Nope..its not sharing any resources, each one runs isolated in its own folder. Yep... you can set affinity manually using the task manager. The only thing shared between them is the name of the stack window...I guess I'll test that first. This is weird and I don't like it . but it only

That's a thought. Also, there used to be a way to set the affinity of an application to prefer or only run on one core. This was in the early days of multi-cores where apps might not be multicore aware. Not sure if this is a thing anymore. Bob S > On Dec 26, 2019, at 16:15 , Peter Bogdanoff

I've tested this by locking up a core using the IDE by putting it in a loop. But no other process gets locked up, because my OS correctly does not assign the busy core to any other process. So all other applications and windows are still responsive. EXCEPT in a situation when the Livecode IDE

I’m on a quad-core Intel Xeon E5 (Mac Pro) and LC 8 could definitely lock up the machine. Only with difficulty could I eventually force LC to quit. Peter Bogdanoff > On Dec 26, 2019, at 3:31 PM, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode > wrote: > > I ahould have saif multiple cores not both. > >> On

On the machine, or on the core? LC should only be using a single core on Multi-core systems. Any other process using that core may be affected, but not necessarily processes using the other core. It may be academic though, as most apps today are probably using both cores simultaneously. Bob S

It may be the issue with repeat loops that do not yield to the engine periodically. This was an issue all the way back to MetaCard and I am not sure if it has been changed since then. Basicaly, running a lengthy repeat loop locks up the entire CPU until the loop exits. If this is the problem

Hi Peter, thanks, you are right the wait command does eliminate the window lock up but my question was more so about why the Livecode IDE (with open file A)...seems forced to share the same cpu core with Standalone of file A and if anyone else has come across that beforethey lock up in

Hi Tom I'm not sure about Windows 10 behaviour but I had a similar problem with Windows 7. It seemed that my LC app was not releasing the processor long enough to handle basic user I/O. The solution was to add the following to all my tight loops: wait 0 milliseconds with messages The
