Re: Where does LiveCode/Windows store specialFolderPath("Resources") data?

Tried in Win 10-64 pro (v1803), both with LC 9.0.1 and 6.7.10, both in IDE and StandAlone. SpecialFolderPath("resources") _is_always_ item 1 to -2 of the effective filename of this stack (assuming slash as itemdel). > I store a data file that is update by > the user in

mergLA for Mac

I created an admin backend app for a client so they can manage data for their frontend app. This backend, based off client request, is running on macOS/Windows/iOS. The desktop versions use a password for authenticating access but the iOS deployment uses Touch/Face ID for authentication

Re: Script Editor Unusable on Windows

Folks, I've been complaining about LC on Windows for ages to Brahmanathaswami and occasionally on this list as well. I have a feeling that most people on HQ must be using Macs because there is no way this is going unnoticed. I have disabled all I could in terms of auto suggestion and other live

Re: Nested Datagrid Hack Broke App Building

No it was the code I put in the openStack handler to exit openStack if building an app. Unfortunately, I initialize several libraries after that point. It will probably work if I put the code just after initializing the libs and before launching my modal login stack, which was the problem I was

Re: Stacks whose names start with "rev"

It would be easy enough. Just maintain an array in each card's custom properties with a pseudoname and the long id as keys, and call a function to retrieve them when you reference them. But then, why name objects at all? Why not just refer to them by their long ids in the scripts? Also there is

Re: Stacks whose names start with "rev"

FileMaker goes much deeper than this, and functionality like this would almost have to be part of the engine. Naming things is a way of making it easier to keep track of them for the developer. Who wants to write graphic id 5621 of group id 5619 of group id 5615 of group id 5605 of group id 1282

RE: Script Editor Unusable on Windows

You may want to look at The LCStackBrowser Plugin. It has the ability to save stacks automatically. I have used this for years now. There were some problems recently when the LiveCode version went from 7 to 8 but the author has fixed that. Sincerely, Clarence Martin Email: chi...@themartinz.com

Re: Script Editor Unusable on Windows

Early on when LC was experiencing a CTD issue (this was around v6) I wrote code into my stacks that saved every time I closed a stack. I also save code incredibly frequently, sometimes every few line edits. I maintain local and offsite backups of what I do so I can revert, and I have a

Re: Stacks whose names start with "rev"

Yeah, we plan to change the name for the next release in January. The author of each courseware title names its sections and he named this one "Revelation as Apocalypse". It's currently in use by this semester's students, but he's agreed to a different name for next semester. The main thing I

Re: mergAV permission dialog

Answering my own question… I now see a note at the bottom of mergAVCamCreate that says "If only capturing barcodes or photos set the microphone to empty before calling mergAVCamCreate to avoid app store rejection.” So apparently my problem has a solution. At least as soon as I figure out how

Re: OT our shipping software is finally finished
