Re: How to open a second window w/o disturbing calling stack.
Bob: that makes good sense. Unfortunately, I’ve done a lot of work with V7 and so far it hasn’t let me down, especially after the last 3 releases of 7.0.1 have fixed a couple of problems I had. Fortunately, I had quite a bit of lead time for my application, but now I’ve got to get a beta out by next week. I think it’s going to be ok. Best, Bill William A.

Changes to LiveCode Linux Extensions
Hi Linux fans! Some of you might remember that a few years back I provided a number of "LiveCode Extensions for Linux", in order to get around limitations existing in Rev/Linux at that time. I hope you found them useful. However, now that Rev are about to launch LiveCode 7, most of these limitations have disappeared, and in anticipation of this, I have updated the web page at howsoft.com accordingly: http://www.howsoft.com/runrev/extensions/ One remaining extension is the embedded WebKit "Web Browser", which Livecode/Linux achieves by firing Python scripts. The new demo of this extension corrects 2 limitations of the previous version: 1. When shelled from LiveCode, closing a Python browser window does not terminate the process. After firing various Python sripts one after the other (and leaving all the processes running), the previous version of this LiveCode extension provided a button to kill off all Python processes to get rid of them! Not very satisfactory! In the new demo, firing a new Python script kills off the previous process. Finally, closing the LiveCode window kills off the remaining Python process. Other Python processes running outside the LiveCode shell are not touched. 2. For some reason, the Python browser windows were not always being positioned as specified by script in the previous version. Since I am no Python programmer, it took me a while to discover the reason for this. Apparently, although you can specify the SIZE of the Python window (in the script) BEFORE displaying it, you can only specify the LOCATION of the Python window AFTER you have displayed it! The example scripts of the demo have therefore been updated to take this into account. I read somewhere that the new LiveCode WebKit browser for Linux is "Coming Soon" after the Windows and Mac versions. I hope that this improved Python solution tides you over in the m..e..a..n..t..i..m..e!

The new versions don't show up for me in the check for updates window in LC 6.7.

Re: Delete and object from script within the object?
Right. You cannot delete an object that has a running handler.

Re: How to open a second window w/o disturbing calling stack.
Again, and no implied disrespect to the developers who I believe have been doing a bang up job, I have not started using V7 for production work yet. I keep a V6.7 stack file as my development file, and if I want to play around in V7 I save as a different stack file.

Re: Can you please enlighten me on the LiveCode versions?
The short answer is yes, at least for Mac Yosemite and Windows 7, since that's what I was doing yesterday, and my standalones were working very well. There may be an issue with earlier versions of OS X, specifically Lion - RunRev are investigating this possibility as I write. Of course your mileage may vary: I don't use every part of LC's functionality (who could?) but I do have a small amount of Unicode-aware scripting, which is why I migrated to LC7 in the first place.
