Re: [ANN] Release 9.0.4 RC-1

Hi Clarence

Did you download RC-2? There was a significant regression in RC-1 that we 
reverted for RC-2.

Cheers

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

Same here. I've been debugging all day, which was usually when I got 
crashes, and it's been solid and steady without a single hitch. Layout, 
internet access, SVG, debugging, not a single problem except the ones I 
made for myself. (This is a talent I have.)


Thank you team!

LC Server on OSX Mojave - Local host & sites

[Keith Clarke via use-livecode]

Hi Folks,
Is there a recipe more recent than the LC Server on OSX lesson that covers the 
Mohave Apache environment setup to recognise Sites URLs in localhost - now that 
Apple has hidden point & click web sharing facilities?

I have localhost working but get "The requested URL /keith/Sites/test.lc was 
not found on this server.” for http://localhost/keith/Sites/test.lc 


Any clues gratefully received.
Best,
Keith

I'd considered that actually. I'll give it a go, since it's better than 
redoing the layout and changing the design principles we've already

Re: MouseMove less responsive in 9.0.4

On 4/2/2019 8:23 AM, Michael Kristensen via use-livecode wrote:

Hi there

Could you please investigate to determine if it also is true for you



I created a test stack with a 32px square button and the following card 
script:

onmouseMove pNewMouseH, pNewMouseV
putthelocofbtn "box" intotLoc -- h,v
put(pNewMouseH - (item 1 oftLoc))/2 intotdh
put(pNewMouseV - (item 2 oftLoc))/2 intotdv
setthelocofbtn "box" to(item 1 oftLoc + tdH, item 2 oftLoc + tdv)
endmouseMove

Which just causes the box button to follow the mouse around the card. If 
low latency/lag, the box should stay close to the mouse pointer. If high 
latency/lag, the box should take longer to follow the faster you move 
the mouse since it closes on the mouse position by halving the distance 
between them.


I can see no appreciable difference between 9.0.3 and 9.0.4 rc2 on an 
average Windows 10 laptop.

Hi,

maybe this is of interest for the one or other.

Openlink Software started their Spring Sale and are offering for example

their single tier ODBC Drivers (Mac/Win/Linux) for 99,- instead of 299USD.
The license allows you to install it on any of those operating systems. Some 
month ago i´ve payed 99,- for an upgrade for only Mac OS X.

Not being able change color, which is available in LC SVG widgets is a

have control over the color in LC.  You can set color in the svg text

You can just do what the 'Import Control...' feature does when given an

We're adding support for 'currentColor' in SVG fill/stroke attributes

Then you will be able to set the backColor of the image object you

Re: Hit Box for widgets

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

True, I spent much of last night tracking down some original SVG files so I 
could make a color change. Still, it was worth it to be able to have a 
flexible hit zone.


Importing an SVG turns it into an image object, so you have the same 
constraints as with any image. That's why the original widgets won't work, 
they need the conversion. There are commands to do that but they won't 
account for a color change so you'd need to export them, make the changes 
in a text editor and reimport anyway.

The trick was just pointed out to me recently here on the list. You can now
"import as control" an SVG and treat it like any other image. It's genius.
Import the SVG, hide it, and assign its ID as the icon of a button. The
icon will be the same size as you make the SVG and the button itself can be
as large as you want.
