RE: Local files in browser widget
I was looking at my code that works. I move the file into the documents folder
and do "file:"&the documents folder&slash&"mydoc.html"

I didn't, but there are no spaces in the file name.
But I've just found something interesting. Devin was right, I don't need any
slashes to read the resources folder in the apk. But I can't use it as a URL in
a browser. I can use it to copy the file from the resources folder to the
documents folder, but it fails if I directly set the URL of the browser widget.

Re: import from multi-page png, and automating pdf-> png
You can use gimp to automate the conversion of pdf's to specified output file formats/sizes. This is good for batch work. xpdfreader also has some good utilities/functionality depending upon what you are trying to do.

import from multi-page png, and automating pdf-> png
As I’m trying to get a temporary workaround for the engine pixel-rendering a pdf widget rather than including the pdf, I have a two part question: 1) is there a straightforward way to batch convert pdf to png of specified density? 2) for a multipage png, is there a “decent” way to use import to get a chunk of a specified page, or do I need to know the pixel height of the page and do the math? — Richard E.

Thanks Devin, but unfortunately it still doesn't work. Capitalization is

Still no go.

Re: Question about "the screen" property of stacks...
Thanks Mark. I was playing with this to try and determine how to get a stack window to move to a position where it is fully visible on the screen it belongs to. Turns out not to be trivial, at least not for me. I worked out the math, and was feeling pretty proud of myself, until I realized the primary monitor may not be to the left of any secondary monitor. I then realized a second (or third) monitor may not even be right or left, but might be top or bottom! At this point my brain blew a fuse and I gave up. ;-) There may be a command like get the screenLoc of screen 2, but I was not able to find it in the dictionary. That would be a handy edition. To that end, here is a function that will do it: function getScreenCenter pStack -- pStack must be the name or the filename (not the short name) of a stack put the screen of pStack into tStackScreen put line tStackScreen of the screenRects into tScreenRect put item 1 of tScreenRect + ((item 3 of tScreenRect - item 1 of tScreenRect) /2) \ into item 1 of tNewStackLoc put item 2 of tScreenRect + ((item 4 of tScreenRect - item 2 of tScreenRect) /2) \ into item 2 of tNewStackLoc return tNewStackLoc end getScreenCenter Bob S > On Jul 11, 2019, at 10:08 , Mark Waddingham via use-livecode > wrote: > > On 2019-07-11 17:17, Paul Dupuis via use-livecode wrote: >> The screen of stack X returns the number of the monitor (the line >> number for the screenRects) that the stack/window is on. > >> If someone from the mothership can verify, I would be happy to open a >> doc bug, update the dictionary, and generate a PR for an update to the >> screen property Dictionary entry to clarify these two points. > > The engine compares the content rect (not effective!) of the stack to the > working area of each screen and takes the screen with which it shares the > most area (the intersection of the stack's rect and the working area rect > of the screen is a rectangle - and its the area of that which is used). ___ 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: Gzip in HTML5
Nothing directly/manually. The "need" for Gzip is meant to speed up serving the HTML5 standalone. This is done (after configuring the .htaccess file) by the server. The standalone builder gives you the files exactly as you need them. What you can change to your taste is the html file connected to the standalone. Here is the pdf of a talk I gave in 2016, the second part contains an example customized html file and moreover (on page 15) some hints how to optimize serving html5 standalones using Gzip/Apache: http://hyperhh.org/html5/community/LCD-01f.pdf Compare your serving speed to the speed of the last samples of http://hyperhh.org/html5/ (which is optimized) using Safari. If have here a loading time of at most 7 seconds for the first time and 4 seconds when using the same LC version.

Bug Inconsistencies with AWSS3 commands

Gzip in HTML5
Is there anybody who can tell me which files and folders I have to Gzip in HTML5 app. ? The doc says you have to Gzip the engine. What do they mean by engine, considering that the biggest folder is the JavaScript one.

tsNet and AWSS3 questions
I have posted this on the forums and have not got any response. ‘ So I am trying on the use-list. I am changing from using mergAWSS3 commands to using the new AWSS3 commands in LC 9.0.4. I have two questions about how tsNet and the new AWSS3 commands work together 1. It seems I need to use tsNetGetStatus to monitor progress on uploads and downloads with AWSS3PutObject and AWSS3GetObject. If I use tsNetGetStatus do I have to call tsNetInit first? Does this just have to be called one time when the application opens or each time tsNetGetStatus is called? 2. In my application I used mergAWSS3Cancel to give the user the option to be able to cancel downloads or uploads that were taking too long or appeared to be stuck. I don’t see an equivalent in the AWSS3 commands nor in the tsNet commands. Is there a way to cancel a tsNet operation in progress? Thanks for any input.

J,
I don’t think you need the slashes after file: at all. (“file:” &
specialFolderPath(“resources”) & “/tFolder/tFile.hmtl”) should do it.
Also check case on folder and file names. Case matters in mobile file systems
in my experience.
