Great, thank you very much Matthias :)

I will file an enhancement request to make sure this behavior is documented
in the dictionary entry of the screenrect.

Kind regards,
Panos

Re: Help needed :)

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Hi Panos,

my father in law came back earlier than expected.
You were correct. The phone display was zoomed.
I switched it back to "standard" and tested again.

With "standard" the screenrect returns  0,0,414,736

Regards,
Matthias

Believe me or not, that was something i thought also could be the culprit. But 
forgot to test, because i got an important phone call.

I will test this later today. I had to give the phone back to the owner, but 
can get it back in the evening.

Hmm I think I have found something - I had checked for this before - but in
the wrong place.

@Matthias could you check if "Display Zoom" is enabled in your device?

This is in Settings -> Display and Brightness  and then scroll down and in
the "Display Zoom" section, does it say "Standard" or "Zoomed" ?

Kind regards,
Panos

Hello Matthias,

Thank you very much for testing. Hmm that's interesting. I forgot to
mention that the affected iPhones 8+ are running iOS 14.

The simulator we tested was running iOS 13.3. I am wondering if this is an
iOS 14 issue.

We are working on adding support for building with Xcode 12 / iOS 14 SDK,
so once this is ready, I'll test on the iOS 14 simulator.

In the meantime, if anyone has an iPhone 6+/7+/8+ running iOS < 14 and
would like to check what "the screenrect" returns, it would be great :)

Kind regards,
Panos

Hi Panos,

i just borrowed me an iphone 8 Plus.  I can confirm that on the real device the 
screenrect returns 0,0,375,667
Tried with all 3 variations (ipad, ipod&iphone, ipod/iphone/ipad) and with iOS 
10,11,12,13.

iOS 14.01
Modell MQ8L2ZD/A

Heh I wrote that msg in my phone while I was in a hurry, and I now see the
auto-correct has changed a couple of things :)

If a numeric sort produces that outcome either the data isn't purely 
numeric or you've found a bug.

LiveCode's arrays are associative arrays, in which elements have no 
inherent order relative to one another.


Keys are associated with values by a hash that determines the memory 
location of the value, and like most hashes the result maintains no 
metadata which describes either insertion order or order relative to 
other key values.


We can access array elements with a sense of order by first obtaining 
the keys and sorting those in whatever way is needed for the task at 
hand (numeric, alphanumeric, dateTime, etc.; provided of course the sort 
command works as questioned above).

Re: Help needed: Shell script stopped working in Mountain Lion!

[Bruce Pokras]

Thanks everyone for the responses. Looks like cupsfilter is the way to go. Do I 
need to name a .ppd file, or is that optional? Also, I don't see where I name 
the input filename. I am a HyperCard scripter from way back, so I am dependent 
upon others for stuff like this. So if I have the input file path and the 
desired output file path, what exactly should my "get (shell cupsfilter)" 
command say?

As for Dr. Hawkins' question about combining the PDF files, I discovered that 
this can be done using a Python script that is a built-in Automator action 
using a command like this:

get shell("python '/System/Library/Automator/Combine PDF 
Pages.action/Contents/Resources/join.py' -o '" & thisShort[x] & "' " & 
theAddOn) -- adding pages to the existing file

"thisShort" is an array of pathnames of _resultant- files to which the 
"theAddOn" page is added. The previous file [x-1] is deleted once theAddOn page 
is successfully added to the PDF. This command is still working in Mountain 
Lion (thankfully!). I can provide more details if you would like.

Regards,

Bruce

It looks like Matthias has already given the answer (which is also
useful to me!), but this caught my interest.

What are you using to combine pdf files?  Everything I've looked at so
far would resort to the command line (probably with gs) on macos &
linux, and I don't know yet on WIndows.

I'm dealing with outputting my own cards (which I do by export to
pdf), but I have a couple of external pdf that need to go in, which
I'm currently converting to png, putting on a card, and sending out as
part of the pdf export sequence.

Bruce,

if i remember right, but i could be wrong, then convert was just a symlink for 
cupsfilter.

Re: Help needed: Shell script stopped working in Mountain Lion!

[Mike Bonner]

After poking around some on mountain lion it looks like convert is gone.
 If these are upgraded machines you might be able to locate it somewhere in
/Previous System/...

Not positive this is the issue but its worth a check, and I am sure that
convert is not in the location you specified on my system. (also did a find
/ -name convert to search the whole system and didn't locate it)
