Re: System date

[Terry Judd]

So, with respect to my previous message, what I actually tried in the message 
box was...

set the useSystemDate to true; put the long system date

...but it still returned an English style date.

Re: System date

[Terry Judd]

Hi Antti – I just tried changing my Mac’s default language to Finnish (Suomi) 
then restarted it, opened Livecode (several versions up to 8.0.2) and typed 
“put the long system date” into the message box. All returned an English style 
date (Wednesday, 7 September 2016) even though the date in the menubar clock 
was in Finnish. So, it’s not just you.

Best regards,

Terry...

This thread has been instructive, as I've had the same grief as Antti. 
I've been using dateItems for all my date stuff, and reconstructing my

However, I didn't know about the useSystemDate command. It's working

Mostly I see this when the script calls into a LC library or external in 
the IDE. The editor won't break at those places unless you have 
gRevDevelopment set to true (I think) which allows you to step into the 
IDE scripts. Doing that is a snake pit.


Since your stack has databases, internet access, etc. it sounds like a 
candidate. What I usually do is put a breakpoint dot on the line right 
below the one that doesn't trigger so it will break immediately afterward.


I think I've seen skipped breakpoints at other times too but I can't 
remember what was involved. Those are pretty elusive.

Re: Debugger forgetting soft breakpoints

[mwieder]

Bob-

Here are a couple of things to look at:
First of all, in the message box you can "put the breakpoints", and that
will tell you what's active at the moment.
Second, if you've got a repeatably weird action, you can check the custom
property that contains the soft breakpoints for the topstack. From my notes
in PowerDebug:

* breakpoints are stored as long id of object, line number.
* the IDE's script editor unfortunately stores them
* in the cREVGeneral["breakpoints"] of the owning stack
* as short id, line #

As a last resort, you might look at the cREVGeneral["breakpoints"] of stack
"revPreferences".

Hi Monte.

I hesitate to submit a bug report when I cannot reliably reproduce the problem. 
Again, the app this occurs in has database dependencies, logins etc which would 
prevent you from seeing the actual problem because you could not get that far. 
I attempted to make a simple stack to demonstrate it, but the problem won't 
occur then.

Re: Debugger forgetting soft breakpoints

Hi Mark.

Yes but the problem occurs even when I have made changes AFTER the point of the 
soft break. So the line number does not change, but I am still seeing the 
breakpoints missed.

Also I vaguely remember this coming up back in version 6, and it was addressed 
back then, after which breakpoints worked flawlessly for a long time. I think 
this might be a regression.

Hi Craig

It looks to me like 15830 is something else entirely where poorly formed

Monte.


Yes, about a year ago (15830) in v 6.6.5.


The issue is really that the line numbers do not stick if you edit the script 
and change the line order.


Of course, just to confirm this long-standing issue, I made a stack with a lot 
of lines of code in a button handler. Now I cannot get it to fail at all. Tried 
it with another stack with lots of stuff in it, that I know I had to include 
hard breakpoints for any stability at all, and cannot get it to fail.


It is well known there are ghosts in LC.

Subject: Debugger forgetting soft breakpoints

Hi all. 

I can in my app reproduce the bug where the debugger is not stopping at soft 
breakpoints. If I edit code with a soft breakpoint set, then compile it, the 
soft breakpoint will be skipped the next time the code executes. 

HOWEVER... I cannot reproduce this with a new stack and a single button!!! I 
woder if it has anything to do with the size of the app, or perhaps the fact 
that I have code inserted into front and back scripts. I could poke around 
further, but frankly I can just unset and reset the breakpoint and it works 
like a charm.

Soft breakpoints in the IDE are a bit weird. They're tied to the line
number, for one thing, so if you edit the code so that your saved soft
breakpoint no longer matches the line number it was saved with, it will no

Debugger forgetting soft breakpoints

[Bob Sneidar]

Hi all. 

I can in my app reproduce the bug where the debugger is not stopping at soft 
breakpoints. If I edit code with a soft breakpoint set, then compile it, the 
soft breakpoint will be skipped the next time the code executes. 

HOWEVER... I cannot reproduce this with a new stack and a single button!!! I 
woder if it has anything to do with the size of the app, or perhaps the fact 
that I have code inserted into front and back scripts. I could poke around 
further, but frankly I can just unset and reset the breakpoint and it works 
like a charm.

If I understand your question correctly:

The HTMLtext of the field holds the source info
that is used to set the imageSource. 

For example 
or .
or .

You can now
"get the imageSource of char 3 of field 1",
what may result in a name, an id or an imageURL. And
you have to deduce from that a full object reference
(AFAIK there is no built-in-way to do the latter,
"resolve image" does similar things for icons and
patterns of objects).

Re: System date

[Richmond]

You should have taken a bit longer to read the documention, this:

on mouseUp
   set the useSystemDate to true
   put the long date into fld "fDATE"
end mouseUp

returned this:

вторник, септември 6, 2016

as I am using a machine running Xubuntu 16.04 64-bit with the system 
date system running

in Bulgarian - mainly because I live and work on Bulgaria.

Re: System date

[Tore Nilsen]

I have no problem using the system date here in Norway. It works when I use the 
following:

 answer the system date

and when I use:

set the useSystemDate to true
answer the date

In the last example, remember to set the useSystemDate to true every time you 
want to use the system date, as it resets to US date once the handler is 
finished.

Hi Warren,

Yes, just like in LiveCode 8.0.0, you will need to manually choose
widget inclusions in 8.0.2.

widget inclusion in standalones 8.0.2

[Warren Samples]

I've looked through a number of release notes but haven't been able to 
find this information. Is it expected that we have to manually select 
widgets for inclusion when building standalones in 8.0.2?


I'm running Linux, and I note that this happens automatically in 8.1 RC2.

Re: Capturing QR codes using mergAV - how to?

[Mike Kerner]

Well, let me know if you're still struggling with it.  Yes, AV requires
video and audio.  I don't remember if I put in an enhancement request to
remove the audio requirement, but if I didn't one of us should.  AV is
pulling a live video feed and looking for the barcode (QR is just another
barcode).  When it sees the barcode, Monte is drawing the blue line through
it to tell you that it sees the code.

Re: Capturing QR codes using mergAV - how to?

[Terry Judd]

Thanks Scott – ok, I’ve got mergAVCamCaptureImage doing something now now so 
that’s a step in the right direction (I actually had a spelling syntax error – 
mergeAV instead of mergAV – doh). With respect to the barcode stuff, does that 
work on a captured image or does it access the specified camera directly? 
Looking at the code in the sample stack (which I now have) it seems like the 
latter but I didn’t get a response when I put a QR code in front of it.

Regards,

Terry...

order to use the camera. If that isn’t the problem then give another shout. (I 
switched from using mergZXing to mergAV when building an app that let my 
students scan QR codes.)

Capturing QR codes using mergAV - how to?

[Terry Judd]

Hi – I’m trying to build a simple iOS app to capture and decode QR codes (for 
marking student attendance at compulsory activities) and am a bit stuck getting 
the mergAV external to work its magic.

I can capture an image ok using the mergAVPick() function with the rear camera 
but I was thinking that perhaps I should be using mergAVCamCaptureImage 
instead? If so then I’m going wrong somewhere as it does nothing when I call 
that command. I’m assuming I need to call mergAVCamCreate first and then set it 
up using the mergAVCamSet command. Is that right?

I seem to recall someone mentioning that they were using mergAV successfully to 
‘scan’ QR codes a while back (and that it was superior to mergXZing in that 
regard). Does anyone have any tips/samples they would be willing to share?

Best regards.

Terry...
