Re: Converting Python
I'm on Waddinghams side here. Do as other language is integrated with the alternateLanguages. If something isn't in the alternateLanguages, it does not belong into do as other language. So what you'd probably need to convince him (and me) of, is to find a reliable way to get available languages into the alternateLanguages, and then make the execution of the language work with do after that. So the real linux-related problems are therefore: 1. Is there any os-suplied way to query available scripting languages (excluding random executables that do not belong)? For example, simply dumping $path into alternateLanguages is probably too broad and unreliable. 2. Is there a way to run scripting languages without going trough a shell-like wrapper (because mark has said he wants it to work the same as on other platforms)? In the end, wouldn't your goal be easier achieved with a modified shell() function that allows to pass fields as if they're files (for multi-line scripts)?

PDF's to PNG's on Windows 8
Sorry to bring this topic back up again but it seems there's no solution for this. Installing QuickTime on Windows does not display PDF's in a player object. This is odd since this works wonderfully on a Mac. Yrying to display PDF's in a browser object opens Adobe's Reader which, in Windows' very blunt way, hogs the entire screen burdening the user with lots of work just to get back to LiveCode. Even if this worked I'm not sure how I'd determine the number of pages and move through them to get the snapshots. Quartam Software has a nice PDF package but it only does the opposite by creating PDF files in Livecode. So there's apparently no solution to this seemingly common need to be able to view and convert PDF files to single PNG's or JPEG's in Livecode.

A possible improvement of Livetalk
Hi list, In an old app I am modifying, I use several arrays and one of them is 2-dimensional, and I actually forgot that... So I kept trying put myArray[b] but it returned empty every time. I should have written put the keys of myArray[b] of course. So that made me think that it would be nice, like in php, that Livetalk would return Array in the 1st case...

XML Newbie Woes
I have been asked to do some work on some GPX files: these files originate from GPS devices, and are in XML format. I've never had to deal with XML before, so I have been trying to learn how to do so from the LC user manual - from about page 189. There is a sample XML file and a discussion of the various 'revXML' functions which are on offer. There are a few typos, but it doesn't **look** hard. (I don't have any other source of information since my crazy ISP has cut off my internet connection, and I am confined at present to emails sent received via a friend.) So far, so good: however, although I can create an XML tree and retrieve the Root Node as per the documentation, I can't make any of the other functions work on my data. I hope someone can explain the fundamentals of what I'm doing wrong. My GPX file begins like this: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? gpx xmlns=http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1; creator=Geolives version=1.1 xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance; xsi:schemaLocation=http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd; metadata / trk trkseg trkpt lat=42.78981 lon=1.336446 ele750.5912/ele /trkpt trkpt lat=42.78981 lon=1.336446 ele750.5912/ele /trkpt [etc etc etc] The file seems to be well-formed, apart from the fact that the first child node is found by revXML to be gpx/metadata, and I can't see the closure for the metadata tag at the other end of the document. In fact the document ends /gpxf I try to stick in /metadata before this last line, the LC function refuses to form the table, so the original file must be right. I don't understand this. Anyway, revXMLRootNode returns gpx (without the quotes) and revXMLFirstChild returns /gpx/metadata but after that nothing works. However closely I follow the example in the manual, I can't get the revXMLContents or revXMLNodeContents functions to return anything. For example (among many attempts), revXMLNodeContents(1,/gpx/metadata/trk/trkseg) returns xmlerr, can't find element I feel like I've tried everything, but it seems there's something basic I haven't grasped. XML seems like a simple idea, but in practice it's dreadfully easy to slip up. TIA for any advice, as long as it doesn't mean significant downloading.

In most distros you can easily set the executable bit by right-clicking the app and choosing Info or Properties (depending on the distro), then in the dialog that opens you'll see a checkbox for something like Run as Application or Executable.

Weird script problem where can I find a Livecode developer?
I have an interesting problem. But I must first say that I have often experienced a script that doesn't work properly at first but then after going through it once in debugging mode with no errors it subsequently DOES work without making any changes whatsoever. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but I have on numerous occasions. A little weird, but not horribly inconvenient. When a script doesn't work, I go through it line by line in debug mode (as anybody would) and then the script works in the IDE and standalone as long as there was no error in debug mode!?! Now I have a script that when it executes seems to lock the screen after one speceific line, so none of the visual changes after that point are shown, but the script runs to the end and then all the changes that happened invisibly are indeed there. What is especially interesting is that this is an iPad app, with two app stacks for the two screen different resolutions. All scripts are identical with the exception of location and size references of course. In this script there is no lock screen line. The regular resolution scripts all work perfectly, as do all of the retina display scripts with this single exception. I have gone through it several times in debug mode. If I put a breakpoint at the line where it seems to lock the screen and then go line by line it works with no errors. If I move the breakpoint a few lines down, it locks and the same line and stays locked until the new breakpoint, after which it works fine. But in regular mode the screen seems to lock at that same point and stays locked until the script ends. Then all the changes are there. I don't even know if this makes sense at all. Suggestions are indeed welcome! The regular resolution app is on my iPad Mini and the retina app is on my iPad 3. I use Livecode 5.5.1 on a previous generation iMac. Speaking of LiveCode 5.5.1 - I recall a post stating that iDevice apps made with 5.5.1 would automatically rejected. Is there a patch or fix for this? Besides that, I thought I remembered on an older version of the RunRev site a place where Runrev developers could make their paid services available and people like me needing help and are willing to pay for it could find them. Or am I imagining this? At any rate, I would like to pay a real LiveCode pro for a little help (in my estimation a few hours worth) with an iPad app. Where should I look for somebody?
