Re: OS X Firewall triggering on launch

I did some googling and it turns out this is an OS X glitch that dates back several years. It isn't app-specific. The first thing to try is to remove the app from the firewall list and then put it back again when you next launch. That hasn't worked for me. The nuclear option is to delete the

Thank you to everyone, especially hh and colin. I was using "answer file with no "titled" clause. I need to remain on 6.7.11 for this immediate work, so updating to LC 8.x is not an option at this time (that's next on the list). Adding the titled clause makes it work just fine. Thank you all!

First, I realize I am on old versions of things. I am using LC 6.7.11 and running mostly under OSX Mavericks (10.9.5) I just discovered that - under El Capitan (10.11.x) and presumably 10.12 - the LiveCode 'ask file ' statement no longer display the text because the open file dialog under El

Well as I said, the workaround is to have a function (say formatNumber) with 2 arguments, value and format string. Because the numberFormat is getting set only for that function, you can call formatNumber() and never have to worry about resetting numberformat again. And it's not more difficult
