Re: LiveCode Server Turned To Molasses

Hi Scott

One thing to check is if the machine has lots of "zombie" LiveCode processes 
just in case LiveCode is not terminating correctly.

Regards

Peter

Hi Peter:

How is this check done?  The installation of LCserver is on a commercial
host.

And what would be the process to enable LC to terminate properly?

Thanks for your help.

Re: LiveCode Server Turned To Molasses

2014-04-23 Thread Scott Rossi
Well, after contacting DreamHost, the support dude said there were some
hung processes on the server and that they would reset it (he thought they
were PHP processes but wasn't sure).  Doing so fixed the problem, but I'm
worried something in my scripts or my setup contributed to the problem.
We'll see.

Richard,

What you say is obviously true, there is no ultimate guarantee from
checksums.

The checksum is not useless though. It gives pretty good confidence that
the file didn't get altered in transit, whether by a network error, a
disk writing error, or by the intervention of a malcious actor as MITM
replacing the requested file with a doctored version of their own. It
may not provide ultimate trust but is better than no checks at all.

Some places sign their downloads with PGP, which in theory gives a
stronger guarantee of authenticity. However I think there are similar
issues with that. To verify it, you must install the public key of the
signer and assert (but on what basis?) that it is strongly trusted. Here
too, if the malicious actor can subvert both the download file and the
public key, the method fails. Most downloaders don't know anything about
the signer or have prior knowledge of his/her public key and may not see
anything amiss if they are somehow subverted.

It gets better I suppose once you have had a trusted key in your keyring
for a while and it has a good track record of vouching for software that
you have confidence in. However, if the key that you originally
installed and more or less blindly trusted was actually a fraud, then
you are in trouble.

globalLoc returns wrong values!

2014-04-23 Thread Tiemo Hollmann TB
Hi,

With LC 6.5.2 on Windows 7 I am taking a screenshot from a rect like this:

   put globalLoc (the topleft of image "Image") into tTopLeft

   put globalLoc (the bottomright of image "Image") into tBotRight

   put tTopLeft & "," & tBotRight into tRectSnap

   export snapshot from rect tRectSnap to tScreenshot as PNG

This works fine, beside when the user changes the textsize to 150% in his
display settings. Then the snapshot rect is shifted and the user gets wrong
content in his snapshot.

 

Has anybody stumpled upon this issue yet and has found a workaround for
this? Perhaps checking a windows system setting and recalculating the rect?

 

I know, you can change the textsize on mac too, but that's really only the
TEXT size and that doesn't bother my LC program. On windows this option is
actually not only the text size, but the whole screen is resized. Is there
something similar on Mac, what could cause a similar problem, what I didn't
find yet?

 

Thanks for any ideas

 

Tiemo

Re: Installer Maker Spring Offer

2014-04-23 Thread Mark Schonewille

Hello,

Today is the last day when you can take advantage of the Installer Maker 
Spring Offer. We are offering everyone who bought a license in the past 
a one-time opportunity to upgrade this license at the upgrade price of € 
16,95, even if your license has expired.


Is your license over a year old? For a limited time, you can now upgrade 
your license to the latest version for only € 16,95 instead of the 
normal price of € 39,00. This offer is available until Wednesday 23rd 
April 2014.


Installer Maker

Installer Maker is a simple tool to create installers for Windows and 
Mac OS X. Installer Maker comes in two editions: a LiveCode plug-in and 
a standalone. The plug-in can be used with the commercial edition of 
LiveCode only, while the standalone version can be used in combination 
with any edition of LiveCode , Revolution and MetaCard, as well as 
RealStudio/Xojo, SuperCard, Prezi, HyperStudio etc.


Upgrading

Normally, licenses cost 39 euro with free updates during the first 3 
months after purchase. Upgrades are available for € 16,95 during one 
year after purchase. Just for one week, we allow everyone to upgrade his 
or her license at the discounted upgrade price.


To get a new license, go to http://qery.us/49n (plug-in) or 
http://qery.us/49o (standalone) and enter your license key at the bottom 
of the page. The page will load again and if you scroll to the bottom of 
the page again, you will now be able to buy a new license at the 
discount price. From there, just follow PayPal's instructions. Shortly 
after purchase, you will first receive an auto-reply. Your license 
follows within 24 hours.


Why Upgrade?

Perhaps you didn't upgrade in the past, because you were missing some 
essential features? Download the Read Me file from http://qery.us/49m 
(PDF) and check out the history. You'll see that many features have been 
added during the past year. Go to http://qery.us/49n to download the 
plug-in or to http://qery.us/49o to download the standalone version.


Did you use the plug-in edition with a commercial version of LiveCode 
and are you moving to the open-source edition? Then download the 
standalone version. You can always switch from the plug-in edition and 
back or use them combined.

When the Windows system has scaling set to >= 150% then Windows is in
high-dpi mode. LiveCode 6.5.2 does not support this mode which is why you
see what you are seeing. LiveCode 6.6 does support high-dpi on the desktop
and should behave properly. 6.6 has some other issues with high-dpi (e.g.
text rendering and tooltips), however, and can't be used just yet. Watch
for the next 6.6.2 update and try that out.

How to open a stack at a custom position without flipping?

2014-04-23 Thread Tiemo Hollmann TB
Hello,

I would like to open my stack window at the last screen position. Therefore
I store the last position in a ini file, read it in preopenstack at set the
window to the last position in my preopenstack handler. This works so far,
but I have to gotchas.

1.   Though I set a screenlock at the beginning of preopenstack, the
main window with a white/default background opens first at "a standard
position" and flips afterwords to my wanted position. How can I force the
window to open directly at my ini position?

2.   Because there are some other inits in the preopen handler, it takes
about a second to open the first card with content. For this gap, between
opening the first window with the default background and showing my content,
I would like to show a splash screen, but all my attempts showing an image
in preopenstack or openstack or opencard  don't seem to work. The splash
image always shows up, when all other stuff also is ready.

Probably I only have the wrong sequence of statements, but what am I doing
wrong?

Thanks for any ideas

Tiemo

HTPPS problem with a web service

https://api.dreamhost.com/?key=6SHU5P2HLDAYECUM&cmd=user-list_users_no_pw&unique_id=4082432&format=perl


I've tried libUrlSetSSLVerificition false and made a stab at debugging it.

Re: LiveCode Server Turned To Molasses

2014-04-23 Thread Peter W A Wood
Hi Scott

Sorry that I didn't reply earlier, I had to go out after sending the message. 
The way to check which processes are running is to use the "ps" command. I'm 
pretty certain that on a shared host you'll only be able to see your own 
processes (but one of the Linux gurus should be able to confirm or deny that).

I ran this script on on-rev:

 

(Yes that is the whole script no HTML).

I got this output:

PID TTY TIME CMD 29690 ? 00:00:00 livecode-server 29694 ? 00:00:00 sh 29695 ? 
00:00:00 ps

Which would look like this with linefeeds:

PID TTY TIME CMD 
29690 ? 00:00:00 livecode-server
29694 ? 00:00:00 sh 
29695 ? 00:00:00 ps

As far as I understand the -aux option to ps should show all the processes 
running on the machine but as it is a shared host I only get to see my 
processes. The three processes listed are the livecode server, the shell and 
the ps command. Which looks fine. If there were any hung LiveCode processes 
they would show up in the list.

LiveCode might not terminate properly if a script crashes or goes into an 
infinite loop. All you can do is kill the process to clear it (and solve the 
bug so it doesn't happen again).

Hope this belatedly helps.

Regards

Peter

PS I saw from your later message that the problem was caused by another user 
and is now fixed.

Re: How to open a stack at a custom position without flipping?

2014-04-23 Thread Dave Kilroy
Hi Tiemo

For your first issue I would so something like "set the visible of me to
false" early on in your preOpenStack handler, and once you were sure
everything was in the right place do a "set the visible of me to true"

Regarding your second issue can you not populate your fields inside a
preOpenCard handler? If not then you could make another card containing your
splash image (or some other thing) the first card in your stack and then
have have something in your openCard handler to go to the second card after
a second or two...

Populating a DataGrid on a card problem

2014-04-23 Thread Mark Stuart
Hi all, 
This script: 
   set the dgText[false] of grp "dgVariables" of cd "Variables" to empty 

throws this error: 
 
Script compile error: 
Error description: round: bad parameter 
 

And this script throws the same error: 
   put false into HasHeaders 
   set the dgText[HasHeaders] of grp "dgVariables" of cd "Variables" to
tData 


At first run of the script it throws the error, but subsequent times running
it, it works. :(
What do I have wrong in the script?

[Enhancement Request] Open and BackUp in LiveCode DP and RC

2014-04-23 Thread Alejandro Tejada
Hi All,

Just added this enhancement request:

http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12279


Every announcement of a new LiveCode version includes this message:

WARNING: this is not a stable release. Please ensure you back up your stacks
before testing them.

RunRev could add the following functionality to the File menu in the IDE:

Open and Backup...

This single menu option will:
1) create a zipped or gzipped file of the selected stack and
2) open the stack

The name of every zipped or gzipped stack could include the seconds appended
to the filename.

Please, add your own comments, suggestions and ideas.
Thanks in advance!

Re: [Enhancement Request] Open and BackUp in LiveCode DP and RC

2014-04-23 Thread Richard Gaskin
Stacks can be opened many ways.  In most of my projects I only manually 
open one stack in the IDE, and the scripts in that stack may load as 
many as a dozen others.


To satisfy the request the engine would have to intercept all attempts 
to open stacks, or maybe just the save command, and then intervene based 
on the value of some flag.


Ouch.  Sounds like a lot of work for the team, and one more deep task 
for all of us to test.


Seems simpler to just make a copy of your work folder before using a 
pre-release build.  Leaving us in control is the surest way to protect 
all possible ways a stack file can be altered.

This custom file could provide to the custom player an encrypted

Then, a plug-in stack would do.

Does LiveCode includes the Engine version in each saved stack?

http://docs.runrev.com/Function/version
http://docs.runrev.com/Property/stackFileVersion

If this is true, then LiveCode could provide a warning
when developers open a stack created with a different
engine version and offers to create a backup.

Just a thought...

Not sure about that one; after all, unlike Hypercard (which had no SAVE 
menu item because every action

was saved as one went along), one can choose when to save stacks.

Might it not be better (???) to have either of these options instead:

1. AutoSave; set in the Preferences, could have times like Office suites.

2. SAVE AS with TIME MARKER.

Andre Garzia did a talk on it at runrev live last year didn't he? I
remember watching it and starting to reorganize one of my applications the

that can be separated into library stacks and use a pub-sub to lessen the
burden. It made a lot more sense as far as maintainability goes for me.

Re: Printing a RTF file saved as a custom properties of a stack

2014-04-23 Thread stephen barncard
Check out RTFText in the docs.

I assume you created the template in a livecode field obtained the RTFText
of the field into a variable, then set a custom prop to that data, right?

then just get the data from the custom property and set the RTFText of a
field to it.

Livecode now tracks RTF data created in Textedit pretty accurately. It
didn't used to work as well.

How about something like this:

on saveStackRequest
   put (the short name of this stack & the version) into NOM
   put NOM into fld "NOM"
   set the name of this stack to NOM
   pass saveStackRequest
end saveStackRequest

Certainly works for me.

Ok, I hope I've been understanding that your stumbling block was using RTF
text.

Or do you know how to handle RTFText and was it PRINTING that RTF code in
Livecode a problem?

Where do you put this handler?
In a frontscript or replacing the IDE original handler?

Using Profiles

2014-04-23 Thread Peter Haworth
I get the idea from the list archives that profiles are about at the same
level of reliability as the Geometry Manager but the posts are a couple of
years old or more so hoping things may have improved.

I set up a really simple test:

1. Created a label control with its contents set to "Red"

2. In the Property Inspector palette for the label, created a profile named
"prFrench"

3. Created a text property of prFrench with the value "Rouge".  It ended up
as an htmltext property which is strange - if you don't want me to use
"text" then don't include it in the dropdown list of properties.

4. In the message box: set the profile of selobj() to "prFrench".  Nothing
happened, the label still showed "Red" as its contents.

5. Tried the same thing in a preOpenCard handler, same result.

5. Clicked the prFrench profile in the Property Inspector palette and the
label changed to "Rouge".  Clicked the Master profile and it changed back
to "Red".

So maybe Profiles are still broken, or maybe I missed a step somewhere?

Aside from that, can Profiles handle unicode?

 Not much.

If a website is hacked then the file contents and posted checksum can be
changed and then, as you noted, the checksum is useless as a form of
security.

Checksums were originally intended for file integrity security for "man
in the middle" style hacks - where the file transfer was intercepted or
spoofed. The checksum served to provide a verification that the file
received, is in fact the file you requested and was not tampered with in
transmission. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_verification

Practically speaking, I think with all the exploits and vulnerabilities
(especially via social engineering, i.e. phishing, etc.), that gaining
access to a target server is potentially easier these days that
man-in-the-middle style attacks, so I think your are 100% correct in
questioning that checksums value is not what it once was.

Re: Printing a RTF file saved as a custom properties of a stack

2014-04-23 Thread Charles Szasz
Stephen,

I created a Rtf document using TextEdit and save it as a Rtf.  Then I 
successfully created a custom property and programmatically store the Rft as a 
custom property.  I then set up a field "import" in a new substack of my 
program. I then try the following script:

set the itemdelimiter to "/"
   put the uRtFile of stack “myProgram" into tRTFdata --> 7-1-11 Changed 
uRtFile from card index to stack!!
   
   
   open printing with dialog
   
   if the result = "cancel" then exit to top
   
   set the invisible of stack "printStack2" to true
   go to card "printCard" of stack "printStack2"
   
   set the RTFText of field "input" of card "printCard" of stack "printStack2" 
to the clipboardData["rtf"]
   
   
   put tRTFdata into field "input" of card "printCard" of stack "printStack2"
   
   print card "printCard" of stack "printStack2"
   
   close printing

In the print preview on my Mac, I can see the Rtf “coding” and not the nicely 
formatted text document I wanted.

playing an mp3 file

2014-04-23 Thread larry
I know I can play a .wav file without having to use a player.

But I want to play a .mp3 file and for that I think I have to use a player, 
right?

And if I do use a player to play an mp3 file, then build my app as a standalone 
for Windows, do I need to include anything in the app?  I mean, if the user 
doesn't have Quicktime, will they still be able to play the mp3 file?

Hello,

Today is the last day when you can take advantage of the Installer Maker
Spring Offer. We are offering everyone who bought a license in the past
a one-time opportunity to upgrade this license at the upgrade price of €
16,95, even if your license has expired.

Is your license over a year old? For a limited time, you can now upgrade
your license to the latest version for only € 16,95 instead of the
normal price of € 39,00. This offer is available until Wednesday 23rd
April 2014.

Installer Maker

Installer Maker is a simple tool to create installers for Windows and
Mac OS X. Installer Maker comes in two editions: a LiveCode plug-in and
a standalone. The plug-in can be used with the commercial edition of
LiveCode only, while the standalone version can be used in combination
with any edition of LiveCode , Revolution and MetaCard, as well as
RealStudio/Xojo, SuperCard, Prezi, HyperStudio etc.

Upgrading

Normally, licenses cost 39 euro with free updates during the first 3
months after purchase. Upgrades are available for € 16,95 during one
year after purchase. Just for one week, we allow everyone to upgrade his
or her license at the discounted upgrade price.

To get a new license, go to http://qery.us/49n (plug-in) or
http://qery.us/49o (standalone) and enter your license key at the bottom
of the page. The page will load again and if you scroll to the bottom of
the page again, you will now be able to buy a new license at the
discount price. From there, just follow PayPal's instructions. Shortly
after purchase, you will first receive an auto-reply. Your license
follows within 24 hours.

Why Upgrade?

Perhaps you didn't upgrade in the past, because you were missing some
essential features? Download the Read Me file from http://qery.us/49m
(PDF) and check out the history. You'll see that many features have been
added during the past year. Go to http://qery.us/49n to download the
plug-in or to http://qery.us/49o to download the standalone version.

Did you use the plug-in edition with a commercial version of LiveCode
and are you moving to the open-source edition? Then download the
standalone version. You can always switch from the plug-in edition and
back or use them combined.

I'm with Richard on this one. I have stacks I wont risk with anything other
than GM versions of LC. Those stacks I am willing to risk I simply
duplicate then start them up with an RC or DP version.

The problem I have is I occasionally accidentally start the wrong version
so I'm constantly needing to visit the About LiveCode to confirm which
version is open - because I can't read the splash screen fast enough or I
forgot to look at it properly.

Maybe a simpler solution and one that seems to already be partially in
place is just to change the colour of the splash screen (and Dock icon on
Mac). I believe it is blue for Commercial and Green for Community. Maybe
they could just include Orange for Release Candidate and Red for Developer
Preview. That way there'd be another clue (warning) that you are opening a
DP version of LC when you really meant to be opening a GM version.

With a file-format change happening, and two fronts of development, this is 
even more important.  

Maybe the mouse pointer can be red for dp and orange for rc.  Or it can speak 
“seven point zero” whenever I bring a window forward. 

Or a way to make version icons for aliases.

Re: Using Profiles

2014-04-23 Thread Guglielmo Braguglia

Hi to all,
sorry but ... I don't agree ...  :D :D :D

Living in Switzerland, I often need to write programs in our national 
languages (Italian French and German), plus, obviously, English and I 
have always used, not without some minor difficulties, especially with 
accented characters on different platforms, "profiles".


To solve these minor problems, where is possible, I have still used the 
"htmlText" and not the "text" ... because I see that "htmlText" is 
properly managed changing platform.  Unfortunately, not for all of the 
controls you can use "htmlText", some have only "text".


Normally I define 4 "profiles" ... prItalian, prFrench, prGerman and 
pgEnglish and, where is necessary, I set the "htmlText" of the control, 
for each one of the profiles, to the correct translation, then ... 
retrieved the user local language, I just do:


revSetStackProfile "<>", "<>"

... and all appear in the correct language  :)

Unfortunately ... you can't do that for each LiveCode object ...
... e.g. I have not found a simple way of doing this for the "DataGrid 
column labels" so ... after changing "profile" I'm obliged to do also:


set the dgProp["column labels"] ...

... for each DataGrid I have to translate the column labels ... but ok 
... Is not a big problem ;)


Hope this help,

Cordially,

Guglielmo

I have no idea what the clipboard has to do with what you wanted to do
here...

Anyway - this test should load an RTF file created by TextEdit and set the
RTFText  in the livecode field to look exactly like the TE document.

You need two fields,  Field1 and Field2 and a button with this script:

*global* gFile

*on* mouseUp

*if* the optionkey is down *then* *edit* script of me

*answer* file "get file" && gfile

*if* it is empty *then* *exit* to top

*put* it into gFile
