Re: Image "Size"

[panagiotis merakos via use-livecode]

Thanks for your kind words, Hermann.

Indeed, the property name "size" might be confusing, but it has been like
this for ages, so changing it now will break existing scripts.

In the property inspector, if you change the settings to show the
"Description of option" rather than the "Name of LiveCode property", then
it says "Size in bytes". At least this might clarify things for newcomers.

We could add a note to the dictionary though, including what is NOT the
"size", as you accurately described it in your previous post.

Kind regards,
Panos

How to IMPORT CONTACTS and GPS location

[paolo mazza via use-livecode]

Dear LiveCoders,
I have not been using livecode for a while and do not know anymore
what are the features of Livecode today.
I would like to know
- if LiveCode can IMPORT THE CONTACTS from the Iphone and Android systems
- if it is possible to send an address to Google and get the GPS
location from a LiveCode app.
Best regards,
Paolo Mazza

Re: Mac App Store step by step instructions just updated.

[JB via use-livecode]

One thing I have noticed with some software is if I upgrade
to another drive and OS X then a message is shown that
says it does not recognize I purchased it from the Mac App
store and I am asked to log in with my user info to activate
the program.  I don’t know if they check for serial numbers
of the drive or if this is automatic from Apple.

 That’s not something I’ve worried about. I thought, perhaps mistakenly, 
 that the App Store handled that. I’ll buy a copy of my paid app and email 
 it to you. You can see if you can run it and we’ll have some idea as to 
 whether the App Store provides copy protection.

I agree that my software does not need copy protection.

Re: Mac App Store step by step instructions just updated.

[JB via use-livecode]

With the low price of software is it really even worth it
to copy protect your program?  Most software is not
very expensive and it would be like trying to copy
protect a song.  People do not want songs to be
copy protected.

The majority of software I see on the App store does
not have copy protection and I am glad.

Any copy protection you provide can be defeated and
it just becomes a hassle for the honest people who did
purchase it.  Look at all of the music sold.  Even though
some of it is pirated most people will pay for it instead.

If you provide serial numbers don’t you have to spend
time on every item sold to give them a unique number?
The more you sell the more problems and then you
need to let users contact you if they lose the number
so they can use their software.

I'm running 10.14.3. I get alerts when an all is not supported or is likely to 
cause problems. I don't categorize this as highly unstable though. Livecode has 
kept up fairly well with the "vagaries" of the OS X updates, and I can tell you 
that with Windows 10 which I also have to service, plenty of apps go "unstable" 
as the OS is updated, and they also have to be updated.

Re: LC902 and LC901 Hang with Answer (was Crash)

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

I've been through them all. I do not notice any highly unstable behavior. All 
we use here are MacOS systems. Do you mean 10.0.1, or do you mean the initial 
release of every major version? The initial release of EVERYTHING seems to need 
the kinks worked out, but I think every MacOS since 10 being highly unstable is 
a dramatic overstatement.

Image "Size"

[hh via use-livecode]

Release 9.0.3 RC-1:
Thanks Panos (especially) for your work of the last months.

The "size" field for images disappeared a while ago and is now back.
TMHO the name "size" may be misleading. It is

= not the size = (width, height) of the image,
= not the size of the raw data (=4*formattedWidth*formattedHeight) in Bytes,
= not the filesize of the image when saved as single image to disk (which
depends on the image format, thus it is empty for referenced images),
= not the size of the LC image representation in RAM (which depends on the
resizeQuality of the image) in Bytes.

It is the size of the image in Bytes when saved as part of the stack to disk.

So a valuable info.
But perhaps it could be called "sizeInStack"?

[The LC 6 bitmap modes have modern variants. Deduce the math from there.]

LC uses (probably) the cairo library (doesn't support bitmap modes any more):

Re: LC902 and LC901 message box error was LC902 and LC901 Hang with Answer (was Crash

there was a bug once (8 series probably, can't remember) with the 
Message Box and then opening the Message Watcher crashing the IDE. I 
reported it myself. But i can't find it anymore at quality.


I believe it was solved then. Maybe there is a regression.

Re: SVG widget and grab me command

[Tore Nilsen via use-livecode]

My mistake, I meant handles, not handlers. The widgets are used to display 
chess pieces. The actual script «controlling" each widget/group is a behavior, 
where the script itself resides in a button script.

Best regards
Tore

That's exactly why I wrote ControlHandles: The approach doesn't
change any property of a control/widget.

Your approach does (grouping, scripting) ...

Re: SVG widget and grab me command

[Tore Nilsen via use-livecode]

Thanks for your explanation. Since my student does not need any handlers (in 
fact would not want any handlers added to the widgets), the examples from 
«ControlHandles89» could not be used.

The simple solution was to «group» each individual SVG widget and add the grab 
me command to the group.

Best regards
Tore Nilsen

I had seen this site, but was wondering about the other blend modes in LC.
Including the old (Legecy ones). Where do I find a mathematical description
of how these specific LC modes work?

Re: SVG widget and grab me command

Widgets are not ordinary controls.
So this is not a bug, rather a missing feature (the widget
author will have to implement an own "grab"-handler).
The widget passes mouseDown but not in a way that "grab" can
be used. MouseMove isn't passed (=> not usable) at all.

You could try "ControlHandles89" from "Sample Stacks" or
http://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/902/
which adds handles to widgets for resizing and grabbing.
(Or use a solution similar to that).

SVG widget and grab me command

[Tore Nilsen via use-livecode]

When one of my students tried to use grab me command in a mouseDown handler on 
a SVG widget, some strange things happened. In run-mode, the script did not 
work as expected. The widget would not move with the mouse. When switching back 
to edit mode, the widget started to move with the mouse once the cursor entered 
the rect of the stack. It was impossible to put down the widget afterwards.

The same thing happened when we tried to make the widget follow the mouse in a 
mouseMove handler. Has anyone else come across this?

As i use Table datagrid, pData is just the value of the cell, so with this 
script it’s work.

if GetDataOfIndex(the dgIndex of me, "email") <> "" then
 show btn  "sendmail" of me
 else hide btn  "sendmail" of me

Re: LC902 and LC901 Hang with Answer (was Crash)

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

I concur with HH. Mojave 10.14.3 is a most unstable "beast". I get different 
programs suddenly "winking out" some without a crash report, some that quit all 
of a sudden. How a small team is supposedly to keep with the Apple's vagaries 
is a good question.
