Re: The parlous state of Rounded Rectangular buttons - Found word(s) list error in the Text body
I don’t believe so, controls will still be emulated. Read this. http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=18504 Here is a reply to some questions I raised. The reply is from runrevmark. All the best Terry "Hopefully I can answer your questions... The 'port to Cocoa' is the transition of the engine from the old Carbon/Classic APIs to the Cocoa API. Graphics will still be done using our cross-platform graphics library and abstractions, and controls will still be emulated - the code we are replacing is the interface between the high-level control set the engine already has, and the platform-specific aspects such as window management and event handling. The main goal of the Cocoa port is three-fold: [list=] [*]To enable embedding of NSView's in LiveCode's windows (this is something you cannot do in the Carbon version - which is why revBrowser is an 'ugly hack' on Mac at the moment). [*]To enable submission of LiveCode apps to the Mac AppStore (there are certain elements of sandboxing which do not work if you try and use Carbon due to bugs in the OS - in particular file dialogs and menus). [*]To enable a 64-bit version of the engine (most Carbon APIs are unavailable in 64-bit). [/list] The first goal will be to get to (1) - i.e. we have an engine that works exactly as before, but uses Cocoa versions of windows, file dialogs, menus and event handling. At this point, it will be easy enough for externals to do what revBrowser now does in this version - embed an NSView inside a LiveCode window and have things work as expected. i.e. In the first instance, it should be more than feasible for externals to leverage native Cocoa controls. There is a little more work to do to get to (2) although the majority is covered by (1). As Apple now seem to be rejecting any apps using the QuickTime or QTKit frameworks in the Mac AppStore we need to add a version of the player which uses AVKit on 10.7+ and above. The internals of the player have already been abstracted as part of (1), this shouldn't be too hard to do. It should be noted that the QuickTime usage will be factored out in such a way that Mac AppStore submission should work fine at point (1) - as long as you don't use QuickTime related features (player, sound recording, QT effects). Finally, getting to (3) will require rewriting some other parts of the Mac specific part of the engine to fully eliminate Carbon/Classic calls. There are still a couple of areas which work fine in a mixed Carbon/Cocoa app - in particular, AppleScript and AppleEvent related code - so they remain untouched at present. In terms of timescale - phase (1) is the priority as this is the majority of the work needed. We're hoping to have a DP of a version with this work completed coming out quite soon. I'm hoping we'll also get a port to AVKit in that DP cycle too - although it depends on how many issues crop up with the change from Carbon to Cocoa in people's app. Getting to (3) will probably take a while beyond an initial Cocoa release depending on resources and how long it takes to get the initial version of the Cocoa port to stability."

iOS App Crash
I have an iOS app that is in the app store. It's been working great and I have uploaded several updates since it's first release. No problems. However, the last update I submitted to Apple was approved and released in the app store, but it crashes when you launch the app. I checked the app in LC... no problem. Checked it again in the simulator... no problem. Built a new standalone and tried it on the iPhone... no problem. It obviously didn't crash when Apple got it or it wouldn't have passed the review process. Is it possible that Apple messed something up between the review process and posting it to the store? Anyone heard of such a thing? And, if so, what does one do about it?

Re: iOS App Crash
There is an issue in iOS where if there is less than 400MB of storage the OS won’t let you read or write files. I’m guessing that by “lots” you mean more than 400MB. But in any case, it may be worth checking your reading and writing code, to see what would happen if that failed. I don’t think Apple do anything to the app that would introduce an issue like this. ___ 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

Hi Dan, If possible, could you submit a report on this issue to our QC team as this will allow us to investigate the issue further.

Call for testing with 6.6.2 RC3
We all want LiveCode to be stable for the work we rely on it to do, so this is our chance: The dev team has posted 6.6.2 RC3 today, and as you know "RC" means "Release Candidate". This being the third RC means we're very close to seeing a release, but of course we'll want to catch any issues with it BEFORE release, not after, so Please download v6.6.2 RC3 today and test with it over the weekend: http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/ It's always good to back up your files anyway, so run your backup, install the new build, and test away! If you find any bugs you know where to file 'em: http://quality.runrev.com/enter_bug.cgi Thanks in advance for your efforts to help ensure this new build will perform perfectly for the projects you're working on. If you find your testing with 6.6.2 RC3 is going well and you have extra time to test, 6.7 DP3 is also available on the Download page and could benefit from more testing as well. -- Richard Gaskin LiveCode Community Manager rich...@livecode.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

Installing 6.6.1 Community on Windows 8
Hi! I have a Windows 8 Parallels machine I hardly use. I have installed 5.5.4 Commercial in the past. I’m trying to install LiveCode 6.6.1 Community. I run the installer as administrator. But, every time I get this: Could not launch installer slave. What am I doing wrong?

Re: Installing 6.6.1 Community on Windows 8
Yep. 6.6.0, 6.6.1 and 6.6.2 RC3 all have the same problem. Well, I mean I have the same problem with all 3. I’m sure i’m doing something goofy. This is not from a network drive. This is right from the downloads folder. Do I need to change some security settings?

LiveCode Books
Simon, thanks for the purchase and positive comment. Dar, I guess it depends on what the company is doing. I may also do a more "serious" LiveCode eBook in the future, but I can't reveal the theme yet.

snapshot acting funny in 6.6.2 (rc 3)
My application scrolls and resizes a large map for plotting data. The view rectangle shows only a portion of it. I make a copy of the visible part using snapshot. That way I can put symbols on the viewable part of the large map without having to reload it when it is erased. The command is: —do some stuff wait for 0 seconds with messages export snapshot from rect snapRect to image “mapSnap” —do more stuff In LC 6.6, all works fine. I have to put the wait command prior to the snapshot command. wait 0 seconds with messages. When I tried the project in version 6.6.2 (rc3), the snapshot command stopped working. If I put a breakpoint to stop the script at the snapshot command, it works. So what I’m wondering is if I’ve done something wrong, and 6.6.2 has different timing, or what I might do to make this work in 6.6.2. Or, could it be a bug? I set the wait time prior to doing the snapshot to 1 second, and it made no difference.

Re: LiveCode Books
I think the important thing is effective self study and acceptance. The exec would want to suggest to a scientist, “Spend a day with LiveCode,” and not have the scientist quit.

Has anybody successfully installed these versions on Windows 8? Surely someone has. Was it a real machine? Parallels?

I tried several things and then remembered something one of the grandkids said. I installed for “only you”. It worked.

Re: Installing 6.6.1 Community on Windows 8
I think so, since I just clicked a button when I did some privileged things (run as admin, OK some I/O). That is, I didn’t have to type in a password. However, this is Windows 8 and I haven’t learned how to get to the control panel yet.
