Re: Is there a problem with the On-Rev email server
Hm, i cannot confirm this. For about 2 years now we are using the on-rev server as primary MX for our business communication (order confirmations, billing and so on) without any big problem. Before that we used the on-rev system as backup MX, also w/o any significant problems. We have enabled SPF and DKIM for our account in cPanel under email-authentication. I am not sure that just using an other ISP´s smtp system would avoid such a problem. It´s a general problem of all shared mail servers. Even if YOU are using that system for normal email communication, it is not granted that this problem will not happen. Why? Because as soon as one of the other users of that mail system uses the system to send spams or even just bulk email to some of the big providers like gmail, aol or others, it could happen / it will happen that the smtp server gets a bad reputation.

launch document fails sometimes with PDFs
Hello, I am using launch document to show a PDF file since long time. Sometimes on some Windows machines LiveCode doesn't find the associated program to the PDF file extension and the launch fails, though the Adobe Reader IS associated with the PDF file extension. It seems to me, that it is the same issue as LiveCode doesn't find Quicktime on some windows machines, though it is correct installed. Is this a known issue and anything I can do? I am thinking about replacing it with starting the Adobe Reader via shell. Can I just always start AcroRD32.exe without specified path on all windows machines? (it works at least on my machines fine). I don't like to get the path from the registry. Was the Adobe Reader already called Acrord32.exe on XP and will it hopefully stay by that?

Re: Constraining window dimensions proportionally while resizing
Hi Devin: One way to do this is to use a dedicated object for the resizer and to calculate the new dimensions before resizing the stack. Execute this in your message box: go url http://www.tactilemedia.com/download/constrained.livecode; This demonstrates one way to do a 4 x 3 ratio stack. I'm not sure if it's possible to get the window refresh to completely sync with the location of the resizer, but maybe this will get you close.

Whether the receiving server rejects the email depends on their spam settings, and some will blacklist whole blocks of IP numbers.

If your stack uses QT...
Just a heads up in case your project depends on QuickTime like mine does. The new default in LC 7 is not to set QT to load automatically as it used to do. The reason makes sense to me: QT is now deprecated and apps that use it will no longer be accepted into the App Store. I was thrown off because suddenly my project did not work when I tested in 7.0, and it turns out that dontUseQT is now set to true by default in the IDE. The fix is easy, you can just set dontUseQT to false somewhere in your scripts, or turn the preference back on in the IDE. -- 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

Re: Constraining window dimensions proportionally while resizing
Devin, I see you have some feedback, but do any of these address what I thought was your real question, that is, to constrain while dragging? It seems that trapping the resizeStack message, which acts sort of like the mouseMove message in that it is sent with every nudge of the stack size change, you could track the ratio of the stack window. By comparing the current ratio to the one just previous, perhaps stored in a custom property, you can see which dimension, X or Y, has exceeded the value of the one before. Since you are starting with a stack of a certain size, this ratio will start off in the way you want it. Then simply adjust that ratio so that you are keeping the aspect constant.

Re: Q: Standalone with drag and drop works on one Windows machine but not two others… why?
Thanks for the input but no solution yet. The user has admin privileges and the app can create and write new files to its default folder with no problem. Escape key doesn’t seem to make a difference, but what is it supposed to do anyway? Maybe there’s something there. For whatever reason, it works perfectly on my Win7 test machine, but not on the other two. Maybe they don’t have the right Trojans installed? The only major difference that comes to mind is that I have Livecode installed on the test machine. I figure, if they can drag and drop on the desktop, they should be able to drag to my Livecode app. Is there some way of associating files as “openable” by certain apps? Thanks for trying to help.

Delay After mobilePhotoPickPhoto?
I have app in which I'm using mobilePickPhoto to pull an image into a stack from the user's photo library. Once a (large) photo is chosen it can take several seconds for the photo to be available on the card. The problem is, there's doesn't seem to be any way to display a wait or progress indicator after a photo is selected from the picker. My understanding is that the only options for mobilePickPhoto library are to limit the import size. Has anybody figured out a way to show wait or progress once a photo is chosen from the photo picker?

Re: Is there a problem with the On-Rev email server
Just as a follow up to a post I made a couple of weeks ago, I still do not see any posts to this list from people with yahoo and aol addresses. Only way I find out is if someone replies to them. Every week or so, I get an automated email from the list administration that my membership has been disabled due to too many bounces. Fortunately, there's a link that turns it back on immediately so not a huge deal, just irksome that perfectly genuine emails to the list are somehow bounced for some list members. Heather is aware of the problem but it seems there's little that can be done to fix it.

Because as soon as one of the other users of that mail system uses the system to send spams or even just bulk email to some of the big providers like gmail, aol or others, it could happen / it will happen that the smtp server gets a bad reputation. I think you're right. The same thing happened on my shared server, hosted on JaguarPC, and I think it can happen anywhere. Whether the receiving server rejects the email depends on their spam settings, and some will blacklist whole blocks of IP numbers. One of my accounts sent an email with about 8 recipients, and five were rejected for bad reputation even though the email itself was short and generic. The big name ISPs get more clearance. If I send through Comcast it goes though, and I'm told that all the large providers are accepted the same way. That's why Gmail is probably a safe bet if you can accept the scanning they do (you can turn off targeted ads in preferences though.) -- 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 ___ 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
Re: Delay After mobilePhotoPickPhoto?
Hi Scott, I ran into this issue, I worked around it (mostly) by using mergAV. The delay is about a second now (on an iPhone 5). Still no way I know of to display a wait or loading progress.

Drag and drop basically stops working and pressing the escape key fixes it. Based on your description I don't think it will help, however, as you see the problem after a restart. For whatever reason, it works perfectly on my Win7 test machine, but not on the other two. Maybe they don’t have the right Trojans installed?

Re: searching for chars within a string
So much fun. A few ways to do this. How much do you know about arrays? Or if you like more old-fashioned sorts of methods, think about this. What if you made a repeat loop that examined each character in the source, AELPP, one by one. If that char exists in the target string, then delete that char from the target. Then you will either go through the entire source, in which case you know all the chars were there to begin with, or you will fail, in which case, well, you get the picture. Can you think of yet another way?

Install over previous version
There really needs to be a way to install over an old version. I get tired of having to go into Control Panel (Windows) to uninstall the previous one. And since I keep a link to the User Guide on my desktop, I'd rather keep installing into the same old directory, instead of a different one each time. Also, it would be nice if it asked where in the Start Menu to put its link. And whatever I choose should be instead of RunRev, not a prefix to it, since there's no need for a separate folder if it's only got one thing in it. I've also proved to my satisfaction that the choices of which updates to be notified of do not persist after LiveCode is closed and reopened. That's a bug. And I expect someone's already mentioned it, but in case they haven't, I just installed 6.6.3 but Help-About and the title bar say 6.6.2. This is a stable release, isn't it? -- Ciao, Paul D.
