Re: Sqlite and performances in LiveCode
I think the acid test here is to use sqlite3 vs Livecode, since sqlite3 is the official command line tool for sqlite and likely to be more efficient than any other browsing tool. I tested a select * from a table with about 48,000 records in it, using a datagrid versus an LC screen that invoked sqlite3, passing it all the necessary parameters, reading the output and displayed it in a scrolling field. I did not do any coded timings but retrieving and displaying the records in an LC datagrid took around 3-4 times longer than in sqlite3. The datagrid was using the dgNumberOfRecords/GetDataForLine techniques outlined in the datagrid manual and there was no data formatting involved. The crazy thing about this is that, using those techniques, I believe the datagrid loads only enough database rows to fill the number of rows that are visible in the datagrid, adding more rows as the user scrolls. So the comparison is really between selecting and displaying all 48,000 rows in sqlite3 vs selecting 48,000 rows and displaying only 11 rows (the number of rows in my datagrid). It's pretty clear that using a datagrid to display large datasets is not a good idea if you want to maximize performance unless you really need the the functionality that a datagrid provides. On the other hand, the original post seemed to indicate that, even though the elapsed time using a datagrid was several times longer than the SQLabs tool, it was still less than a second. While it's interesting to figure out why that should be, I'd guess that a response time of less than a second is acceptable from a user's perspective.

Re: Sqlite and performances in LiveCode
No, it's not the same one. Looking at the SQLabs site, SQLabs "developed from scratch a brand new ListBox that is able to display an infinite number of rows and columns in just few milliseconds. This is a fundamental base control for the app." They've been optemising their product since 2003, it would be surprising if you can match them on your first try. I did a few tests with FireFox's SQLite Manager and for 50,000 records (11MB) it took 504ms to display in a field that could display ALL records. Testing with LC I could extract the same records in 409ms but to display them all in a field took it out to 917ms. By reducing the number of records displayed to the size of the field, it took 410ms. Clearly LC fields are the limiting factor here. I then noticed that in FireFox, although all the rows could be scrolled down to the bottom, the columns were all truncated. So I then changed my LC field to a 'Basic table object', set the 'Maximum editable columns' to match exactly the number of columns I had, and then set the tab stops so only a small portion of data of each column was displayed - similar to how FireFox truncated it's columns. In this way I was able to display ALL the rows in 491 ms. This may not be as fast as SQLabs, but I think they maybe the speed kings. Compared to another SQLite tool I was able to get LC to perform just as fast, if not a little faster.

Re: "can't find handler" error in script that worked before
Thanks, Kay. This was running in the IDE. I tried starting the IDE, then
opening the stack. Still didn't work OK.
Then I tried saving as a standalone and that revealed the apparent problem,
which was two lines of code in another handler in the stack script. This
handler also ran OK previously under RunRev.
The two lines were these; not contiguous in the script.
put "; . {}" into findString
put "; . {w, w, w}" into findString
Seems the compiler didn't like the semi-colons (keyword) at the front of the
literal.
FYI, two interesting things about this:
1) there were other put commands in the script in which a semi-colon led a
literal, and they compiled OK.
2) Eventually, simply retyping the lines solved the problem.

Hi All, I found a /hugely/ useful error message just now. My app is called "WriteOn.app", at least for the moment. Hi All, I'm hoping someone can help. I called 'create folder' with the path to my app on my iPad: /var/mobile/Applications/706ECCCF-DC1D-42F1-B71E-F3D96610DAEF/WriteOn.app/Downloaded The error in 'the result' is "can't create that directory". Just lovely. Might as well put the "engine" light on my iPad. It would tell me as much. Can anyone shed a tiny bit more light on that error message? It /shouldn't/ be permissions, because it's within my app's sandbox. It can't be space, as I've got 2.4GB remaining. It shouldn't be rights, as the standalone downloads to the iPad just fine and is attempting to run when this error happens. I don't have AFAICT any other app using the same signature (but that shouldn't matter anyway, should it)? Are there any other reasons why one can't create a folder on iOS from within LiveCode?

Re: Enlarge with sample
See 'resizeable' in the dictionary for a full explanation, you can set the property in any script, (preOpenStack makes sense) with… set the resizable of this stack to true …or use the checkbox in the 'size & position' pane of the stack inspector. Whichever setting you use for the stack should translate to the standalone, you should see the same re-size handle in the lower right corner on a Mac or see the same re-size cursors when you mouse over the window extremities on Windows. If it's not working for you, check that you have the Geometry script library included or use the automatic search for required inclusions under File > Standalone Application Settings. I'm not sure that the Geometry script library affects the standalone window re-sizeing, but it certainly affects the controls on the cards.

Re: Spinning object animation
The frames of the vase are in the opposite order of the globe. Rearrange the frames in the opposite order (I did it in GIMP in < 1 minute). For the vase, frame 2 becomes frame 12, frame 3 becomes 11, 4->10, 5->9, 6->8. It's just swapping the two frames. Also, the movement felt wrong to me. If you started moving towards the right, but now are moving back towards the left, shouldn't the item you appear to have grabbed also be moving towards the left? Something like this: on mouseMove x,y if tMouse = 1 then put trunc((tLoc-x)/5) into tDiff put (tImageFrame + tDiff) mod (the framecount of img 1) \ into tCFrame if tCFrame<0 then add the framecount of img 1 to tCFrame end if set the currentframe of img 1 to tCFrame end if end mouseMove -Ken ___ 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: Sqlite and performances in LiveCode
I don't know if SQLiteManager for Firefox is the same one I use (from SQLabs) but it display all the records in one time (I can scroll all the list). But thank you for the suggestion, If necessary I'm going to display only a part of the records with a next button, even if I don't like very much this approach.

Re: Sqlite and performances in LiveCode
No, in LiveCode, it takes 138 milliseconds more to display the result. In SQLiteManager, I don't now how many time it takes to display the result. But visually, it takes about 1 second to query and display the records in LiveCode and it is nearly instantaneous in SQLiteManager.

Enlarge with sample
Almost every day I get these marvellous e-mail messages from well-wishers that spur me onto new ideas with Livecode! Well, for want of anything else to do, I have been trying to enlarge . . . . . . a standalone, after it has been built as a standalone: While a stack is a stack one can drag the lower-right-hand corner if resizeable is set to true, and the stack will resize. Now, at the risk of looking very inexperienced, how can one set a standalone so the end-user can resize that stack? ___ 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
