Basically these lower-level platform specific operations can be used
to create a mobile handler script library, which would be a
script-library in the open source repository - which can contain the
cross-platform 'mobile' implementations.
It makes it visible, accessible and something which is much easier for
people to contribute to - or copy, rename and modify as they need to
for their specific project.
Got it. And yes, that speaks directly to my point, so we're on the
same page. Whew! Email is sometimes not the easiest way to
communicate, even when both sides are speaking the (more or less) same
language.
Heh - indeed - the thought in my mind was always that it would be a
common script-library - however, looking back I never actually
articulated that.
By the way @Richard - my suggestion for 'valueDiff' (or whatever variant
comes out of any discussion) was that after some fettling over the
details - such things like that could, too, become part of a common
'utility' script library in the engine repository (or a set of utility
libraries, after all not every project needs everything).
Indeed, internally we have already been building such a thing (for
various reasons - although mainly because I got bored hand-coding the
same lines of code again and again - which I'm sure we all do!) - its
not ready for public release yet, but we fully intend to do so when
we've dotted a few i's and crossed a few t's. (We need to support it
after all if it is the main repository - so I want to make sure it is in
a supportable state when it debuts).
One of the most useful things it has are LiveCode implementations of the
Python path functions - and, oh my god, do they make any code which
manipulates files soooo much easier.
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
