Put the commands you want to run in the preopen handler of your plug-in stack. Save the stack Close LC Put the stack into you're "My LiveCode/Plugins" folder. The location of this folder can be found in LC preferences in the "Files and Memory" section. Reopen LC Go to the Development==>Plugins and select(at the bottom) "Plugin Settings" Select your Plugin from the dropdown list In the "Open Plugin when:" section select "LiveCode starts up" In the "Open as" section select "Invisible"
Restart LC and you should be good to go.

The plugin in does not appear on the plugins menu and I do not know what I did wrong. The link to creating plugins was helpful, but lacked specifics. Do I need to do something special to make it a plug-in? Such as having a shebang statement or a special command at the top declaring it a plug-in? Do it have to have a specific naming format? Should it begin or end with "rev" for example? I called it "intefaceScaling.livecode". Perhaps that was wrong to do. Looking at existing ones as examples I did not get the impression that was so. When I ran the command "put the stacks" it outputted the following. /opt/livecode/livecodecommunity-9.6.0.x86_64/Toolset/palettes/tools/revtools .livecodescript /opt/livecode/livecodecommunity-9.6.0.x86_64/Toolset/palettes/message box/revmessagebox.8.rev /opt/livecode/livecodecommunity-9.6.0.x86_64/Toolset/palettes/menubar/revmen ubar.livecodescript Do I need absolute filenames in my script? Do I need anything else in the script that makes up my plugin? Currently all I know to type is the following. set the scalefactor of stack "revtools" to 2 set the scalefactor of stack "revmessagebox.8" to 2 set the scalefactor of stack "revmenubar" to 2 Surely I need more than that. Sorry for my ignorance of what should be easy. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
