Re: Publishing Mac Apps

[John Balgenorth via use-livecode]

I think that makes it easiest and safest for
the end user.  If you did  not code sign the
app they could probably still use it but it
would be a hassle.

Publishing Mac Apps

[Bill Vlahos via use-livecode]

If I want to distribute Mac apps should I get a $99 Apple Developer account and 
Notarize them? I don’t anticipate putting apps in the Apple App Store?

Are there other considerations or options to avoid problems as Apple continues 
to enforce more restrictions?

Thanks,
Bill Vlahos

Design Question

[William Prothero via use-livecode]

Folks,
I’m refining an application I used to teach Plate Tectonics when I was a 
working prof. The application’s core is access to Earth data (that scientists 
used to develop the theory of plate tectonics) and capturing and annotating 
plots that can be incorporated into student writing.

I am adding features that give the student (and teacher) more direction about 
how to use the material. The final student product would be some kind of short 
writeup with figures, that presents student results of their exploration using 
the data in the application. The major goal is to have students learn about the 
process of doing science and writing about their results.

However, I am thinking hard about how to proceed. It seems the effort to make 
this app work with learning management systems would be huge, something I’m 
definitely not up for. Yet, an assignment with text and figures needs to be 
packaged in some way that is easy for students to use, but can be transmitted 
to the teacher (who will make comments, assign a grade, and return it to the 
student) in some efficient way. What I’m thinking, at the simplest level, is to 
export the text and figures of the student’s work and let the student create a 
final product using word, Pages, google classroom, or some other application I 
haven’t thought about  but which they would normally have access to.

I’d love to have any of you teachers’ ideas and/or experience with great ways 
to proceed.

Thanks,
Bill

Re: Downloading LC9

[panagiotis merakos via use-livecode]

Hello Sean,

*>>and also the script editor is not opening at all from any stack card
or object*

this sounds like a symptom of corrupted Preferences, please try deleting
your LC preferences in /Users/{username}/Library/Preferences/RunRev/*

Regarding the slow download speed- seems to work fine for me here, maybe it
was an intermittent issue?

kind regards

Panos

Downloading LC9

[Pi Digital via use-livecode]

Hi

I’ve been getting weird errors in MacOS (Catalina 10.15.7) where LC is saying 
there is a script error in a data grid of the startup window and also the 
script editor is not opening at all from any stack card or object. So I’ve 
decided to delete and reload LC. But the download is taking FOREVER. I’ve tried 
different browsers, restarting macOS, downloading via windows but I’m only 
getting 100kbps max. I did a speed test and have 300Mbps download capability 
but LC remains stupid slow. 

Anyone else get this too?

Re: Enabling "About MyApp"

[Bill Vlahos via use-livecode]

This seems to be a bug in 9.6.1 for MacOS. Add a case statement for just 
“About”. The case statement for “About MyApp” won’t be recognized.

Thanks to Elanor at LiveCode for pointing this out.

Bill Vlahos

Standing by ready to apply dope slap.

No dope slap necessary - it's not really obvious.
The menuItems are stored as the text of the button, so you can get and set it 
easily.

put button  into tText
-- edit tText here
-- you can do a lineOffset and delete line x of tText
put tText into button
