Re: Overwriting a file on a server

OK, I’ll be looking at it: I was not planning to use LiveCode server for this task, although as a matter of fact I do have a copy on the site in question for other purposes. Thanks to you and to Richard G. I’ll report back when I’ve sorted it out. Graham > On 6 Mar 2018, at 17:38, Mike Bonner

Re: Overwriting a file on a server

In case anyone was holding their breath, I have just realised that the data I wanted to store on the server can be stored elsewhere (in the application data area, as a property of a stack). So I won’t be in such a hurry to learn this stuff, though I know its value and will do so eventually.

Forcing a device update

Is there a way to force the IDE to look for attached mobile devices without restarting LiveCode? Typically I have half a dozen scripts open and I'm doing multiple test builds to a cabled phone. I edit some scripts and during that time the phone goes into low-power mode (not asleep or locked.)

Re: Horizontal and Portrait Scrolling on Mobile

Netflix is probably another example of something like this. On the home screen there are sections (categories) that scroll vertically and when stopped each row of movies will scroll horizontally. You can even move multiple rows at the same time. On Tue, Mar 6, 2018 at 5:12 PM Sannyasin

Re: Get URL anomaly

Thanks Jacque - since TSNet is an enforced presence on all commercial versions of LC, I wonder why libURL isn’t automatically included even in apps that don’t appear to be using internet access. It’s a gotcha that is likely to bother people apart from me, IMHO. Maybe ‘search for inclusions’

I am getting the impression that any calls to network functions in your app will cause tsNet to be included (assuming you have auto detect on). I could be wrong. > On Mar 5, 2018, at 02:18 , Graham Samuel via use-livecode > wrote: > > [This message was

Well, it looks like fontconfig is installed in on-rev, but neither /home//.fonts or /home//.local/share/fonts are being updated automatically. I tried to run fc-cache -f -v /home//.fonts and the font is indeed found, but I don't think I have all the required support directories, so there is no
