Heather, thank you for making us aware of Hermann’s passing. I find his work 
amazing and so very inspiring. Your announcement helps make this a richer

Re: Keeping soft line break and using clipboard data

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

LC uses ascii 11 as a soft break. If you can replace the character in the clipboard with ascii 
11 it would probably work.


On 12/4/20 6:18 AM, R.H. via use-livecode wrote:

I am using Windows 10, LiveCode Indy 9.6.1

Here is a question I tried to solve using clipBoardData, fullClipBoardData
and rawClipboardData. I am aware that there is nothing in Livecode that
represents soft line breaks, for example as a Unicode character (unless I
could not find anywhere). But I need to preserve such existing soft line
breaks since I need to copy text from a word processor into other programs
that support such soft returns.

For example, in most email apps the key-combination Shift-Return breaks the
line, but it is not a hard LFCR (depending on platform) and the paragraph
is not touched. It HTML it would be a " instead of .  But pasting
such text into LCS will only convert those soft returns to hard returns.

So, I thought to use the clipboard, getting the binary data of the text
file (UTF8-encoded including soft returns) with an URL(binfile:),
encoding them in one way or the other, and the user will then be able to
paste the copied text including those hidden soft returns into the target
application. In this way, I hoped to circumvent the LCS text representation.

Unfortunately, I did not get it to work one way or the other. Is it
possible at all? Did anybody ever had such a need and solved it?

Re: Printing To Pdf Linux Rendering

[Sean Cole (Pi) via use-livecode]

The printer driver for PDF on Linux (CentOS) is handled by the LC inclusion
of the Cairo library into the engine (as I understand it). There are no
printer drivers other than Cups. I have updated Cups to the latest versions
available and there is no difference.

Dear List Folks,

I have today received some sad news. I am told that Hermann Hoch passed away in 
April this year, from a stroke. I know many of you knew him either remotely or 
having met him in person at a conference. He will be missed. I met him myself 
and found him to be a wonderfully warm and kind person. He could be volatile, 
but I always felt it was because he cared passionately about things.

I will take what steps I can to preserve his legacy of HTML5 examples. As these 
are hosted on an on-rev account we should be able to maintain it in perpetuity 
for the benefit of the LiveCode Community.

LiveCode HTML5 didn't always meet his expectations or progress as fast as he 
wanted it to and I do wish he could have seen our next planned release, where 
HTML5 support will be a focus. He was of great benefit to this community and 
shared his expertise freely.

I'm not sure what else I can say. Rest in peace hh, you will be missed :(

oh, this is really sad news! :-/
Farewell, Hermann, mach's gut!

Oh, I am shocked. I deeply felt condolences to his family and friends.

I had a chat with him at the beginning of the year, and I was thinking of
calling him since he seemed to be grumpy that we did not follow up fast
enough to meet his demands. Now this... (

Yes, he was brilliant. May he have fun looking at us from above...

I think we all have been dazzled by what Hermann was able to do with LC HTML5. 
Our community has been enriched by Hermann and many others for whom LiveCode 
and the idea of “coding for everyone" is a passion. He will be missed. 
Condolences to his family.

As others have noted, we also remember other LiveCode late-greats: Mark Smith 
and Eric Chatonet. I’m sure I am forgetting someone, but their legacy lives on 
in their generous contributions to the LiveCode developer community, Thanks to 
all who continue to keep their work available.

Just yesterday I was reading some of Hermann’s posts in the LC archive
that were very helpful to me.

We’ll miss you Hermann!

Re: Some sad news

[Bernard Devlin via use-livecode]

That's very sad news. I'd noticed he had been quiet on the forum. HH made
some truly extraordinary contributions. Just a few days ago I was just
looking at his Jigsaw HTML5 app, and was astonished at what he had
achieved.  He might not have been happy with the limitations in the HTML5
standalone, but he pushed what could be done to the max, inspiring many of
us to look at what was possible rather than on what was not possible.

I've never been part of an online community for so long that I've seen half
a dozen great contributors pass away. HH always went the extra mile with
any problem in our community where he got involved.  He will be missed :(

Re: Double Clicking on a Field

[Tore Nilsen via use-livecode]

Try this in the script of the field:

on mouseUp
   —do your scrolling thing
End mouseUp

on mouseDoubleUp
   — do your navigation between cards
End mouseDoubleUp

Best regards

Re: Double Clicking on a Field

[Brian Milby via use-livecode]

Why do you need to use double tap?  The code should distinguish between a 
scroll and a tap and react appropriately.  The mobile scroller code in common 
use should facilitate this.  If a double tap is really needed, then it would 
probably need to be included in that same behavior script.

The big thing that you will need to do is create another handler to take the 
action.  Using mouseUp will probably be harder than needed (would need to use a 
flag of some sort to know when to ignore it).  Jacque’s method is a 
doScrollerTap handler that the scroller code calls.  DelayTouches will need to 
be false since you will be handling this yourself (and only works on iOS 
anyway).

Re: Some sad news

[Martin Koob via use-livecode]

This is sad news.

Hermann  was a LiveCode Pioneer and such a great resource to LiveCode users and 
LiveCode itself pushing at the boundaries of what you can do with LiveCode and 
HTML 5 and as Heather mentioned pushed livecode staff to realize more of its 
potential.  

He made so much code freely available to other users showing us possibilities  
we may not have realized and was always ready to assist other users with 
questions on the list.  I am glad to see that legacy is being preserved.

This reminds me of another LiveCode pioneer Mark Smith who passed away too 
young.  His work has been preserved as well.
http://marksmith.on-rev.com/revstuff/
http://www.pdslabs.net/the-mark-smith-collection/

I think it would be good to have a way to commemorate people like Hermann and 
Mark with something like an annual online  lecture or award presented annually 
to other pioneers or contributors to the LiveCode in their honour.

Double Clicking on a Field

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

I want a user to scroll the fields. If a user sends mouseup, simply scrolls the 
field. It does not react.  It is locked.

But if the user double clicks on field, it reacts.

Basically it goes to another cards, taking with it a single Title in the list, 
on a double click of the field

If I try

If double-click then
   # code
End if

It does not work…

Keeping soft line break and using clipboard data

[R.H. via use-livecode]

I am using Windows 10, LiveCode Indy 9.6.1

Here is a question I tried to solve using clipBoardData, fullClipBoardData
and rawClipboardData. I am aware that there is nothing in Livecode that
represents soft line breaks, for example as a Unicode character (unless I
could not find anywhere). But I need to preserve such existing soft line
breaks since I need to copy text from a word processor into other programs
that support such soft returns.

For example, in most email apps the key-combination Shift-Return breaks the
line, but it is not a hard LFCR (depending on platform) and the paragraph
is not touched. It HTML it would be a " instead of .  But pasting
such text into LCS will only convert those soft returns to hard returns.

So, I thought to use the clipboard, getting the binary data of the text
file (UTF8-encoded including soft returns) with an URL(binfile:),
encoding them in one way or the other, and the user will then be able to
paste the copied text including those hidden soft returns into the target
application. In this way, I hoped to circumvent the LCS text representation.

Unfortunately, I did not get it to work one way or the other. Is it
possible at all? Did anybody ever had such a need and solved it?

Some sad news

[Heather Laine via use-livecode]

Dear List Folks,

I have today received some sad news. I am told that Hermann Hoch passed away in 
April this year, from a stroke. I know many of you knew him either remotely or 
having met him in person at a conference. He will be missed. I met him myself 
and found him to be a wonderfully warm and kind person. He could be volatile, 
but I always felt it was because he cared passionately about things.

I will take what steps I can to preserve his legacy of HTML5 examples. As these 
are hosted on an on-rev account we should be able to maintain it in perpetuity 
for the benefit of the LiveCode Community. 

LiveCode HTML5 didn't always meet his expectations or progress as fast as he 
wanted it to and I do wish he could have seen our next planned release, where 
HTML5 support will be a focus. He was of great benefit to this community and 
shared his expertise freely. 

I'm not sure what else I can say. Rest in peace hh, you will be missed :(

Heather

Re: Trying to use the Segmented Control

Bernd thanks, at some point I just wanted to do away with
the shortcomings of the segmented control. Though modifying
the segmented control might have been a better approach.
