Did not know until a week ago anything about the concept of LC profiles, as in revSetCardProfile, revSetStackProfile, or revSetStackFileProfile.
So, looked at the LC doc and found this: "You create a profile for an object, and give it a name, using the PROPERTY PROFILES PANE in the object's PROPERTY INSPECTOR." However, even with the example on the LC wiki of an image showing this pane <http://livecode.wikia.com/wiki/Property_profile?file=Profile.png> , neither on Mac or Windows 8.1.8, and neither in the Property Inspector or any other LC menu couId see anything called PROPERTY PROFILES PANE or resembling what that image shows. Then, searching the LC forum, in the thread Creating property profiles <http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=18904&p=95314&hilit=property+profiles+pane#p95314> (2014.01.25), Jacque wrote "The "create profiles automatically" option is in LIVECODE PREFERENCE in the PROFILES PANE." However, not only does Jacque's profile pane look nothing like the Wiki image's, but the former only allows naming the "master profile" and has a checkbox for "Create profiles automatically". Is this a LC version problem? Or is it it simply that I don't know how to work with profiles? If the latter, I'd sure appreciate detailed examples of how to create a couple of profiles, and then implement them. On the other hand, in the LC forum thread Property Profiles and revSetStackFileProfile <http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=5234&p=23573&hilit=property+profile#p23573> (2010.04.23), Klaus warns against using profiles and instead use CustomProperties and CustomPropertySets. He even offers a sample stack <http://www.major-k.de/staxx/cp-sets1.mc.zip> "CP-Sets1" (scroll down the page) showing how that works. So, my other question is, avoid profiles completely? -- Nicolas Cueto _______________________________________________ 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
