program crash on export snapshot
Hi all, I have a customer with a MacBook Pro, OSX 10.6.8, where my program crashes when creating a snapshot from a video. The same program runs fine at all other customers, so I think it has to be something on this specific Mac. I couldn't debug it at the customer, but I assume the relevant two statements (everything else is standard internal LC handling), which could cause the crash are: set the alwaysBuffer of player myPlayer to true export snapshot from rect tRect to tScreenshot as PNG Does perhaps anybody has experienced crashes related to these statements? I am not very experienced in debugging Macs, can anybody give me a hint where and what to look for?

Re: iPad retina weirdness???
And else, did you take care to rezise all the possible groups containing controls in your app ? Le 25 oct. 2012 à 23:54, Lars Brehmer a écrit : So, after Colin and others solved my iOS simulator problem a few weeks ago, I have now tried to sideload the app into my iPad and take a look. The stacks are, at least I believe, the correct size for the retina display, accounting for the status bar, and are 1536 X 2008. All of the graphics were made accordingly. So I compiled the iOS standalone, put it into iTunes and synced with the iPad. The icon showed and was perfect, the app launched but only the upper left portion was visible! The good news is that the buttons in that portion of the interface seemed to work ok, but again, just a quarter of the interface is visible. In the standalone settings for iOS I saw nothing referring to the display resolution, so I can't fix it. Could it be that liveCode 5.5.2 doesn't support retina display? I upgraded from rev 2.8 to live code to livecode 5.5.2 in one leap just a few weeks ago, so I am not all that familiar with it, as much as I love using it! Or am I missing something simple again??

OK, two basic iOS questions (formerly iPad retina weirdness)
Sorry if anybody reacted to this! I finally found the iphoneUseDeviceResolution true function, and now it looks just like I meant it to look! But the fact that I asked really underscores how behind I am on the learning curve of using liveCode for iDevices! So my app looks very nice indeed, but two very basic problems with the functionality popped up. First: I assumed that scrolling text fields were somehow handled automatically in iOS, that is a flick of the finger scrolls the field. I guess you all know that this is not the case! I have a scrolling list field which when the desired line is reached, mouseUp on it performs the desired operation. I found the iosScroller keyword and the BeginDecelerate and EndDecelerate, but unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to implement them! A little help here? The second one also involves a bad guess about what iOS automaticaly does. This one involves the keyboard. In iOS when you tap a field it appears. But in every app I have ever seen if the active field is at the bottom of the app, the entire app slides up, so the keyboard does not prevent you from seeing what you are typing. But it's not automatic. Does anyone know how to do this? I am astonished at how fantastic liveCode works with iOS and was amazed to see that almost everything works smoothly on the first try, even for someone with my limited skills! But htese two very basic things are crucial, so I am looking for tips!

Retina scale factor versus display metrics
I don't have any Android devices to test with and I am wondering how to deal with Retina scale factor versus display metrics for Android development. I thought that display metrics where just the categories that different physically sized Android devices fit into and not the actual doubling of pixels like with retina displays. I thought I heard of other phones that have retina like displays at different scales (1.5) I believe but this display metric seems different than that. Also, what does the Display Metrics return? The docs mention absolutely nothing. I looked Display Metrics up on the internet and got all kinds of different approaches and results for this like DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_LOW and ldli and display independent pixels versus actual pixels and in Livecode we have one logical 'point' mapped to two physical 'pixels' which don't reference dpi at all. The best I found is this: DisplayMetrics.density is the logical density of the display, i.e. a value of 0.75 (ldpi), 1.0 (mdpi), 1.5 (hdpi) or 2.0 (xhdpi). Multiply this value by 160 to get the screen density expressed as dots-per-inch, i.e. a value of 120 (ldpi), 160 (mdpi), 240 (hdpi) or 320 (xhdpi). But this can't be used as a multiplier of pixels like the retina result, or can it? And if so, are there really that many retina/pixel doubled displays out there? I double the size of my standard livecode controls to get a retina pixel so should I be multiplying the density result to get a true scale for standard livecode controls? Is this the size and width, height of a device or the virtual screen size of a devices retina or not screen?

Re: Option Button in a Datagrid
Hi Glen, I don't recall seeing that behavior but it's been quite a while since I was working on this issue. In fact, I came across it when working on my SQLiteAdmin program which I believe you have. You might want to check out how it behaves. Go to the Browse screen, select a table, then select New Filter from the filter menu. In the lower of the two datagrids, there is a column named Operator with an option menu in it. Play around with that and let me know if it behaves in the same way as your datagrid column. If it doesn't show the problem you're having, I'll take a look at the code and see if I can spot anything.

The only side effect is that after making a selection from an option box is that the hilite of the box remains ie the option box has a white background -- user makes selection -- the background color of the box remains hilited (in my case a dark blue) where as it should return to white. After playing with three rows with option buttons I find that sometimes a button will go back to a white background but it is not consistently reproducible. Have you seen this before? It happens in either case if the line is the current line or when the line is not the current line. At least for now it is functional next is to get a consistent look. thanks, Glen On Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 9:12 PM, Peter Haworth p...@lcsql.com wrote: Hi Glen, Are you on Windows? IF so, I ran into this a few months back. I filed bug report# 9993 about it and got the following reply from the QCC: Having had a look at your project, I think I've spotted the issue. It appears to be that the dataGrid property dgProp[hilited text color] is setting the foreground color of your dropDown menu to white, causing unhighlighted options to blend into the background. Either set the property to a different color or edit the setprop dgHilite handler in the columns behavior. Here's what I did to fix it. Check the Datagrid manual for how to set up a column behavior script for your option menu columns. When you've done that, find the setprop dgHilite handler and change it so only the set the foregroundcolor of me to empty line is in there, in other words get rid of the if statement. That fixed it for me, hope it works for you.

Re: Retina scale factor versus display metrics
Richard, Thanks for the reply. But that does not really answer the question of wether the new mobilePixelDensity is actually based on pixel doubling (halving, tripling, whatever) or just of categorized screen sizes as my searches on the internet seems to be saying. In other words is the new mobilePixelDensity a true actual density of the screen or just a trick to group different sized screens into manageable groups and figure out a 'rough' screen percentage using DPI? Also, on Android does this return Denisty_Low or ldli or does it return 0.75 ?

Re: Script problem
Dick, As far as I can tell, the problem had to do with other marked cards that had checkboxes despite not having a custom property. When I initially tested my code with a sample stack, all of the cards were marked and had checkboxes with custom properties. In my actual project, there were marked cards but some of the cards did not have checkboxes with custom properties. When I added a little bit more code to catch my empty custom properties, my code was working again without the insertion of five blank lines. Despite Therry's code to identify checkboxes that had my custom property, I had cards identified as having checkboxes with custom properties when there were none on the cards. Again, I checked all of my checkboxes several times and could not find any with blank strings for custom properties.

The thing is, even the original very short files played in the IDE so that may not be what's wrong here. But you could try editing the files in a sound editor if nothing else works.
