compressed. I textDecode them and replace the returns with LF. The file
that fails has some weird characters that don't translate correctly
using textDecode(,"UTF8"). Firefox has no problem getting the
file and displaying it as text, but does show the strange characters.
The same file opened in BBEdit doesn't have a problem, the characters
are translated as curly quotes.
I don't know if these will come through on the list, but here are examples:
“interlude.†-- beginning and ending curly quotes
name’ -- single curly quote
Would these hang a download? It's the only difference I can find between
the one that works (no quotes at all) and this one.
BTW, after textDecoding, LC throws an errors for codepointToNum on the
second example ("error in expression"), and says the curly quotes in the
first example are either 0 or 1770 (an Arabic glyph.)
I'll ask the client to upload a zip file and see if that will download,
but I don't think LC will translate the characters correctly anyway. If
it helps, the original files were exported from FileMaker.
Update: the error is because there are actually three codepoints. When I
decode them individually I get what came through on the list:
226 - 8364 - 339
Latin Small Letter A With Circumflex - Euro Sign - Latin Small Ligature Oe
Which still isn't a curly quote.

Re: Help with Pasting of RTL languages into a field
Paul: > When I paste in RTL text (Arabic for example) > it is incorrectly Left aligned. The Dictionary may take a little poetic license with textDirection behavior; text renders inline per the rules, but I think par align is still up to the coder. You could detect the Unicode block when pasting.

Re: Question for LCB FFI workshop attendees at upcoming conference
Hi, It will be sad, a great loss or even a travesty if the worshops are not recordered somehow. Even if by using a couple of mobile phones for good sound and "so so" video. The simulcast won'rt be anywhere near as useful as it could be without these Workshops. If the slides,text, resources etc ultimately become available that could go someway towards mitigating the situation, and not waste of all that programming wisdom by limiting it's access to the wider community. We still haven't got our 2000 widgets after nearly 4 years, and I will let others decide why this is - I have my own opinions. Any Workshops - whether Monty's, Marks Ali's or yours - should be recorded (I hope people in the audience don't have their phones confiscated for making "bootleg" copies). If LC wants an extra pound of flesh then so be it - but "Say it ain't so".

I have slowly (far too slowly) been trying to develop my LCB expertise to wrap Sphinx, but the C side of things (building the DLLs and where to place them was stumping me). I am pretty sure, with the files in the right places and the minimal interface working, I can add functionality to a Pocket Sphinx library widget. -- Paul ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Resize Stack Sent Everytime a Stack Opens?

This ended up being a really good example to work on. I was hoping to just grab the precompiled DLL for it but the downloadable version has a bug in it and would just exit whenever I tried to use it. With Mark Waddingham's help (a lot of it) I now have a basic version working on both macOS and Windows. Even the macOS version required some interesting steps so that the dylibs (pocketsphinx and sphinxbase) would only load the dylibs in the extension's code folder. Wrapping the code was also an educational experience and has a number of teaching points that I will bring up in the workshop. For those of you who offered up other suggestions - I took a look at the pages you sent but I didn't see any obvious C interfaces and they also look like much more involved projects. FFI will not work with C++ right now. -- Trevor DeVore ScreenSteps www.screensteps.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Resize Stack Sent Everytime a Stack Opens?
I put a "breakpoint" into On resizestack x,y, Breakpoint [snip code] End resize stack At least on Android, this being called every time the stack opens. But it doesn't mention that in the dictionary OTHO If you turn for phone sideways (to "landscape") it is not called. Even though this is in the dictionary (which implies that it is called) The orientationChanged message is sent before any automatic interface rotation takes place thus changes to the orientation lock state and allowed set can be made at this point and still have an effect. If you wish to perform an action after the interface has been rotated, then either do so on receipt of resizeStack or by using a command.. ?? ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Android needs 64 bit builds
a minor thing probably i noticed. The 9.1.0DP1 jumped to 9.5.0DP1. Is this a typo? or do have to wait longer? Just asking.

So the problem with running on the pi isn't with building form arm devices, but with interacting with the pi os? I believe it is largely an issue of getting the build configuration and toolchains correct for cross compiling for armv6hf. Although given Pi 3s are arm64 but Raspbian is still armv6hf I guess we would need a build for a number of archs (armv6hf, armv7, arm64) depending on what OS people are running. For us there is the extra step of getting it all setup on vulcan to build and package etc. Ouch. I didn't realize raspbian was still armv6hf, although it makes sense for older hardware. That thickens the plot a bit. I'd certainly settle for an arm64-only build of the LC engine, but shoehorning it into an arm6hf os seems dicey. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
