Clipboard problem

I’ve just installed LiveCode 8.1.1 and I’ve come across an anomaly with the clipboard in Mac OS X 10.9.5. When I populate the clipboard with a return-delimited list using this line the results paste correctly into Nisus Writer Pro but paste into Excel with an extra blank line between lines,

sluggishness of 8.1.1 on send in 0/wait 0 pairs?

I still don't have my finger completely on this one, but watching the sluggish shifting back and forth between tabs on the script editor, I think I'm starting to grasp it. I (like I assume many others) have a number of places with blocks like send doIt to stack worker in 0 wait 0 with messages

conversion of field margins from older version to 8

Among the quiet changes in 8 was a significant change in how field margins are rendered, making many of my cards difficult to read. Is there a simple script that can concert from old to new? I suppose that this came about because the default margins and placement were utterly inconsistent across

While we’re at it (in case the mother ship is listening), HTML5 deployment is still said to be “highly experimental”. That would prevent me (and I imagine others) from even trying to produce a browser-based app. Is this going to change, and sooner or later? > On 24 Oct 2016, at 11:26, Tiemo

Bob, Thanks for the info. Trying to implement this on my own is getting deeper into the bowels of Xcode than I want. I looked at the api for Dropbox and fiddled with it a bit, but communicating with these api's is not in my area of expertise. I'd love to see some sample code. I looked at the

Are you referring to the phoenix lib? The documentation is pretty much in order. There is also the mergDropbox plugin that LC distributes, and there's a Dropbox 2.0 API that is also out there. We do all of our data transfer between devices and desktops with dropbox, right now. That's across a

Re: Store to iCloud Drive on iOS?

Bill, just continuing that discussion on dropbox, what you would do is retrieve the file from dropbox, and then store it with your app (it's just a file). The one thing I haven't tried to do is to use persistent custom properties inside of my apps. I'm more worried about the user deleting the

Re: [ANN] Release 9.0 DP 1

So you want to create the PDF from scratch? How about if you were able to create the PDF as a fillable form, then save it in a database so you could recreate it at will? That is what my Forms Generator does. You can then fill it using either Applescript on a Mac, or else by creating the FDF xml

Re: Store to iCloud Drive on iOS?

iOS has no file system that is accessible by the user. Installed apps are compiled to run "in place" and if they need memory for other things the memory is sandboxed from other apps. Your app can request permission to access another app's data, which that app has to be written to allow, and the

If you get info on the file or folder, then click the path in the dialog (it doesn't look like a path but click it anyway) then copy it, you can paste it into a text file and it will paste as the full path. Bob S > On Oct 21, 2016, at 13:15 , William Prothero wrote:

Why pointers are fast

To understand why pointers are fast you need to know a pointer stores the address to a object like a variable in memory and you need to know what that address is doing. Here is another really good lesson on pointers. http://masters-of-the-void.com The tutorial is called Masters of the Void and

Re: Store to iCloud Drive on iOS?

In Forms Generator, I have the users log in, and the first time they do they are prompted for certain critical settings, without which the app won't function. I save those settings in the login table of the database. For your purposes, you could simply create a sqlite table for that purpose.

I was looking at the dictionary, about a month ago. The problem, now, is that it is being rendered using the 'bootstrap' javascript framework, so the only way to really work on it is to either learn the ins and outs of the framework or to start over. The good news is that LC updated to the

Hi Graham, HTML5 still doesn’t talk to the outside world. You can’t have it access any databases etc. It is so experimental that I find it to be useless. I’m still waiting for a finished professional HTML5 product to be delivered to us. Until that time arrives I can’t recommend it to anyone.
