Re: OT : Hosting providers
I just noticed, that one of our accounts which is on JASMINe since 2013 (it was moved from pancake at that time), now shows also old DB data from 2014. Not only our shop is no showing outdated products, but also it is not working correctly anymore because the onfiguration is stored in the db also and we are changing passwords regularly. Even our user access db for download is not up to date any more. This shows me 1.they did not delete the old account data on Pancake after our move to jasmine in 2013 and did include that old data in every backup. 2. they do not have a correct overview which accounts are on which system. So if there are others who moved from Pancake to Jasmine some time ago. Check your Databases.

But I do need one more rant some of my sites are down (bad) some have incomplete or old data (very bad) but MUCH WORSE some have their scripts and data in place, but LCServer isn't, so the scripts are being displayed to users rather than being executed. So on some sites (I won't name them :-), you can go along and have a look at all my .lc scripts. I suspect that might mean you can see my MySQL database names and passwords (since they are hard-coded into an LC script somewhere, which was acceptable because those scripts would never be viewable by any user). So this isn't just poor service, this is a breach of my security. To avoid that i got into the way of storing all my scripts outside the „public_html“ folder. I created a folder in my home folder where i store all my scripts. In the public_html and its subfolders i just place scripts with an one liner which uses the include command to include the scripts outside the publicly accessible folders. So in any case Livecode server is not running, the users just see the script with my include command. Nothing else. /rant -- Alex. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com mailto: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 http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com mailto: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 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: OT : Hosting providers
Just to clarify: I have to correct my self. The DBs were not overwritten. I can see the current data using phpMyAdmin. Only our shop is not able to show the current data. Interestingly new orders and customers can also be seen. Only data between April 2014 and up to 30rd April 2015 cannot be seen. So no old backup was restored to our „old“ jasmine account.

Anyone have a LC based PHOTO Organizer app?
Hi, I need a photo organizer to catalog, trim, move, delete, tag, etc. I have been using google's Picasa 3 but now it chokes as I've got too many images (15,000).

3 strategic questions I have re iOS development
Folks: I’ve been getting more and more into iOS development and need some direction. If you have input on any of the questions below, I’d appreciate it very much. I’d like to implement solutions that will last well into LC8. 1. Can iOS do audio recording, without Xtras? If not, is mergAV a good choice? It has much more capability than I currently need, but may be the best solution for the future. With mergeAV, I’d also get (I think) the capability to determine the play time of audio files, go to a specific spot in an audio file, etc. These are listed as video capabilities on the mergeEXT site, but I assume they would also work for audio (Monte?) 2. Is it possible for LC to link to iTunes songs. Seems I really only need to determine the directory. I notice there is also a mergeMP extra, but since I’ll just be playing a selected audio file, I wonder if it is needed. 3. What is the simplest way to store a file in the iOS dropbox (or Google Drive)? Do I need an external for that? 4. Is it possible (or feasible) to store data in the user’s iCloud storage? Comment: the LC implementation of the AV Foundation capabilities is really minimal. The standalone player is very nice. It would be great if the mobile system had the same capabilities. My questions are those that I have and can’t find dictionary or lesson entries, or Google answers for. Also, with LC8 coming out, I’d like to use a minimum of externals. Thanks for any input.

Re: LC7 arrayEncode/Decode

E.g., does it makes a difference, if I compare the string in the key or the data of the array while looping thru? I mean, would it make a difference, if I would create an associative array, where my search looks up in the keys of the array, either by looping thru the array, or by extracting first the keys of the array into a separate variable, instead in the data of the original array? Would it make a difference looping thru a variable, which just contains the keys of the array, instead of looping thru the complete array, because of the smaller footprint in the memory?

Cool function Bob, I always love a good recursive handler. It might be broken when an array element contains more than one word. (Limited testing tho.)

Unicode
Busy converting SQLiteAdmin to be Unicode compliant using LC 7.0.4. It's going very smoothly so far and no performance issues or crashes. Couple of things I'm not clear on. These questions all refer to variables that hold textDecoded strings Does toUpper/toLower work? Similarly, does the setting of caseSensitive work OK when comparing textDecoded strings? Can I use char references, e.g. char x to y of tVar or offset, or do I need to use byte x to y, byteOffset?

That is in an array key name. Bob S On May 4, 2015, at 14:32 , Bob Sneidar bobsnei...@iotecdigital.commailto:bobsnei...@iotecdigital.com wrote: That may be.

Byte is useful only when working with raw binary data in which you can know in advance the number of bytes you need to deal with. -- 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

That may be. I never use multiple words in an array so it would never have occurred to me to test for that.

This is handy when you need to eliminate keys using the filter command and then converting back to an array again. But it can be useful for finding an array key or element. Try it on a multidimensional array and view the results. You can see that if you find a line, you will be able to discern the actual array key.

It already flattens an array nicely, but not in a searchable way. It would be cool to add an optional argument that still flattens, but doesn't encode. The code to traverse the array is already there, with an option to leave the data and keys readable, it would then make an interesting batch of searchable text.
