I love LiveCode. It is my favorite development language and I have written code in a LOT of different languages over the years.
However, it just irked me so damn much that I must VENT. Prior to LC6.7.x and the switch to the AVFoundation API if you: set the filename of player X to "/Users/.../Somemediafile.mov" and later put the filename of player X into tSomeFile tSomeFile contained the exact same local file path, i.e "/Users/.../Somemediafile.mov" In LC6.7.4 however, if you set the filename of player X to "C:/Users/.../Somemediafile.mov" and later put the filename of player X into tSomeFile tSomeFile now contains "file://C:/Users/.../Somemediafile.mov" which if you were trying to compare to another variable which had the same file name really f$%ks things up since the comparison fails. The adding of "file://" URI prefix just cost me an entire day of debugging. This really really should have been something that was in the Release Notes dear folks at RunRev. _______________________________________________ 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
