Import SVG (was: Re: Print margins)
Thank you, Terence and Mark. It works fine when I print a card. But unfortunately I cannot get printMargins to work with revBrowserPrint.

First I did the page layout in HTML so I could use revBrowserPrint to print it. But to my amazement it didn't fill the whole A4 sheet. The layout was scaled down to 16 cm wide (instead of 21). So I did the math and scaled up the entire layout by 132%. I tried again: still 16 cm wide. I thought it might be a revBrowserPrint problem, so I printed a stack instead. What was supposed to be the top left corner was printed on a distance of 25,4 mm from the top and from the left of the paper (1 inch). I finally understood the weird scaling. Apparently every print from LC needs a margin of an inch, because 21 cm minus 2 inches is around 16 cm. I hope I'm wrong on this; I hope this can be adjusted and I like to know how. In my opinion, this margin is so wide that it looks quite silly. I understand that printers cannot use the outermost edges, but that should be around 4 mm, or 1 cm at most. Not an inch! How can I teach LC some sanity here? I would be fine with a margin of 1 cm on each side.

RELEASE: LiveCode 6.7 DP1
Dear LiveCode User, We are pleased to announce the preview release of LiveCode 6.7.0 DP1. The primary focus of this release is cocoa support. This required us to re-port LiveCode to the newer Mac platform API's (cocoa). As a result, there may be some instabilities on Mac OS. Once again, thanks to those who helped with alpha testing to iron out the major bugs. 6.7 has now passed all automated tests and a first pass community test. We are aware of a sporadic crash related to audio which we've been unable to replicate or trace. *THERE ARE INSTABILITIES IN THIS RELEASE* so please take care to use backups of your stacks when testing. *Release Contents* - Cocoa Support - New revBrowser WebKit external (Windows, Mac) with new bi-direction javascript to LiveCode communication. - Mobile In-App Purchasing support extended to Amazon * and Samsung stores - Clipboard data 'styledText' array accessor - OS 10.5 (Leopard) Support dropped - 4 bug fixes: - 11975 - import snapshot from rect ... only imports part of the screen on Windows - 11946 - iOS 7.1 Simulator doesn't remember device type when launching using 'Test' - 11917 - Setting the label of an option or combo-box does not update the menuHistory. - 11808 - pixelScaling not enabled on Windows Commercial edition * Our in-app purchasing implementation for the Amazon AppStore is unfortunately restricted to commercial license holders only. This is due to the Amazon PML license being incompatible with the GPL. If you wish to use the Amazon in-app purchasing features of LiveCode you will need to be a valid commercial licence holder. For full details of features and fixes please see the release notes: http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/6_7_0/LiveCodeNotes-6_7_0_dp_1.pdf *Known Issues* - We are yet to implement an AVFoundation version of the player object and switch the engine to weak link to Quicktime. This is expected for DP2. - Performance on High DPI system slow from 6.6 onwards. Our head of technology posted about this on our blog last week. We plan to refine his prototype and include during the 6.7 cycle. For those of you who missed the post you can read it here: http://livecode.com/blog/2014/03/18/hi-speed-hidpi/. - Sporadic crash related to audio (not reproducible at present). - Field navigation with arrow keys in WebKit browser input fields. http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12047. *Testing* As always we appreciate very much all those who help us refine these early releases. 1. If you are a browser object user, we would appreciate you testing your projects with the new revBrowser external. You can create both old and new WebKit browser instances. Please see the release notes for details of how to create the WebKit variant. The original revBrowser object remains unchanged. 2. If you are a mac users please test all your projects by opening them and seeing how they behave in the new windowing system. Your apps will now be rendering entirely in the cocoa windowing framework so you'll notice subtle differences. 3. If you have a mobile app that uses in-app purchases please see the release notes for details of the new in-app API. You will need to make some minor changes to your projects to ensure that your in-app purchases remain functional with LiveCode 6.7. The new API is cleaner and simpler as well as supporting the two additional stores and subscriptions. *Reporting Bugs* If you encounter an issue with this release please submit a bug report to our quality centre: http://quality.runrev.com/enter_bug.cgi *Get the release* To upgrade to this release please select check for updates from the help menu in LiveCode or download the installers directly at: http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/ *Resources* For lessons related to the new in-app purchasing api please see: http://lessons.runrev.com/m/19606 *Future Release* - We plan to put out a 6.6 RC1 maintenance release on Monday with fixes to the stabilities issues in that build. - We also plan to put out a 7.0 DP2 build on Thursday which addresses many of the issues report as well as optimisations to improve performance.

Re: new at size clause in export snapshot
Hi Chris, It turns out to be a difference between the syntax as described in the dictionary, and the actual parser implementation. The MCExport::parse method in cmdsf.cpp is written such that the 'at size' clause needs to come after the 'from' clause and before the 'to' clause. A quick test showed that the following variant compiles and works: ## export snapshot from tObj at size tWidth, tHeight to tData as PNG ## In other words, you should go to the Quality Center and file a report. RunRev needs to either update the dictionary or the parser code :-) HTH, Jan Schenkel. = Quartam Reports PDF Library for LiveCode www.quartam.com = As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time.

Re: debugger gone wild in 6.6
Thank you Jacqueline. As I said, if I shut down LC and restart, then it behaves properly. So apparently, I did something within LC to cause the weird behavior - and since you don't do the incorrect things that I do, you haven't seen it ever happen. But it happens to me quite often. Sadly, I don't know what sequence of events leads to the weird behavior and therefore cannot post a bug report. Any other suggestions? - Original Message - From: J.

I also use the keyboard shortcuts to access card and stack scripts, and the cmd-option-click-a-control method on the card itself. The default alternate method in the app browser is to command-double-click, but I never use that (I always forget it's there.) Maybe you do that? Or something else? Another thing that occured to me is that the control may be in a nested group, which might cause confusion. But I just tested that using both the command-doubleclick method and the contextual menu, and I got the right script. Since we've now heard from two people who've seen the problem, it seems logical that a particular way of opening the editor is causing it, or else a particular structure in the controls.

Sending mail (invisibly) from inside a Mac LC app
I have a Mac-only LC program that runs invisibly in the background. This is used in a corporate environment, so the actual user of the Mac computer will not likely even know it is running. It is designed to collect certain data and send it to management. I have not yet found a reliable way for the program to send an email to admin. This has to be done invisibly, so revmail is not an option. I tried both Shao Shen's libSMTP and Sarah's SMTPlibrary, but haven't had much success configuring the SMTP server information so that it will reliably send an email. I can get these to work with some SMTP server data (like GoDaddy), but often times, with a given clients mail server, neither of these programs will send an email. They just generate errors (like badconnect) as soon as SEND is pressed... even though I know the SMTP server data is correct. I thought about using the built-in OSX sendemail command from a Shell script, but I have read that that command will often not work on a given Mac unless the Mac has been set up to allow it to work. Not sure what is involved to make this command work. There must be some reliable way to (invisibly) send an email from a LC program running under OS X. Any suggestions?

RE: Sending mail (invisibly) from inside a Mac LC app
Let me get this straight...

Hugh, This is for a corporate application. The owners of the business will install and control this app. The data it is reporting only has to do with the health of the Mac it is running on.

A quick test showed that the following variant compiles and works: ## export snapshot from tObj at size tWidth, tHeight to tData as PNG ## In other words, you should go to the Quality Center and file a report.

Re: new at size clause in export snapshot
That's odd, I tested it earlier on a Windows machine, and again just now on a Mac, with LC 6.6 Here's my recipe: - create a new stack - drag an image and a button on it - set the button script to: ## on mouseUp local tObj, tData, tHeight, tWidth put the long id of me into tObj put 4 * the height of tObj into tHeight put 4 * the width of tObj into tWidth export snapshot from tObj at size tWidth, tHeight to tData as PNG put tData into image 1 end mouseUp ## Click on the button and the image gets set without any issues.

Richard, We as developer are always open to various viewpoints. Here is the solution I had implemented long time back on similar lines at a fortune 10 company (without LC) but should do the job to your expectation: -Have an additional database server (mysql/oracle) in your corporate env. -send the message userid/machineid as record to that server. -write the email code for on-insert (or post insert) trigger based on your need. - on-insert trigger, if you want to store all messages for user/machine/error analysis later - post-insert trigger, if you do not want to store these messages on the server and delete them after sending the email.

Re: Sending mail (invisibly) from inside a Mac LC app
I data collect on an internal app used in my business. I have a web server with a web page that logs all connections to it. The user app will POST to the server and that data goes into the log. I can review the logs and do stats on the app usage and such. Since it is all internal users, they all have access to that server. The fun thing is that the logs get rolled so that it’s only the last some number of days that is stored in the logs. If I never need to look at the data, the files stay a fixed size.

Is this normal? If it is, how do I get that banner displayed? iMessage would be the example. You are in a different message and new one comes in. It displays in a banner. If it's not normal, then I'll go back and check in older versions to see where it breaks. Thanks!

Re: Sending mail (invisibly) from inside a Mac LC app
Richard, I implemented a php script to send mail to me, with some diagnostic information, when my Director program threw a script error. I am not at my desktop, so can't tell you the exact way to find it, but I am sure you can google it. You just post your message and destination to the php script, and the email gets sent.

Re: multi-line constants? (for RSA keys)
Not if the custom prop is in the mainstack of a compiled application. It is my understanding (somewhat limited I admit) that any code you do not want others to have access to should be put in the mainstack of a compiled application. If you have any substacks they will of course be accessible by anyone with a little know how.

Re: Sending mail (invisibly) from inside a Mac LC app
What he said - only I'd run a LC Server script instead of a PHP script :-) You could even run that LCServer script on your own site, as a service for all the different businesses that will use the program, and thus simplify setup for them. -- Alex.

Re: 7.0 Issues
Not sure about the inserting of pages, but you can store and “reassemble” a pdf by opening it as read binary, reading it into a variable, then saving the variable either as a property or stored in a database, or even encrypted in a file on the HD. (Not sure what the app would be for that…) I’ve often thought of storing my PDF forms in a database this way instead of on the HD.

Re: Sending mail (invisibly) from inside a Mac LC app
If I understand what you are saying, you are suggesting that my LC app send out the results of its search to a central server, which then handles the emailing. This is what I wanted to do originally, and how I first developed this app. What I have since been told by one client (who has about 100 Mac's) is that at their level of corporate business, they don't want any information leaving their network. Everything needs to be kept contained within their business. They have told me that this will generally be the case for many corporate clients of their size and larger. The ideal way seems to be to have the app generate the email itself, using the SMTP parameters from the corporate mail server. Or by taking advantage of something like the sendemail command. Thanks for your suggestion Mark. Did I misunderstand what you suggested? Richard On 3/28/14 6:07 PM, Mark Talluto wrote: Richard, I understand the need to develop this type of application.

Re: Sending mail (invisibly) from inside a Mac LC app
This solution looks promising. Used the following as an applescript.
Worked perfectly. Just requires that each Mac have a working version of
Mail installed.
-
set recipientName to Richard
set recipientAddress to rdmil...@together.net
set theSubject to Type your subject here!
set theContent to Type your message content here!
tell application Mail
##Create the message
set theMessage to make new outgoing message with properties
{subject:theSubject, content:theContent, visible:true}
##Set a recipient
tell theMessage
make new to recipient with properties
{name:recipientName, address:recipientAddress}
##Send the Message
send
end tell
end tell

Thanks for your suggestion Mark. Did I misunderstand what you suggested? Richard If the intranet is set up such that the emails can be obtained on the local network then, you can meet the requirements of IT by posting your data to an ip # on your company network. You simply need to have PHP and a working email system installed on the receiving server/computer. Alternatively, a database set up on a local server will also work. I think the PHP solution my be easier. I would show them the code I posted for you and have them give it a try. We have found the solution to be very robust.

Dialog freezes app on Windows after sleep
My app puts up a dialog if the user has been idle too long. I've received a report that on Windows, if the computer goes to sleep while the dialog is displayed, it is impossible to click any of the buttons when the machine wakes up, and the only way out is to force-quit the app. Has anyone dealt with this before? I can think of other ways to implement what we need, but am curious if there is a way to avoid the freeze-up. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ 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

We've only tested on one machine running Windows 8, but the client says it has happened many times on that computer. I could put up a separate stack instead but it's easier to just use the dialog. I don't have Windows 8 here to try it on but if anyone else wants to test, I'd love to hear what happens. Just type ask password hello in the message box and walk away until the computer sleeps. Then see what happens. We're using LiveCode 6.6, btw. Hm...just happened to think, there was that freeze on Windows in 6.6 that got fixed in 6.7. I wonder if that's it. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ 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
