Yes, works fine now here as well, and looks to be quite an impressive musical 
accomplishment. 

Best of luck with it.

Re: M1 Mac possible problem

[Peter Bogdanoff via use-livecode]

Thanks Henk.

The problem that I could finally reproduce was a sub stack (that is “in use”) 
not receiving the openStack message when it was opened. This caused the 
program's initialization script to pause. So I replaced the openStack handler 
in the sub stack with that would receive a sent message, then things proceeded 
properly.

A timing issue for some computers? Some users were experiencing the anomaly and 
others not.

 I’m seeing that the issue is probably not processor related. Bernard on an 
 M1 didn’t have trouble. Matthias on Intel did, as well as Mark who didn’t 
 specify what he had—but the bad results do mirror exactly what the Chinese 
 user was seeing on her M1.
 
 The final card that becomes unresponsive is because of a semi-opaque 
 overlay that’s a setup for a license activation group to show on top. At 
 that point the program is trying to read a local file that contains the 
 current license info—if the local license file doesn’t exist (new user), 
 it will load the license group with a field to enter a key, or the user 
 can choose to continue with the free limited version. The script is 
 seeming to stop around that point.
 
 I’ve been trying to make the problem show for me, including what Matthias 
 suggested—running it from the installer which does seem to work normally. 
 I also tried deleting the pref file containing language and location 
 choices that was written at the opening, in hopes of narrowing it down to 
 an inability to write or read a file from the pref folder in the library. 
 Deleting the pref file caused a script error that shows the standard LC 
 error dialog added by the installer, so it’s not that.
 
 So apparently something in my script is failing to complete for some 
 users. This was built with LC 9.6.1. I’ll work on it more…

One thing i noticed is that although the language is set to english, the 
program settings dialog shows Chinese text.

 Regarding your problem.
 Is it possible by any change that your user is running the app from 
 mounted DMG? At least then it does not go any further after pressing the 
 button with chinese text. The next card, which displays J.S Bach i think, 
 comes up, but the menu in the middle is greyed out and the program stops.
 When quitting it still prompts if you want to quit. But none of the menu

Re: M1 Mac possible problem

Hi to all those that did a test of my Music In the Air program some days ago on 
your Mac.

I think I have fixed the installation problem. Would you do a quick test to see 
if it runs now?

https://artsinteractive-products.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/MITA/TestVersion/MITA-installer-mac-china.dmg


I found a variety of anomalies that might have contributed to the problem, but 
I’ll wait to see if it’s better now…

Thanks!

Hi Peter,

Same results here.

Big Sur

On the opening screen I could either delete or reset the preferences, but in 
the end that made no difference. If you need any more tests, just let me know.

 Hi,
 
 A particular user of my Music In the Air program is having trouble with it 
 running correctly; a card fails to load the data to go ahead. She is in 
 China and is using an M1 Mac, neither of which I have access to directly.
 
 Would someone who has an M1 try running it and letting me know what 
 happens?

 This is a limited demo version, otherwise fully functional, and will be

 Thanks very much, and you can let me know off list what happens.

Re: M1 Mac possible problem

[Mark Talluto via use-livecode]

Hi Peter,

Here are my test results:

Intel iMac, Catalina
I used the Dmg to install the app in my applications folder.

I ran the software, picked English (language) and World (location).
The software will not let me click on anything beyond this screen:

Re: M1 Mac possible problem

[Peter Bogdanoff via use-livecode]

Thanks Matthias, Bernard, and Mark!

I’m seeing that the issue is probably not processor related. Bernard on an M1 
didn’t have trouble. Matthias on Intel did, as well as Mark who didn’t specify 
what he had—but the bad results do mirror exactly what the Chinese user was 
seeing on her M1.

The final card that becomes unresponsive is because of a semi-opaque overlay 
that’s a setup for a license activation group to show on top. At that point the 
program is trying to read a local file that contains the current license 
info—if the local license file doesn’t exist (new user), it will load the 
license group with a field to enter a key, or the user can choose to continue 
with the free limited version. The script is seeming to stop around that point.

I’ve been trying to make the problem show for me, including what Matthias 
suggested—running it from the installer which does seem to work normally. I 
also tried deleting the pref file containing language and location choices that 
was written at the opening, in hopes of narrowing it down to an inability to 
write or read a file from the pref folder in the library. Deleting the pref 
file caused a script error that shows the standard LC error dialog added by the 
installer, so it’s not that.

So apparently something in my script is failing to complete for some users. 
This was built with LC 9.6.1. I’ll work on it more…

I had the same result as Matthias. Beyond the opening screen and the partial 
opening of the JSB screen, I was not able to get anything to load.

Re: M1 Mac possible problem

[Bernard Devlin via use-livecode]

I tried it on M1.  After selecting "English" the next screen is in Chinese.
However, going beyond that it is in English. I couldn't detect any
problems. I went through half a dozen screens. The only one that didn't
load was the Glossary, but a dialogue came up saying that wasn't available
in this version.

Re: M1 Mac possible problem

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Dear Peter,

i have not an M1, but am always interested what can be produced with LC.

I tested your program and noticed that although i switched to English and World 
i see a button with chinese text on the next page.

Regarding your problem.
Is it possible by any change that your user is running the app from mounted 
DMG? At least then it does not go any further after pressing the button with 
chinese text. The next card, which displays J.S Bach i think, comes up, but the 
menu in the middle is greyed out and the program stops.
When quitting it still prompts if you want to quit. But none of the menu 
entries work.

Regards,
Matthias
