What DNS to use with QUARTZ

[Klaus major-k via use-livecode]

Hi all,

see subject, looks like I lost that info somehow.

And no, currently I use 9.9.9.9. (Google) must have 
changed that some time ago, no idea why... 8-)

Thanks for any hints!

Confirmed here on macOS 10.14.5.  The CPU load is indeed quite dramatic 
with modal dialogs.


I also checked on Linux (Ubuntu 18.04), and LC does not exhibit the 
problem there.

ICS Generation

[Peter Reid via use-livecode]

Has anyone got a calendar library for LiveCode? I'm developing an app, part of 
which exports a handful of events to do with ordering regular medication. I'd 
like to export an ICS format file containing 3 all-day events titled something 
like the following:

1. MEDS RUN-OUT TODAY
2. COLLECT MEDS
3. ORDER NEXT MEDS

What I'm looking for is either a full calendar library that I can use to 
generate such a ICS file, or the minimalist version, ie just enough calendar 
support to generate this minimal ICS file - nothing more complex.

Anyone know of anything suitable?

Thanks

Peter

Re: Modal stacks cpu usage

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

I’ll weigh in here. I have noticed at times my Mac becoming slow and extremely 
laggy to input. Quitting all my apps, including LC seems to resolve it, 
although I never dug in any deeper. (Honestly I thought it was a Chrome or web 
page issue and I am used to those.) Next time I see the issue I will dig 
further.

Re: ICS Generation

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Ditto. I would LOVE to be able to not only WRITE events but READ them too. On a 
Mac I could probably AppleScript it (given a LOT of time doing almost 
exclusively research and trial and error) but on Windows I think it becomes a 
lot more difficult/impossible without a real C compiled API. Microsoft does not 
have a method for communicating with their apps like they did long ago. Anyone 
who uses ACT can testify to that. There was a time when to use the ACT Outlook 
plugin the user had to be an administrator.

Re: ICS Generation

[Alex Tweedly via use-livecode]

I don't know of one - but the minimal version (i.e. all-day events only, 
no repeating events, no multiple timezones) should be really trivial. If 
no-one comes up with something in the next day or two I'll try it as my 
weekend project.


Bob - if you want to interact with calendars, take a look at Bill 
Vlahos's library as Matthias pointed out. If you want to read (i.e. not 
write) ICS files I have a library for doing that - let me know and I'll 
check if it works with recent versions of LC and send it to you.


And if you are even thinking of programming something with times/dates, see
