localization/localisation/ of LC Community version's GUI?

[Nicolas Cueto via use-livecode]

In short, if my aim is to translate LC Community's GUI (for youngish
Japanese students learning to program) , where might I start?

Now, if something terrifyingly named "GitHub" should be part of the answer, all
I know about that is it's a discussion start-off point for LC "gurus", plus
a cue for me to leave the room.

And, of course the Forums got a thorough going-thru. Couldn't find much,
tho. One thing was, to emphasize that I am NOT after localization of the LC
script language. As confusingly happened to Forum thread "Multi-Lingual
LiveCode?
"
(Craig Newman, April 2014). Though that thread was nonetheless useful,
especially for its introduction of a multi-lingual translation project for
Telegram .

Also on the Forum, though unrelated to the GUI, was Forum topic "Android
app localization
"
(Max V, May 2013). Especially when the ever-helpful Brian Milby stepped  in,
advising to (or, at least, I think he was?) modify LC stack's themselves
(e.g., revSaveAsStandalone, revCommonLibrary). BUT that's not what I'm
after? or is it? I don't know. Like I say, all very new.

In either case, GitHub familiarization or LC stack modifications, please!!! a
lot of hand-holding and stating the obvious.

As always, thank you for any advise---perhaps including a mnemonic for
"advise [v.?] vs. advice [n.?]".

Re: get an overview of all scripts (e.g total lines of all scripts) of a stack

Don't forget that you can iterate over the keys if you need them:

repeat for each key tStack in tStacks

or over the elements if you don't need the keys:

repeat for each element V in tStacks

Re: Remain on First Card Whilst Sending Messages to Second Card

That should not be happening simpy because you send a message to a card. 
Something must be going to the card. Lock screen will help but there are 
certain circumstances I have learned much to my dismay that unlocks all screen 
locks.

WANTED: Codecs for DirectShow and LC9xx

[Paul Dupuis via use-livecode]

WANTED: Recommendations for free to distribute and use codec for use 
with DirectShow and LiveCode 9xx under Windows.


I have found that the range of media formats DirectShow supports (out of 
the box) in LiveCode 9xx (when compared to earlier LC versions and 
Quicktime for Windows) to be staggeringly limited!


I love LiveCode, but cross-platform media playing is awful compared to 
say around the time of LC7 or 6


So, I am seeking any recommendations of free to distribute and use 
codecs for DirectShow/LiveCode 9xx under WIndows that expands the 
formats DirectShow can handle.


Mothership (i.e. LiveCode, Ltd.) you should watch this thread and if 
there are any, author and feature them in a prominent help article on 
your web site OR even better, add them into the Dictionary!

I recently finished transitioning ScreenSteps to 64-bit on macOS. I decided
to move all externals that my company maintains to extensions written in
LiveCode Builder using the Foreign Function Interface. I didn't want to
have to worry about compiling them in XCode ever again. As a benefit, in
most of my cases I find it is easier to add new features to LCB code than
to externals. It was a bit of work but I'm glad I did it.

Heh - yes I perhaps should have taken the opportunity to mention that...

32-bit support on Mac is very very near being terminated (it would seem) 
- whilst 32-bit apps
do still run in 10.14, they've made it virtually impossible to switch an 
app
which has both slices to run in 32-bit mode, and (perhaps worse) almost 
impossible
to switch an app which was previously marked to run in 32-bit mode back 
to running

in 64-bit mode!

So - probably best to ensure that any apps which need to run on Mojave 
and future

macOS versions are built and work in 64-bit mode.

Mark.

Re: LC 9 and Externals

Mark,

Thank you for the reply!   Yes, it is a Mac External.  If I change the IDE to 
run at 32-bit, then I assume that it will produce apps that are 32-bit.  If 
that's true, then that's really not a solution as Apple is requiring that all 
apps be 64-bit.   I am probably going to have to have this external rebuilt, 
right?

LC 9 and Externals

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Greetings!

I have been using an external in my projects for literally over 10 years.  I am 
updating a project from 8.1.5 to the latest version of LC, 9.0.3.  Suddenly, 
it's not working.  I tried it in 9.0.2, 9.0.1 and 9.0.0 same thing.  I tried it 
in the last version of 8 (8.1.9) and it worked perfectly.  Clearly, something 
changed in how externals are handled in LC 9.  Or, have they been retired?  
"Externals" still appears in the dictionary.  Does anyone have any insight to 
using externals in LC 9?

FYI, it's working in LC 8.X. -- the stack is closed when the external paths are 
set, I am verifying that the external exists, etc.  It's working in 8, what 
changed in 9?

What am I doing? Good question. I’m doing a lot of text editing and formatting

rtfText files to the desktop. But there are definitely no scripts to navigate

Drag-and-Drop with Desktop files

[R.H. via use-livecode]

Sub-Subject: Detecting user selected files/folders in Windows and other
OSes.

I like to refer to the last message from -hh (see reference below)
regarding Windows possibility of detecting selected items (folders, files,
icons as such) on the Windows Desktop. The solution -hh already provided
when items are selected in any Windows Explorer. The Desktop is not part of
that and basically a special Windows ListView control.

It is correct that items selected on the Windows Desktop are deselected
when another window is becoming active. So, using LiveCode would not work
this way.

What could work though is a service that is running in Windows OS and
detects selected items of the Windows Desktop and their status of type,
selection and position, etc. The service could be started when opening
LiveCode and shut down when closing it. Data would be saved to a temporary
file.

So, switching focus to the LiveCode window would allow reading the temp
file with the list of selected items that have been selected BEFORE the
user activated the LiveCode window.

It is too much of a hassle at the moment for me writing such a program that
runs in the background. Nevertheless, for C/C++ and C# there are some code
fragments around that are public and doing just that.

For my clients, it is a very good solution to be enabled now to select
files/folders and read their path into LiveCode. For Desktop items in
Windows, I just tell them to move them into a folder and select them within
this folder (which is then an Explorer window). So, that works with scripts
-hh provided.

THIS IS MORE CONVENIENT THAN DRAG-AND-DROP of files/folders even though I
also support drag-and-drop plus the standard file/folders selection window.

Many thanks again. And I hope the same will work on MacOS and Linux as -hh
also provided solutions there, and I saw others providing. (I am not using
both others OSes since my clients are 100% Windows only.)

--But there is NO method to get the selectedItems from the virtual desktop
folder.
--Moreover, as you may notice, the selected items are deelected when you
activate

--The only workaround I can see (besides using an answer file dialog or
dragDrop) is:

--1. launch document specialFolderPath("Desktop") --> open desktop folder
in explorer
--2. User should select the files in that window.
--3. Use the already working method for explorer windows.

Re: App rejected - add parental gate

[Andrew Bell via use-livecode]

I had a student submit an app that got rejected for the same reason.  
To gain approval he presented a grid of 9 random numbers  
(7,19,603,73,29,200,etc.) and asked the end-user to select values that  
were "multiples of 3" (603,29,etc.). This was deemed an appropriate  
age-gate for his audience and intended outside activity (post to  
Facebook).


He stopped developing and the app has been removed from the App Store  
(never was updated for iOS 11), so there isn't a good way to see his  
example.  
https://appadvice.com/app/the-adventures-of-marie-and-best-buddy-africa-part-1/935339249


All 3 of those examples that Apple gives seem pretty easy to script in  
LiveCode. Bigger problem may be determining what is age appropriate.

Subject: App rejected - add parental gate

Hi there,

An app update was rejected due to the fact I ticked the ?Kids  
category? in the initial version of the app. In the app they can  
share an image outside the app. The current quidelines say I have to  
add a parental gate now.

Is there anyone who has an example on how to do this?
https://developer.apple.com/app-store/parental-gates/

Greetings,

William

Re: Remain on First Card Whilst Sending Messages to Second Card

[dunbarxx via use-livecode]

Hi.

There is no way that LC navigates to the other card at all, unless you have
done something that tells it to.

I make a new stack with two cards, with a handler in the card script of cd
2. On cd 1 I have a button that sends a message to cd 2, invoking that
handler, and I can see the results. All well and good. All happens with cd 1
staring at me.

This is normal, always has been. There is no "automatic" navigation.

What are you doing?

Craig Newman

AW: who has experience with mp4 videos on windows?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB via use-livecode]

Hello Hermann,

if I would start from the scratch today, it probably would be worth a try,
but I think I don't like the idea to reengineer my program with 20.000
videos and a lot of special functions related to the videos. It's just two
years ago I had to dump the QT player and re-code all videos :)

Why not use the future: HTML5 video tag, in a browser widget or a HTML5
standalone?

AW: who has experience with mp4 videos on windows?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB via use-livecode]

Hello Nicolas,

thanks for your idea, but my app doesn't updates the codec.
But nevertheless, I just found a newer version of the LAV filters - worth a
try.

Tiemo,

My advice is probably of no use but...

Could it be the solution is updating the codecs?

What you described reminded me very much of "MX Player" updates (a popular
video player for Android). Every time after an update, some videos open up
with no sound and a "This Audio Format AC3 Is Not Supported" error  message.
Updating the codecs is always the
(irksome!) solution; licensing issues, I think?

Anyway, my 3 yen's worth... which is what's hanging around in my wallet
now... and getting rid of 1-yen coins is only a little less of a pain than
Googling for the latest codecs.

who has experience with mp4 videos on windows?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB via use-livecode]

Hello,

I still have trouble playing mp4-h.264 videos on some windows machines since
some time. I have installed the LAV-filters, which work fine for h.264 on
windows. Where my program can play my videos on most windows machines
without any problems, there are some single computers, where the video
screen just stays black and nothing happens. (tested with/without
buffering).

 

This occurred with LC 8. Building a standalone with LC 9.0 my same program
could play the videos immediately. And now again, my same program without
any changes, build with LC 9.0.2 doesn't plays the videos on some machines
again anymore. 

 

This is very annoying for some of my customers, when they accept my
automatic update and the programs doesn't plays the videos anymore after the
update.(Playing videos is the essential task of my program)

 

I discussed this already with Panos in Sep. 2018 and his guess where two new
header includes in w32-ds-player.cpp(d3d9.h and vmr9.h)in LC 9 what have
made it work in LC 9. But now in LC 9.0.2 the videos are broken again on
some computers and I guess the headers are still included. This is very hard
to track down, because either Panos nor me can't reproduce this issue.

 

Is there anybody, who also works with mp4-h.264 videos on windows?

Any experiences? Any ideas what to check for?

 

Thanks for any ideas

Tiemo
