AW: AW: Installer maker window keeps blank on OS X

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Not yet, but I will do. Because since years using the same installer this is 
the only customer, where this happens. So I first tried to find a reason on 
that specific Mac.

Thank you

Betreff: Re: AW: Installer maker window keeps blank on OS X

Have you contacted the installer maker author? It sounds like it is aborting a 
script or can't load data, or something similar.

It works here in Opera 31.0 and Chrome 44.0 (also works in Chromium) in 
openSUSE 13.2, 64-bit. I wonder what accounts for the difference in our 
experiences. It does not work in QupZilla or Konqueror using either 
WebKit or KHTML. It also works fine in Vivaldi.

Re: LCB API's

[jameshale]

OK, now I understand my confusion.

I have been comparing the NEW dictionary to the OLD (V7 and before) where
the listing of terms was BETTER presented (at least in my opinion).

In the OLD dictionary the listing of items was a table with three columns
the first of which was termed "Keyword"

This is what I wanted to see both in the NEW dictionary's current list as
well as presented as the NAME of the description (shown in bold).

The nearest I could come up with was to use the quoted strings in the syntax
description although without any leading "the", "set" or "get".

The OLD dictionary listing also included the syntax but this was in the
third column with the type of keyword displayed in the second column.

So I guess I am arguing for a return to this style of presentation as I have
found it much easier to look through the list when I can see clearly the
"keyword" without anything else confounding it.

So, is it possible to have more than one column in your list?
Is it possible to filter the syntax description to only show the quoted
strings and remove the prepositions (the, set, get, put) when there is more
than one quoted string and thus display what was the "keyword" in previous
dictionaries?
If more than one column is provided then displaying the "type" and the
"library" (in LCB case) would also be great.
Can you use the "keyword" as defined above as the name displayed in Bold as
the heading for the description?

My use of square brackets for the library name was not the suggestion, just
the library name's inclusion. 

The question of "left vs leftlist" is redundant if the listing is lead by
the keyword as I have described. 
The keyword here is "is" :-)

Your explanation regarding needle makes sense once the metaphor is
explained.
It just never occurred to me, so I am assuming it might not occur to
another. 
Changing entries where it is used to also use haystack makes it clear and
light.
I see this is done in some entries but not others and where it is done it is
not defined.

In the frontscript and backscript panes, you can select a line and when
you click "edit script" it opens that particular front/backscript. I

Some browsers (Chrome in particular, but all of them to some degree) have 
restrictive policies in place that prevent JavaScript (like the LiveCode 
engine) from accessing the local file system. There?s no way to work around 
this - it is a security feature to stop web apps from stealing your data. The 
HTML5 deployment guide has a section on how to use Python to run a local web 
server.

Sorry I did not explain my question well enough. What I would like to know is,
can the -get URL- command be tested/used form the desktop at all ?

Without any Server !

Please allow me to elucidate a little on the question of file I-O in the local 
file system using Javascript, in the hope that it will be useful to some of 
you, or that it might in some way influence what is/is not implemented in LC8:

1. A Javascript (or JQuery script) is able to upload data from a file directly 
from the local file system, without operator intervention, AS LONG AS IT IS AN 
XML file.

2. There exists an "xmlWriter.js", but I haven't managed to get it to work yet!

3. If operator intervention is allowed, then dialogues (like LC "answer file" 
dialogues) for uploading/downloading files from anywhere from/to the local file system 
can be achieved in 2 ways that I know of:

(a) Using "Uploadify" and "Downloadify". (Require Flash) A bit of a pain in the 
elbow to embed in your script though.
(b) Using HTML5. (Flash not required). Easier to embed, but not quite so direct 
in their usage of LC-style dialogues.



If anyone wants a demo of the XML upload, just drop me a line and I will send 
it to you.
If anyone knows how to get xmlWriter to work, I'd be grateful for a demo script 
if you have one.
For examples of Uploadify and Downloadify, see the 4 browser apps at:

http://www.howsoft.com/browserapps/

For an example of local file I-O using HTML5, see my unpublished app at:

http://www.howsoft.com/browserapps/quickinfo/

For information on embedding, just look at the script in the "developers" menu of 
your browser. (Sorry about the "spaghetti coding: my GGgrandmother was an Italian!)

I would like to emphasize that all the above concerns file I-O on the local 
file system, NOT on a server, regardless of whether the script itself is on the 
Internet or on the local machine.

For quite a long time, I have been trying to do everything in Javascript that I 
am able to do in LC on the desktop.
It ain't easy!

The issue is with combo boxes. The user guide says the tags and control

If you play around with any of those things, "!c", your "("  or whatever, in a 
pulldown. They all work fine.

Well, I think the 'right' way would be for the IDE bugs to be fixed.
But yes, what you're suggesting would be the most compatible for folks
who do/don't use strict compilation mode.

Re: Goodbye stsMLXEditor

[Peter Haworth]

Hah, thanks for that Mark.  You are correct, now I see the errors.  Did I
miss that somewhere in the thread?

Going back to the original issue, I guess I should track down the code in
the stsMXLEditor plugin that sets the script and set explicitvars before
and after it.  That will work for me because I use strict compile mode and
want these errors to show up but would cause a mess for folks who don't use
strict compile mode.

Perhaps the right way to do it would be to set explicitvars to the value of
the strict compile mode option or provide an option within stsMXL itself.
Unfortunately, don't have time to do that right now.

Thanks for filing that.

What's going on is that the editor preference for 'Strict Compilation"
doesn't do what you think it does. It only allows checking for errors
in the IDE's script editor (which is why it's in the script editor prefs).

What you really want to do is
set explicitVars true
before setting the script. Then you'll see the proper error result.
Add this to the top of your mouseUp handler and see the difference.

Why are there two settings?

The IDE's system scripts are riddled with bugs. If explicitVars were
enabled then errors would be seen and the team would have to fix them.
This would take time away from adding bloat^H^Hnew features.

There are at least three bug reports on the dictionary size, geometry, and

I'm not sure that it has much general utility really, but nevertheless the
fact that it is missing docs is a bug, thanks!

It has only one property, swatchColor, which takes a three or four item
RGB(A) string for its color (each between 0 and 255), or 'empty' for no
color in which case it shows a diagonal red line across it.

It is used in the IDE for color properties in the property inspector.

Re: Does anyone feel like updating the LiveCode page on Wikipedia?

[Devin Asay]

Updating the versions section now. I noticed that none of the release notes for 
the latest versions (6.7 and higher) say Mac Yosemite is supported, although I 
know lots of people, including me, are using LC on Yosemite. Is this just an 
oversight in the docs, or is Yosemite not officially supported?

Re: AW: Installer maker window keeps blank on OS X

Have you contacted the installer maker author? It sounds like it is 
aborting a script or can't load data, or something similar.

Betreff: Installer maker window keeps blank on OS X

Hello,



I am packaging my OS X program with installer maker and codesign it. It
works fine at all customers beside of one.

Now a customer with OS X 10.9.5 tells me that she opens my installer and he
gets only a blank white window. The window has my text in the title bar, but
not text or any buttons like cancel or next in the window, so she can't go
on to install my program, only close it by the red cross.



I have checked, if it has anything to do with the security settings (install
apps only from.), but nothing changes in the weird behavior of the
installer, changing the security setting. The user has admin rights.



Has anybody ever seen such a behavior, perhaps with any other program or any
idea, what to check for on this machine? What could go wrong here?



Thanks for any ideas

Tiemo

Assuming you did choose the revIgniter theme from

BareBones' BBEdit, but it's FREE little brother TextWrangler would filfill

I always thought that BareBones was a bit of a tongue in cheek
understatement for such a full featured Text Editor but when I compare the
22MB BBedit to Atom's 208MB maybe the BareBones is justified :-)


Ah, yes, I know it well.  Back when I was working exclusively on OS X it 
was my favorite editor too.  Very nice editor, almost too good, since it 
was feature-complete enough that I never felt the need to consider 
upgrading to BBEdit.


When I was splitting my time somewhat equally between OS X and Ubuntu I 
started out trying editors available for all three platforms (I need to 
work in Windows now and then too), but at the time there were few, and 
while Bluefish may have been one of the best of those available for all 
three it wasn't up to what I was used to.


Now that the majority of my time is spent in Ubuntu I've been enjoying 
Geany, but my longing for a multi-platform text editor has me 
considering dusting off the various editors I've built in LC over the 
years and getting around to finishing one of them.


I'll keep that as a back-burner option for now, though, until we hear 
back from the team on their plans for the optimizations needed in the LC 
SE.  I trust they'll want to deliver a great experience for new users 
long before they'll be in a position to be able to afford to rewrite the 
entire field object as a Widget, and that'll help us a lot too.

Re: LCB API's

[Ali Lloyd]

Probably instead of dots we would just display the whole syntax then, since
delete element *Start* to *Finish* of *Target *
would be just as illustrative but showing the parameter names as well.

I guess ideally it would be something snappier, in the same way that in the
script dictionary we have
Name: answer file
Syntax: answer file[s]  [with ] [titled ]
[as sheet]


I think having the library name might also be confusing if it was enclosed
in square brackets as this is the syntax specification for an optional
token in the script dictionary.

Is there a problem with:

 /LeftList/ is /RightList/
 /LeftString/ is /RightString/
 /LeftNumber/ is /RightNumber/
 /LeftBoolean/ is /RightBoolean/
 /LeftData/ is /RightData/

?

Needle is just a general term occasionally used for the thing being
searched for within something else (the Haystack). Possibly that would be
clearer if the other variable were called Haystack. (eg
http://php.net/strstr)

Using Social Media

[Dan Friedman]

I have a client who want their mobile app (for iOS and Android) to:

(1) Take a picture (a selfie).
(2) Put a watermark on the photo.
(3) Post that photo to the user's Facebook, Instagram and/or Twitter account 
with a specific hashtag.

Step 1 and 2 are easy.  Step three, on the other hand... not so much.  Can this 
be done?  And, if so, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance,
-Dan

AW: AW: Installer maker window keeps blank on OS X

Hi Paul,
thanks for your interesting experience. I already asked for an anti virus at
the first contact, which was negated, but now I will ask again a bit more

Have you asked what is any antivirus software your customer has on that Mac?

I suggest this because, I run Norton AV on Windows and it has stopped newer
version of LiveCode itself from running as it sometimes thinks some parts of
LC are malware with similar symptoms - often when trying to popup an open or
save file dialog which ends up blank. Norton then pops up a warning screen
asking if you want the malware removed to allow to continue. Clicking
continue lets LC complete it's task, but if the use never saw any AV alert,
they may just stare at the blank dialog.

I have not had this happen with a Standalone - only with LC itself - but you
asked for any ideas.

My preferred browser if Dolphin for Android.  I like that (especially on a
tablet) you can edit an advanced setting to enable Desktop as the device so
you get the non-mobile websites.  Funny thing, in this mode, it announces
itself as Safari on a Mac.  It downloaded and said "running", but never
showed anything.

Re: HTML5 test

[Colin Holgate]

I just tried the Silk browser on Fire HDX, it gives the Javascript error that 
Edge and IE 11 give. The Opera browser on Mac shows the same color issues.

As an aside, Opera and Chrome are the worst performance. Safari and Firefox are 
better.

Re: LCB API's

[jameshale]

In the .mlc file an example syntax definition is of the form:

 "delete" "element"  "of" 

where the verbs, for want of a better term, are quoted.

Why can't these be the name that is shown in bold at the top of the entry?

So in the above example the entry would have at the top
*delete element...of*

The listing entry in the top pane could remain as is or duplicate this with
the addition of the .mlc file from which it comes. 
say (as well as next entry) 

   delete element...of [lists]
   delete element...to...of   [lists]

The "is" operator would be shown as
   is[com.livecode.string]
   is[com.livecode.list]
   is[com.livecode.arithmetic]
   is[com.livecode.logic]
   is[com.livecode.binary]

instead of...
/Left/ is /Right/
/Left/ is /Right/
/Left/ is /Right/
/Left/ is /Right/
/Left/ is /Right/


The current name could then be called something closer to what it is like
"engine pseudonym" (just kidding) or something.

"Needle" seems to be a pseudonym for "expression" which is OK just seems
unneeded. 

Thoughts?

Thanks for the info. Consistently-wrong beats randomly-wrong any day (at least 
for fixing bugs…). 

Every browser seems to implement a different portion of the HTML5 standard and 
we’ve been focusing on a small number of browsers initially, with support for 
more to come later. I’d be curious to hear if anyone has had a go with Opera or 
the Android browser?

Some browsers (Chrome in particular, but all of them to some degree) have 
restrictive policies in place that prevent JavaScript (like the LiveCode 
engine) from accessing the local file system. There’s no way to work around 
this - it is a security feature to stop web apps from stealing your data. The 
HTML5 deployment guide has a section on how to use Python to run a local web 
server.

Hi Roger

no separate download needed. You can install themes (and packages)
within Atom in the "Install" section of the preferences.

That’s entirely possible - there are some byte-ordering issues (RGB vs BGA for 
images would case colour swapping) with the HTML5 engine at the moment. Is it 
the same in all browsers or does it work in some and not in others?

I ran the stack and the browser version of the stack side by side and the
colors are identical.

So it may well be that for images there is a color problem

Re: [OT] Atom Text Editor for Script Editiing - First Impressions

You are right, I use custom packages, mainly to keep
revIgniter stuff separat from LiveCode server syntax.
But I disabled my packages, enabled the one provided
by Peter Brett, restarted Atom and the snippet was there.

So, assuming you use the latest version (0.5.1) I am at a loss.

Run the stack in LiveCode, do the colors look exactly the same as when you look

It could be that the color errors only affect bitmaps.

Maybe you manually entered yours and have forgotten about it. If you go to
your snippet pane and 'switch' is there then it means you've manually
entered it - if and repeat are not there because they must be part of the
language package.

Hi Kay,

actually there is a snippet for "switch", so
typing "s", "sw", "swi" etc. followed by a tab
should work, really. Then a placeholder for the
switch expression is selected. Subsequent
tabs select the first case value, the related
line of code and the placeholder for the
"default" code .

AW: Installer maker window keeps blank on OS X

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

I am still completely puzzled, what is going on that Mac. I have never seen
such a behavior. The first window of the installer program just keeps empty,
no control/button is shown, neither the text field, which usually is there.
I am almost sure, that it is any wired thing on the customers Mac, but the
customer, as always swears, that all other programs could be installed and
run without any problem, so it must be my crappy program.

Has anybody ever seen such a behavior on a Mac or any idea, what to check
for on that Mac, before I refund the price for my not working program to
that customer? I have no idea in which direction I could investigate.

Thanks for any ideas
Tiemo

Betreff: Installer maker window keeps blank on OS X

Hello,

 

I am packaging my OS X program with installer maker and codesign it. It
works fine at all customers beside of one.

Now a customer with OS X 10.9.5 tells me that she opens my installer and he
gets only a blank white window. The window has my text in the title bar, but
not text or any buttons like cancel or next in the window, so she can't go
on to install my program, only close it by the red cross.

 

I have checked, if it has anything to do with the security settings (install
apps only from.), but nothing changes in the weird behavior of the
installer, changing the security setting. The user has admin rights.

 

Has anybody ever seen such a behavior, perhaps with any other program or any
idea, what to check for on this machine? What could go wrong here?

 

Thanks for any ideas

Tiemo

Re: Does anyone feel like updating the LiveCode page on Wikipedia?

[dunbarx]

I have a few comments there, though I have quite a bit in the HC page.  The 
problem is that I am still using v.6.7, so though I am excited about v7 and v8, 
I have not used them. But anyone can be an "editor" for Wikipedia.

Hi all,

We've noticed that the LiveCode Wikipedia

 page is a little bit out of 
date. 
Actually, it's not a little bit out of date -- it's **very** out 
of
date!

Due to Wikipedia's "Neutral Point of View" rules

 we [i.e.

people who work for LiveCode] can't update it ourselves.

Is there anyone in
the community who would be willing to freshen it up a 
bit, please?

Hi Malte!

To address the points in order:

1) Yes, that means no XML at the moment.  However, most browsers have 
built-in XML support.  So *in theory* it would be possible to use it. 
We would probably do that by adding support for LiveCode Builder to 
HTML5, then adding support for calling JavaScript code to LiveCode 
Builder, and then adding a LiveCode Builder library that uses the 
browser's XML support to provide the revxml extension's interface.  So, 
quite some way to go still...


2) Yes, POST *should* be supported in the LiveCode 8 stable release.  I 
can't guarantee it though.  It depends how far we get.  We plan to 
continue to improve the HTML5 engine on an ongoing basis!

Re: HTML5 test

[BNig]

Hi Colin,

seeing your example I just took a stack I posted on livecodeshare
http://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/445/Colorpuzzle
and knowing nothing about HTML I just made a HTML5 standalone

It worked surprisingly well. Amazing, just converting it to HTML5 was only
compile time.

The stack lets you pick a color from the bottom pane and then this color
sticks to the cursor and you move it to the top pane to match the color and
click again. Then you either have a hit or a miss. Counter work.
The interface (sticking color square) was intended for touch devices.
The 3 right sided sliders let you adjust the colors to make it more
difficult/easier. Just play with them.
Some elements like buttons/sliders don't look quite right but basically it
works.
Tested in Safari.

here is the link to the HTML5 version

Hi Charles,

The project browser in LiveCode 8 is a bit incomplete, and it really 
does need quite a lot more work on it!


Please do send through any fixes you find.  Even if the code does get 
replaced eventually, fixing bugs that are affecting people right now is 
always extremely helpful and appreciated.

Re: [OT] Atom Text Editor for Script Editiing - First Impressions

[BNig]

Hi Kay,

thanks for your thorough description

just wanted to add that from what I understand the Livecode builder and
revigniter functionality was added by Peter Brett

https://github.com/peter-b/atom-language-livecode 

He is welcomes community based input to the project

http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=93&t=25166&p=130953#p130953

Andy Piddock has posted a stub livecode builder script snippet to this list
and the forum. It basically sets up the standard header for a script, very
handy.

Peter plans to merge it into the project.

I also would like to see a handler tree.

Kind regards
Bernd

Re: LCB API's

[Ali Lloyd]

The fact that the example for the localdate doesn't actually include "local
date" is indeed confusing, and a bug.

I wonder if a judicious choice of parameter name would help with the
multiple entries for the same syntax. If we had *LeftList *is *RightList*,
etc. would that be ok?

The reason they are separate is because they are actually separate pieces
of syntax residing in different modules. They are tied to the types. I'm
not convinced it makes sense for them to all be in the same entry. However,
I do like the idea of having an additional grouped entry (a sort of
disambiguation page).

A syntax definition for LiveCode Builder looks like this

syntax ReplaceString is statement

"replace"  "with"  "in"


begin

MCStringExecReplace(Pattern, Replacement, Target)

end syntax

ReplaceString is the 'name' of the syntax block. it is true that this
information is irrelevant from the point of view of the LiveCode Script
user. The question is, what do we replace the name with? In the LiveCode
Script dictionary, the name used is the filename of the corresponding Lcdoc
(or previously XML) file, with the hyphens replaced.

Currently the inline docs parsing takes the name from this block. Perhaps
the only option here is to add
Name: replace
and so on to every syntax declaration, as I'm not sure there is anything in
that syntax block that could be automatically formatted to the sort of
thing you're looking for.
