Re: [off]sublimeText update

[Geoff Canyon via use-livecode]

One of the reasons (the only reason?) I don't do something like this with
Navigator is that there are at least a few people that clone the Navigator
repo directly. I'd rather have everyone (Except Brian!) using the same
exact form of Navigator rather than some using the version with script-only
stacks and the rest using binary.

But I agree that Navigator having a crap-ton of script-only behaviors is
cumbersome in the IDE if you're showing IDE stacks.

I don't know what version of Navigator you have, but you shouldn't have to
use the option key except when you want to clone something. If you're using
the latest version and pressing the option key after you start dragging
*doesn't* clone, let me know what you're doing; that's a bug. I just tried
it and I can't replicate it.

The Project Browser allows you to drag anything to any layer, in a group or
out, and will make it happen. I believe (although I have not looked at the
code lately) that it does this by setting relayerGroupedControls to true.
Evidence for this is the fact that dragging a control to the layer just
above a group -- just below the group in the Project Browser -- will place
the control into the group.



This is how Navigator used to work as well. Several updates ago I changed
Navigator to use a sequence of steps involving editing groups, and setting
relayerGroupedControls to true only if necessary, so that:

1. Dragging to the layer just above a group does *not* place the control
into the group; just to the appropriate layer.
2. Dragging to a layer *in* a group moves the control into the group, at
that layer.
3. The above works even with nested groups (just checked, and I'm very
happy with my past self!) Meaning that if you have this:

stack "Untitled 1"
card id 1002
|  group id 1011 (1011)
|  |  group id 1006 (1006)
|  |  |  button "Button" (1003)
|  |  |  button "Button" (1007)
|  |  |  button "Button" (1004)
|  |  |  button "Button" (1005)
|  |  |  button "Button" (1009)
|  |  button "Button" (1010)
|  |  button "Button" (1008)
|  button "Button" (1012)
|  button "Button" (1013)

And you drag button id 1013 just under button id 1009, you get this:

stack "Untitled 1"
card id 1002
|  group id 1011 (1011)
|  |  group id 1006 (1006)
|  |  |  button "Button" (1003)
|  |  |  button "Button" (1007)
|  |  |  button "Button" (1004)
|  |  |  button "Button" (1005)
|  |  |  button "Button" (1009)
|  |  button "Button" (1013)
|  |  button "Button" (1010)
|  |  button "Button" (1008)
|  button "Button" (1012)

Note that button id 1013 is now in group id 1011, but it is *not* in group
id 1006.

Holding the option/alt key is not needed for any of this.

Re: players misplaced & not functional on Windows 10

Those grey player bars look like you are using Quicktime for Windows vs

Re: Tree view widget for mobile use

[Brian Milby via use-livecode]

I’ve already submitted PRs in the 9.1 line but they don’t really address what 
you have requested.  I could implement 1 in a way that could be incorporated 
into the official version.  I could fork a version that hid a portion of the 
key on display for 2 as well.  3 would take some discussion.

The only other thing I am aware of is the new code that Trevor released with a 
tree view plugin for Levure (but could be used elsewhere with some effort).

Thanks,
Brian

Cross-platform media formats...

[Paul Dupuis via use-livecode]

I have compiled a list of formats supported by Apple Video Foundation 
(AVF) and Microsoft DirectShow (and Quicktime for both OSX and Windows 
for good measure), but I'd like to confirm this by asking if anyone one 
else (hello mothership?) has a list they are willing to share.


It gets complicated with different audio and video codec in the same 
general format (i.e. MPEG4), which is sad because MPEG was supposed to 
be a "Standard" and with everybody doing their own codecs, it really isn't

Tree view widget for mobile use

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

I'd like to use the tree view widget in a mobile app but the existing 
one isn't suitable. I need:


1. A way to set the textheight/line spacing to accomodate larger font 
sizes. The default size and textheight is far too small for mobile phones.


2. A way to allow entries to be displayed in a given order. It's okay if 
I need to add numerical indices, as long as they don't show.


3. Normal scrolling behavior for mobile devices. I can overlay a native 
scroller if necessary but a built-in one would save a lot of scripting.


If anyone is willing to tinker with the widget to add these things, 
there's some funding available.


Alternately, is there a scripted one somewhere already so I don't have 
to re-invent it?

Livecode 9 and Directshow...

[Paul Dupuis via use-livecode]

I am seeing a very odd behavior using DirectShow under LiveCode 9.0.1, 
9.0.2, and 9.0.3rc-1


I have a simple stack with a fixed size player and a few buttons to open 
various video files. The buttons just set the filename of the player to 
the selected file. The player is set to alwaysBuffer


When opening video in the IDE or built as a standalone that DirectShow 
supports like .avi and .wmv I get a white frame in the player and while 
the audio plays, I get no picture


Earlier, these formats played fine. The player object was resized in the 
IDE and subsequently, the white frame. Restarting LC or even restarting 
Windows does not change anything.


Has anyone seen anything like this? Any idea what may be going on?


PS to LiveCode, Ltd. IF you really want to make LiveCode 10 something 
spectacular, just make it so the same media formats play without issues 
across platforms! Dealing with multi-platform media is such a huge pain 
in the @ss!

Re: Ineffective lazy screenRect

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Ya know, I remember a good while back, several years, that in the process of 
debugging I would get into these unstable states. It was something in my code 
that was throwing an error, but the debugger instead of catching it and 
stopping at the line, basically looked like it completed. But it didn't. It was 
like a script was still running but I was able to interact with the UI to some 
extent.

Android and attachments

[Ludovic THEBAULT via use-livecode]

I've been told some bugs when you want to share a file (by « mobileComposeMail 
») from an application designed with Livecode (9.02) under Android :
With Google Drive, a zip file is saved without a name and extension but remains 
valid.
With Outlook, the same.
But with another application, no problem.

Where can this come from? The zip file is saved with the specialfolderpath 
("external documents") and the option "Write external storage" is enabled for 
the application.

Thank you for your lights!
