Re: Compress/Decompress Inclustion?

[Bill Vlahos via use-livecode]

Once I close and remove from memory my template stack, I still see File 
Selector in the Project Browser but nowhere else in the IDE so I’m not sure how 
to remove it.

Even though I don’t create a standalone, the checkboxes for Macintosh, Windows, 
and Linux were checked. I unchecked the boxes and saved the template stack but 
the File Selector stack still gets opened when I open my template stack even 
after I quit and restart LiveCode.

I figure something must be opening it or referencing it in my template stack 
but I can’t find it.

Regarding the original aim of this email thread…I’ve isolated the problem to 
encryption/decryption as done in early versions of LiveCode such as 4.6 and 
later version such as 9.6. Trying to decrypt files saved in early versions of 
LiveCode with a modern version of LiveCode fails and vice versa.

I made a support ticket to LiveCode support on this.

Thank you,
Bill

Re: Compress/Decompress Inclustion?

Compression is part of the engine so you shouldn't need an inclusion. I've 
seen this error before and usually it's because the string has been altered 
in some way or wasn't compressed with LC or a compatible app.


Do you use binfile when retrieving the file from disk?

I’m manually selecting inclusions. Do I need to add compress and decompress 
as an Inclusion? If so, which Inclusion would it be?

Re: Compress/Decompress Inclustion?

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

The last sentence in the dictionary for decompress/compress says
'The (de)compress function <> uses the zlib compression library.'

So i would say adding 'Revolution   Zip" under inclusions should solve your 
problem.
