Re: Problem/strange behavior with older version of Mergpop (2.0.7) and Retina screens?
Hi there, Thanks for your answers. When using LC 6.6.3 everything works as aspected (the entire snapshot is saved on a retina device) with the original code below (build with an older version of LC): -- export snapshot from rectangle 20,72,1000,742 to tFoto as PNG put tFoto into img foto put tFoto into URL (file:specialFolderPath(documents)/woordparachute.png) put specialFolderPath(documents)/woordparachute.png into tImage -- mergPopActivity ,tImage,, - There was a suggestion there was a bug with snapshot. I think I will use LC 6.6.3 to upload a new version off the app and see what happens. Suggestions or code changes are still welcome. greetings, William 2014-09-29 17:01 GMT+02:00 Earthednet-wp proth...@earthednet.org: There was a problem with snapshot that, I think, got fixed in 6.7, or possibly one of the 6.6 releases. I use snapshot heavily in my app, reported a bug a while ago, and it was verified and fixed. You might try one of the newer releases. I'm doing all of my work on 7.0 now, and the app I'm developing works well.

Re: LiveCode startup
Mike Doub wrote: i am trying to understand the start up sequence of livecode. Is there any documentation on the engine and it's architecture? Depends what you want to do. For most scripters, the User Guide provides sufficient description of the message sequence. But if you want to make a custom IDE, there are some details that won't interest most folks that might interest you, and I could put together a tech note if needed. What are you looking to do? PS - a thought on one item in your list: When you build a standalone of your app, the IDE builds a executable of the engine and your main stack but it renames your main stack to the name of that first stack in number 1 above so when you run the standalone your stack is the first to run. Stack objects are not renamed. After all, if they were then any scripts that refer to that stack would break. During build time the engine executable becomes statically bound to a copy of your stack file, with a pointer within the engine that finds the beginning if your mainstack object within the executable file so it can unpack it and start sending messages. In most respects (aside from initialization scripts specific to the IDE), the boot sequence is very similar to what you see when opening a stack in LiveCode, with the exception that the startup message isn't sent since the IDE gets that when it starts up. Once we know more about what you're looking to do we can provide clear advisement on how to go about it. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.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: Strip a ™ character
The code I presented was because I thought it would
be similar to what you already have. It shows there is
not much code for that routine. Strip out the lines that
are made for the user to enter the code to transfer and
show those questions on screen and the part that will
quit if the user does not enter a binary code and then
all of the required curly braces etc. and there is not that
much left to the code that was small in the beginning.
I knew pascal better than I know C. I can read it and also
write it a little but I am not a pro or even close. Objective-C
is the way to go and for me it has a better structure. But it
uses some of the same formats as C.
If I was going to suggest code to replace the code that is being
used I would strongly suggest Grand Central Dispatch (GCD).
It can be accessed from foundation which Trevor said they have
put in LiveCode and the foundation library is accessible from the
Objective-C externals package he posted a link to. It compiles
successfully without any problems using what is in the package
even on the newer Xcode but it won’t work properly due to it will
need to be compiled with Xcode 2.4. That means once someone
gets their system in place to properly compile his examples things
like the NSFilemanager and GCD can easily be incorporated.
Concerning the problems with the binary to hex conversion not
working I tested it many different ways. I placed returns before
the line and after the line. I have stripped the returns and I have
placed each 8 character binary on a separate line and then I took
only the eight chars from each line so nothing would need to be
stripped and it would still put the unwanted characters in the Hex
that was returned. All you do is take eight characters and then
enter two characters they represent. You enter one line of code
and it works but if you enter more than one line it does not work.
Problems like that could have easily made customers say that it
is not a good program to use and that reduces sales and causes
financial problems. A lot of my code was stolen and erased from
my hard drive and they would also change it causing me problems.
This actually happened and my business records were changed.
So I have been attacked at many levels for many years and when
I expose a serious problem with code in LiveCode and someone
taunts me or LiveCode I do not find it any more fun than someone
kicking me after others have attacked me from behind. That is the
same attitude people gave me when they would steal my supplies
and tools from my electrical contracting business and intentionally
over charge me constantly. I wrote a program to catch the over
charging but even that takes time out of your life and they know
what they are doing and they enjoyed it. You learn to deal with it
or you break and they are not held accountable because they will
say it was a mistake. Things are a lot worse than you are aware
of in the business world unless you are connected to this group.

Dr. Hawkins is a good-natured fellow, and I've known him long enough to feel
confident that his comment wasn't an attack on you, but merely on C, and even
then in a light-hearted way (or so I'm sure it was intended).
Most of us here are long-time LiveCode fans, so when we see C presented as an
alternative, the notion of having to do that level of tedious bit-counting
and then waiting for a compiler compels us to make the text equivalent of
raspberry sounds. :)
In this particular case, the code you presented is likely very similar to the
code already in LiveCode for the built-in binaryDecode function.
But in LiveCode, we not only have the advantage of being able to access it
directly in the scripting language right now, but it also runs on all 7 of
the platforms LiveCode supports.
This is similar in some respects to your earlier suggestion that we need to
have the NSFIleManager. If you review the LiveCode source code
RELEASE: LiveCode 6.6.4 RC1
Dear list members, We're please the announce the release of LiveCode 6.6.4 RC1. *Release Contents* 6.6.4-rc-1 brings iOS 8 support to LiveCode. As well as adding the ability to produce device builds using the iOS 8 SDK (required for app store submission) and test with the iOS 8 simulator, the following iOS 8 bugs have been resolved: * Pickers do not work * Rotation does not work * Screen sizes report incorrectly * Push notifications do no work * Apps rejected by app store * iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus support In order to take full advantage of all the fixes, it is recommended that users have Xcode 6 (and at least OS 10.9) installed. Users of older versions of OS X can still take advantage of the bug fixes and develop and test as before. However, beware that it is likely apps built with such a setup will not be accepted into the app store. *Getting the release* You can get this release by selecting “check for updates” from the help menu in LiveCode or download the installers directly at http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/ Warm regards, The LiveCode Team ___ 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: Strip a ™ character
Well then Dr. Hawkins won’t need to take things too seriously if he is offended. He is a big boy just like me and you. As for my business it is nice you are concerned about the damage but there was a lot more than that at a lot more levels. I can assure you these people are everywhere and they are organized. It appears they have some form of tapping system and they use gossip or other means to attack too. But the subject is the code. I do not know unix and you may be right. The thing with the extra chars is critical. The code to convert is simple. As for the code being converted it was all from a field. Write something in the field on one line then use the code to convert that line to binary and it works. You put that code into the field and all it knows is you have put 6 characters for each letter you had in the field and those characters are now a combination of 0’s and 1’s. So you now have the same type of text in the field. To convert that to Hex you take 8 chars out of the field and then replace them with 2 chars that can be a number and a letter from A to F. The letters can be either upper or lower case but it will be used the same way in the conversion. Most people are not actually doing the conversion from the binary 8 char to Hex 2 char they call a routine from a library similar to me call a function you wrote. So the conversion if successful at all should always be successful and will not give you extra chars. The text returned is what will always be returned so if your function takes text from a field and returns it then there is really no big change unless you change its form. What is being done to the text is not changing its form unless the code used is somehow changing it but if that is the case you would not be able to have a single char or line work either. There is no reason to add more chars just because you have used the conversion on text from a different line. If it was doing it on text from the first line too then that might be possible but just telling 8 chars they are now 2 chars does not add AA and the form of text entered or returned does has no reason to be changed just because you entered text from another line. I did it where I only used the eight chars on each line. I can choose any one line from the field and it works fine. I have ways that I think I can solve the problems and if that does not work I can use GCD. The problem needs fixed or you will be left with a problem and in that case why not just remove the code that allows you to convert Binary to Hex? Leaving bad code is like selling milk and then the user opens the container and finds it does not have any milk. If you know milk is not being put into the containers then do not sell the milk or fix it.

Re: Strip a ™ character
Okay, I am sorry I misunderstood you. I do not like C or any of its form either. And I do not like all of the wasted text with curly braces. Now that Apple has released Swift it is a little easier than C but you still need to have a C background to use it.

The time difference is big enough that I suspect Zyrip is on the right track: http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-livecode/2014-October/206543.html But in general, executing AppleScript from LiveCode will almost always be somewhat slower than running the same script within Apple's AppleScript Editor for two reasons: 1. In AS, the interface to the AE subsystem is initialized when the app opens, but in LC it needs to be setup at runtime when the call is made. 2. In AS scripts are compiled before being run, but in LC we're passing a string to the AS subsystem, which it then has to compile before executing. Neither of those should take quite that long, though.

Vector Gradients subtle regression
Hi All, I am away from a reliable internet connection, (wireless connections are excellent, but cost a lot) so if one of you already reported this bug in the Quality Center, mail list or the forum, please include a link in your answers to post all files uploaded with this message with your own report. If there is no report about this bug, I already wrote to Richard Gaskin, our Community Manager to report this regression in the Quality Center. Next week, l will read your messages in this thread. Recently, while importing some SVG files with gradients created using InkScape, I found a bug while rendering gradients in vector graphics. Check the linked zip file (that includes two LiveCode stacks and two small SVG files) where I explain the nature of the rendering bug. It's a VERY subtle rendering bug, but effectively will cause many headaches if you are trying to import SVG files with gradients. I have included (among the linked files) an Alpha version of the original SVGL stack with code to import ONLY Inkscape gradients. Inside the zipped file, there are two simple SVG files created with InkScape that you could import into LiveCode 6.1.2 and LiveCode 6.5 or later (including version 7) to compare the differences.

Conversion Chart
Hi Richard, I just posted you a message about Binary to Hex conversion. It included a chart but the message was held because it is too long so if you want it then ask the moderator. The point is your code ability is great and the text searching ln LiveCode is excellent. To write code that converts Binary to Hex all you do is get a chart with a completer character set. When your code sees the binary 00100101 it finds that in the chart and returns the 2 character Hex value in the chart for that binary number. I think you will have to agree after you wrote that code it will take you more code to add the extra characters and then you will also have to make sure it is not on the same line. It was not a issue of returns because I would get only the 8 chars on each line. We all know mistakes come from many different reasons but it is not due to the type of text or the conversion process or it will work wrong every time.

To convert from Binary to Hex you use this chart. Take a list of binary data and it will be a group of eight char sections. You take the first eight chars and now you will be dealing with the first Hex char. As I said before Hex is numbers 0 to 9 and letters A to F and these letters can be upper or lower case but keep it consistent. Now that you have eight Binary digits that represent one Hex value you take the first four binary digits and convert them to the Hex value in the chart and then you take the second four Binary digits and convert them to the Hex value shown in the chart. Now you have your two digit Hex value.

Re: Conversion Chart
That is what I was using and it works for ascii to Hex, ascii to Binary, Hex to ascii, Hex to binary, binary to ascii and then if you don’t have a lot of characters and you only call it from one line it works for binary to hex. In other words don’t use if for binary to hex unless you only are processing a few sets of 8 digit chars to hex and they are not on different lines. I even put them all on separate lines and only took the eight chars so there were no returns to strip. Any one line out of many thousand will work but when you try to convert another line it will not work but it might give you the appearance that it worked.

Re: Strip a ™ character
I have a mac and I type the data into a field using my keyboard. It does not work right. But I also have tried with files that are on my mac and I have transferred them from binary to ascii and then to binary code and the conversions all work properly with all of the files and typing except for binary to hex which works if you are only using one line and not too many characters which I did not waste my time figuring out how many you can use. I do know you can type Mark into a field and then transfer it to binary code and then put that code into a field. You can then transfer that binary code to hex or ascii and it will work. The ascii will be Mark again and the hex can be transferred to ascii and it will be Mark and you can transfer the ascii to binary and to ascii and it will be Mark again. We did all of the conversions and you are still Mark when we got done. You are feeling good and things are working nice! Now you type Mark into the field and put a return after your name. Do all of the conversions except the binary to hex. You can even convert ascii to hex and hex to binary and binary to ascii and you will still be Mark. Okay now using the same text make it become binary using any transfer you want to use. Remember this is Mark with a return after it. Now convert the binary to hex and use any path of conversions to get it back to ascii and you will see the name Mark and it will have the letters tm that are real small and up in the air. You are now Mark with a trade mark symbol. Of course if you type returns and do not strip them and have more text some times it will strip the return. The best thing to do in file conversions is strip the returns to prevent problems. Now type Hello on one line and type Mark on another line you can get one line and when you have processed it it will be fine but if you get two lines even though you only get the 0’s and 1’s because you know how many their are you will end up the the tm again. Now type a return and the name Mark and strip the return with code and you will end up with tm and Mark. Try to strip the tm with code and you cannot strip it out.

Running Mavericks and using 6.6.4 and Xcode 6.0.1 I can't get anything to run on the iOS 8 simulator (simulated device of any size) - even a 'hello world' stack made purely in 6.6.4 fails However my 'hello world' and my current app-in-development seem to run fine on an iPad4 running iOS 8.0.2 (but have not done exhaustive tests yet...)

[ANN] mergExt New Releases
Dear LiveCoders Today I'm releasing updates for all the mergExt iOS externals to support iOS 8. In addition there are a number of new features released today. - mergCL now includes geocoding and reverse geocoding commands and a distance between coordinates function. - mergMK now has commands to get and set annotation attributes and extra annotation options and messages - mergFTPD adds a FTP daemon to an app with one command which makes if very easy to manage a directory of files from the desktop version of your app or just from a regular FTP client. With the addition of mergFTPD (sold separately for $9) mergExt Complete is amazing value with $913 worth of individual products for one price of $299. I have also updated rrehardcopy for iOS 8. Unfortunately rrenarrator doesn't want to build in Xcode 6 and I don't want to take on maintenance of that external because of the quirky open source license it's distributed under I would need to rename it like I did with rremicrophone. When RunRev release a fix for rrenarrator I will re-include it in my build process to save people having to build it themselves.
