall offhand seeing another native Linux app that embeds a browser. But given the increasing role of the browser widget as a solution in LC, if it's not going to be supported then at a minimum marking it and all things dependent on it (like the AOuth lib) as deprecated would at least provide clarity about what LC does and doesn't provide. I guess one upside is that the combination of the browser's ever-increasing importance and not having that available in LC (along with audio and video playback and others), has prompted me to reconsider the role of the desktop and devote more time to exclusively-web deployments, the market for which is far from slowing down. Hint: you can set 4Wdevolution's 'Dictionary' button to address it, and then you don't have to deal with the browser version any more.

Re: Can LC read QR-Code?
Hi Richard This isn't quite what you was asking for (I have to have LC open on my Mac to get the dictionary when coding in Linux), but here are the two library bits from the dictionary: *qrCreate* Type command Syntax qrCreate pImg,pData,pECC,pSize,pMask,pMinVersion,pMaxVersion Associations QR Code GeneratorSummaryCreate a QR codeParameters NameType Description pImg The name of an image object on the card, a filename or the special code "!" which will return the image data in the result. pDataThe data to be encoded. pECCThe error correction level "L" : 7% error correction "M" : 15% error correction "Q" : 25% error correction "H" : 30% error correction pSize Module size you can make the code larger/smaller. You can also just rescale the image after the code has been created. pMask An integer value between 0 and 7. When encoding a QR code, there are eight mask patterns that you can use to change the outputted matrix. Each mask pattern changes the bits according to their coordinates in the QR matrix. The purpose of a mask pattern is to make the QR code easier for a QR scanner to read. pMinVersion An integer value between 1 and 40. It must be lower or equal to pMaxVersion. If pMinVersion is not specified then the default value of 1 is used. pMaxVersion An integer value between 1 and 40. It must be higher or equal to pMinVersion. If pMaxVersion is not specified then the default value of 40 is used. • Examples qrCreate "MyImage", "QR data", "M", 3 --creating QR Code with ECC level M, Size 3, Mask 7 and version 14 qrCreate "MyImage", "QR data", "M", 3, 7, 14, 14 -- example how to use qrCreate with LiveCode server qrCreate "!", tData, tECC, tSize put the result into tData if tData begins with "Error" then put tData else # line 1 of the result contains some info # the remaining lines contain the png image data put line 1 of tData into tInfo delete line 1 of tData put "Qr code info" & LF put "Version: " & item 1 of tInfo & "" & LF put "ECC: " & item 2 of tInfo & "" & LF put "Mode: " & item 3 of tInfo & "" & LF put "Mask: " & item 4 of tInfo & "" & LF # show the image put base64Encode(tData) into tData replace LF with empty in tData put "" & LF end if Value Name Type Description the result If successful, the first line of the result will be the following values: QR version ECC Mode Mask Image size with quiet zone (based on module size 1) If there was an error the result will contain "Error:" and then an error description. If the special character '!' is used for pImg, then the result also contains the raw output of a png image. You can use this data, for example, with LiveCode server to generate QR codes on web pages. Description Set the text of an image to a QR code or get the PMG data of the QR code image. *qrSetColors* Type command Syntax qrSetColors pForeground,pBackground Associations QR Code Generator Summary Set colors other than the default black and white Parameters NameTypeDescription pForeground A color name or RGB triplet pBackground A color name or RGB triplet Examples qrSetColors "Blue", "Yellow" Description Optionally use colors other than black and white there must be a high enough contrast between colors for scanning the foreground color should be darker than the background color.
