Re: Lion Xcode 3.2.6
Hi Terry, Yes, it is possible that the app store can't distinguish a dev preview and the golden master. Downloading Lion directly from your Apple dev account is the right thing to do. I have no trouble building standalones for iOS with XCode 4. It may be unspupported but it works. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 New: Download the Installer Maker Plugin 1.6 for LiveCode here http://qery.us/ce On 21 jul 2011, at 06:45, Terry Vogelaar wrote: Hi there, Is anyone experiencing this same problem with Lion? I cannot save a stack as a standalone for iOS anymore since upgrading to Lion. When I go to the preferences and go under Mobile Support and choose 'Location of developer root for iOS 3.2 and above', it says '/Developer' like it should. When I browse to reselect it, it says: 'The chosen folder is not a valid iOS SDK for 3.2 and later. It must be the one that ships with XCode 3.2.4 or later.' I also tried installing Xcode 4.1 for Lion, which is the preferred version for Lion, but that is not supported by RunRev (yet). I'm on Developer Preview 4 of Lion. I wanted to upgrade yesterday, but I couldn't, because it is 'Already installed' according to the App Store. So I will download it at work and bring it here on an USB stick. Hopefully this resolves these issues.

Re: save formatted text in a file
Hi Martin, What do you want to do with your text? If you want to use it in a text editor, then it is often useful to keep unformatted text. If you want to import formatted text into Word or Pages, you could use the rtfText property. put the rtfText of field Some Field into myData open file myPath for binary write write myData to file myPath close file myPath Make sure to use binary write. Btw you probably will want to use the .rtf file extension instead of .txt. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 New: Download the Installer Maker Plugin 1.6 for LiveCode here http://qery.us/ce On 21 jul 2011, at 11:50, martin meili wrote: Hi How can I avoid loosing the formatting of a text, if I save this text to a file?

Re: Lion Xcode 3.2.6
Hi, It is possible to use mutliple versions of XCode next to each other, but XCode seems to stop working at some point, while you keep upgrading to newer system versions. You should be able to install multiple SDK's though. If you're lucky, you're only missing an older SDK and will be able to use LC for iOS again after installing that SDK. I think there are a few support documents on Apple's site about it.

Hi Gerry, Usually, that error appears if you haven't selected a platform in the standalone builder. It probably means that XCode isn't even involved yet.

Re: [ANN] New plugin AAG|Workspaces
Those were all done by the same person, Jerry Daniels (one of the best coders I've seen) but they are not the same. GLX2 is one thing and tRev/Remo is another. GLX2 is now an open source project and Mark Wieder is at the helm.

Re: Mac OS X Lion
I guess it's a question of ROI much more then off a decision on a concise ruleset about what and what not to support. So the basic native controls on the other hand have always been supported, even though sometimes they where broken for short times when a new OS was freshly released. More.. arcane controls like the small edit dot or drawers on the other hand have always been second hand citizens. and therefore have been either partly or not at all or very late after their appearance become implemented. For example, As far as I know RunRev was committed to allow us the creation of mac apps that are apple store compatible. However, with the new signing requirement, this might have changed a bit. All we can do is to wait for a decision from them.

Setting a dirty flag for a file
I am using Rev. 4.0. How do you set a dirty flag for a data file that that has been saved but still open in your app stack? My app creates a data file that saves the contents of 16 fields. I have code to show an initial save dialog when the user makes changes. I want to use a dirty flag to show another save box only when closing the file if the user makes subsequent changes in the data file. Otherwise when the user closes the data file without additional change no save dialog will be presented. Thanks for your time!

You can use a custom property for that, setting it to true whenever a closeField triggers, and clearing it on save. But better still would be to use the modifiedMark property of the stack, which has the additional benefit of indicating unsaved changes by darkening the closeBox on OS X.

Usually, I generate an md5Digest and save that: on closeField makeDigest end closeField on makeDigest put empty into myDigest repeat with x = 1 to number of fields put md5Digest(fld x myDigest) into myDigest end repeat set the cDigest of this stack to myDigest end makeDigest function dataChanged put empty into myDigest repeat with x = 1 to number of fields put md5Digest(fld x myDigest) into myDigest end repeat return (the cDigest of this stack is myDigest) end dataChanged You just will have to figure out what is a smart event to check the digest: closing a field, closing a window, opening a window, refreshing the file menu, etc. When you close the window, you might want to do this: on closeStackRequest if dataChanged then answer Do you want? with Don't Save or OK or No if it containt Don't then exit closeStackRequest else if it is No then pass closeStackRequest else // do your saving stuff here // return true if the file was saved if the result is true then pass closeStackRequest end if end if end if end closeStackRequest -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 New: Download the Installer Maker Plugin 1.6 for LiveCode here http://qery.us/ce On 21 jul 2011, at 21:35, Charles Szasz wrote: Devin and Mark, Thanks for your suggestions!

OT: It's Android Jim, but not as we know it (what CPUs does Livecode compile to?)
Hi folks, This is a question for those of you who have sallied forth into the world of Android development (or, who have at least considered it). When Livecode creates an app for Android deployment, what CPU architecture does Livecode compile for? My reason for asking is that I like the look of the Asus Transformer. It is an Android tablet that docks into a keyboard. But the processor is the Tegra. I'm guessing that Livecode will not be compiling apps for such an unusual processor. Assuming that Android (ultimately) provides an OS that runs identically (let me dream) across different processor architectures, then it would be great to be able to actually run the IDE on a machine like the Transformer. From what I read, the Transformer is still a little imperfect (in terms of manufacturing quality, and pointer lag when docked into the keyboard). But it has only been around for a few months and shows great promise as a design. http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/18/asus-eee-pad-transformer-uk-edition-review/ http://thisismynext.com/2011/05/12/asus-eee-pad-transformer-tf101-review/#1_undefined,0_ As a tablet it is only marginally heavier than an iPad (about 10%). And as a tablet it has a supposed battery life of 8 hours, plus another 6 when docked to the keyboard (if fully charged on both battery packs, the usage times of both are combined to provide 14 hours or so). Being a dockable touchscreen, it has the benefits of mutliple input modes (I really can't be doing with more than minimal typing with an onscreen keyboard). I held a Transformer today, and it is pretty sweet (although I didn't get to touch the keyboard, as they were sold out). I wasn't very impressed by the quality of the early Asus EEE netbooks, but the Transformer felt like a quality product. The Acer AA1s were superior to the early Asus netbooks - for some months now I've been using a later Acer netbook for portable computing, and I've been surprisingly pleased with the form factor and the performance. Of course, I still find the Macbook Air a very, very seductive design, but Apple's attitudes have been fuelling a love/hate relationship for me for some years now. I guess I'm really hoping for too much to think that Livecode could run on a Tegra (I know the Linux IDE is only compiled for intel). Microsoft just about killed alternative operating systems on netbooks (as OEM installations), but it looks like Linux might rise again on these small laptops using Android. Certainly I've never seen an OEM install of linux on a netbook with the finesse of Android on the Asus Transformer, and I've never seen a netbook with the build quality of the Transformer tablet. And the Transformer (including the dockable keyboard) is about half the price of a Macbook Air. If the Transformer had access to the masses of apps found in a typical Linux distro AND had a Livecode IDE that was at parity with the IDE on Windows or OS X, I think I'd be in a very happy place technologically. The Wikipedia entry on the Tegra says that it is a system on a chip that incorporates an ARM processor, and that Ubuntu will run on it in addition to Android. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Tegra http://tegradeveloper.nvidia.com/tegra/forum/what-operating-systems-are-supported-tegra I think however, the idea of getting even a basic Livecode development platform running (e.g. one that ran within the scriptlimits inside an Android app) might be the most I could hope for. Still, I did not see myself developing apps for an Android mobile phone, but running Livecode apps on an Asus Transformer would be of interest to me.

Lion problem report and fix
Just wanted to let everyone know, Lion permissions default to not allowing Livecode to create folders in /Library/Application Support/ with the create folder command. Here's how we got around it: First, this put mkdir quote /Library/Application Support/theNewFolderWeNeed2create quote into tCmd get shell (tCmd) put it returns Permission denied. But this: put sudo mkdir -p quote /Library/Application Support/theNewFolderWeNeed2create quote into tCmd get shell (tCmd) creates the folder, and oddly, does not prompt for the password, at least in the IDE (haven't tried with a standalone yet). Then, this: put sudo chmod -Rfv 777 quote /Library/Application Support/theNewFolderWeNeed2create quote into tCmd get shell (tCmd) makes it so that folders and items can be freely created in the new folder by Livecode on Lion. So everything is back to normal a la the Leopards. Hope this helps someone out.

Hi, quote By default, the ~/Library folder is hidden in Lion. This is a big problem to many of the readers of this site, as many hints involve this folder (especially any involving hidden preferences). You can easily un-hide this folder for easy access. Simply run the following command in Terminal: chflags nohidden ~/Library If, for some reason, you want to re-hide it, you can run the same command using 'hidden' instead of 'nohidden'. You can actually use this command to hide or unhide any folder. Just put it's path in place of ~/Library. /quote source: http://qery.us/vf You can also press shift-command-G and type ~/Library to get access to the folder in the Finder. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 New: Download the Installer Maker Plugin 1.6 for LiveCode here http://qery.us/ce On 22 jul 2011, at 00:17, Marty Knapp wrote: Interestingly, the user's Library folder, and thus the Application Support folder is invisible on my Lion install.

Re: OT: It's Android Jim, but not as we know it (what CPUs does Livecode compile to?)
Since the Tegra has an ARM processor on the system chip, then it would seem to fundamentally be an ARM processor. It is a rather amazing ecosystem where linux/google/ARM/nvidia/asus combine to produce something like that, which was probably never envisaged by any of them 10 years ago. It does run things from the (or at least an) Android marketplace (I guess it might be configured to go to a processor-specific marketplace). Since I'm such a total noob in this particular area, I don't know the ins and outs. But certainly it lists top free apps and top paid apps that can be installed. If someone provides me with an identifiable free app from the Android Marketplace which was coded in Livecode, then I can go back to the store and see if I can find, install and run it.

The Multitude of LC web dev tools
So far, I've kept myself strictly to desktop apps but wanting to start working on web stuff now (and Android but that's a different email). I see many terms mentioned on this list about LC web tools and I'm not 100% sure as to exactly what they all do so I'm hoping I can get some guidance. Here's what I think everything is: On-Rev - a paid web hosting service from Revolution. For any web applications or just those developed with LC and if the latter, with what tools? revBrowser - a control you can place on a card and use as a web browser to any url you could reach with a standalone browser. revServer - a way to develop web server applications using a mixture of LC stacks and html revIgniter - a third part tool to help with web server development - is that any web server or does it have to be a Revolution based server? I also see reference to a way of running CGI scripts with an older version of Revolution on the web server. And then there's Rodeo although I haven't seen much mention of that recently and I don;t believe it involves LC scripts? How far off base am I with those descriptions? No doubt there's other tools out there as well. So, let's say I have an application in mind that a user will access from his/her favorite web browser either on a desktop or perhaps an Android device. On the server, I need to format pages of html to send to the user. and access data in an SQL database. Some of the pages will be static and others will change depending on database content. What are the recommended tools to achieve this?

Lion 'Gotcha' #1: Creating a Support Folder
put (specialFolderPath(asup) /Test) into tSupportFolder create folder tSupportFolder This works under Snow Leopard if you are a logged-in admin user without error, and it assigns the currently logged-in user as the owner of the folder. In Lion, you get a can't create that directory error in the result. The workaround is to prompt for a password via AppleScript: put do shell script quote mkdir ' tSupportFolder \ ' quote with administrator privileges into tScript do tScript as AppleScript if the result (quote quote) then -- report the AppleScript error end if Note that the resulting folder is owned by 'system' not the logged-in user, so you'll need to 'chmod' and 'chown' if you want to set the privileges back to what it was pre-Lion.

On-Rev is a hosting option which comes bundled with revServer (though you can run revServer on nearly any Linux host). revIgniter is a framework that uses revServer. So to build what you need with LiveCode you'd use revServer, and optionally revIgniter (a good choice for making short work of complex apps). -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com LiveCode Journal blog: http://LiveCodejournal.com/blog.irv ___ 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

Re: Lion problem report and fix
On the topic of where do we put stuff (needed support files) in OS X, I remember Ken Ray had a great article on this… we decided on / Library/Application Support/, it has been working great until yesterday :-) Best to just use the user's application support folder.. If I remember correctly, Apple will deny your Mac App from the store if you try to write to the system application support folder.. We are now changing on OS X so that support files will be downloaded and housed inside the Mac application package in the Applications directory.) Always a bad idea, and this will cause your app to get denied from the app store for sure.. While it is true that the majority of users are running as an admin account on their own single-user machine and you can get around the limitations imposed by Apple by running sudo commands, think about a corporate/educational/shared environment where your attempt to run sudo will fail, the elevated privs through AppleScript will fail (and even Rev's new elevated privs feature will fail)..

Re: Moving a folder
Never done it, but I imagine you could shell out to check the permissions of where you are moving to. I don't know if there is a shell command to check effective permissions of the current user. If there are, do that. Barring that, a safer way would be to copy the files, check to make sure there were no errors, if there are bail, if there are not then delete the original.

Re: Lion problem report and fix
To provide writable application files, one method I have used is to copy these writable files (from the executable) into the user's ~/Library/Application Support/ folder and then makes a note of this in the /Users/Shared folder so that an admin account doing an uninstall can look one place to see all the different user's Application Support folder(s) that have files needing deletion. Having the application do this saves the installer from needing to know about multiple accounts. And if more accounts are added that need to use the application the executable just creates a new set of files.

Re: Lion problem report and fix
Personally I think we may be jumping the gun on assuming Apple's intentions based on enhanced security on the /Library/Application Support folder. Yes, I got burned as well, but I *still* plan on writing all users support files in the /Library/Application Support folder, even if I have to go the extra mile to make it happen.

Re: Lion problem report and fix
Here is the info from Apple in regards to the changes talked about in this thread.. Folder Permissions and Ownership A number of folders in the System and Local file system domains now have different ownership and permissions. Specifically: • Many folders in the System domain that were previously owned by the admin group are now owned by the wheelgroup. • Permissions for the root directory (/) are now mode 755 (writable only by root) instead of mode 775 (writable by the admin group). • Permissions for /Applications/Utilities are now mode 755 (writable only by root) instead of mode 775 (writable by the admin group). • Permissions for /Library are now mode 755 (writable only by root) instead of mode 775 (writable by the admin group), no longer sticky. All subdirectories within /Library now have mode 755 (writable only by root) permissions instead of mode 775 (writable by the admin group) except: • /Library/Caches • /Library/Fonts • /Library/Java • /Library/QuickTimeStreaming • /Library/Receipts • /Library/Tomcat The subdirectories listed above have the same permissions as in previous versions of Mac OS X (usually mode 775, sometimes with the sticky bit set). • Permissions for /Network/Applications and /Network/Library are now mode 555 (unwritable even by root) instead of mode 755 (writable only by root). • Permissions for /var/log/DiagnosticMessages are slightly more lax, with mode 770 (writable by the admin group, unreadable by non-admin users) instead of mode 750 (writable only by root, unreadable by non- admin users). ___ 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
Re: Lion problem report and fix
For those that are submitting Rev apps to the Mac App store, this might be useful to you (and could also be good idea to follow for non- Mac App store downloads as well).. File-System Usage Requirements for the Mac App Store To promote a more consistent user experience, applications submitted to the Mac App Store must follow certain rules about where they write files. Users can be confused when applications cause unexpected side effects on the file system (for example, storing databases in the user’s Documents folder, storing files in the user’s Library folder that are not recognizably associated with your application, storing user data in the user’s Library folder, and so on). Your application must adhere to the following requirements: • You may use Apple frameworks such as User Defaults, Calendar Store, and Address Book that implicitly write to files in specific locations, including locations is not allowed to access directly. • Your application may write to temporary paths that you acquire using the appropriate Apple programming interfaces. • Your application may write to the following directories: • ~/Library/Application Support/app-identifier • ~/Library/app-identifier • ~/Library/Caches/app-identifier where app-identifier is your application's bundle identifier, its name, or your company’s name. This must exactly match what is in iTunes Connect for the application. Always use Apple programming interfaces such as the URLsForDirectory:inDomains: function to locate these paths rather than hardcoding them. For more information, see File System Programming Guide. • If your application manages libraries of pictures, music, or movies, the application may also write to the following directories: • ~/Pictures/app-identifier • ~/Music/app-identifier • ~/Movies/app-identifier • If the user explicitly chooses to save data in an alternate location (using a Save As dialog), your application may write to the chosen location. ___ 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
