Re: How to suppress the Modal Purge dialog? -- Name space conflict

2021-09-19 Thread Tom Glod via use-livecode
Sorry, right you mentioned that in one of the paragraphs. but there is
a way to get all the stacks opened... but making sure that before a
stack is processed, the name is returned to what it must be to be exported
and work.

Just making the assumption that you can only process one open stack at a
time.

Or are the stacks all running code outside of being "opened"?

Re: How to suppress the Modal Purge dialog? -- Name space conflict

Hmmm...first thing that comes to mind.

Can you check if the same name is already open and then rename the existing
one before you try to open the second one?

How to suppress the Modal Purge dialog? -- Name space conflict

2021-09-19 Thread R.H. via use-livecode
Hi everyone

I have a need to programmatically open about 200 stacks, do something, and
the close them. In this case, for documentation reasons, I take a
screenshot from every stack, every card, and every substack and their cards
to export it.

My problem is that there are number of stacks that have the same stack name
(apart from a different file name), and loading them into memory (opening
them) sometimes creates a naming conflict if a stack with the same name
already is loaded -- and these are library stacks, etc.

The known modal dialog appears to allow to purge such stack. This dialog
seems to appear before even any error message could be intercepted.

Can this purging be automated and the dialog be suppressed? I found no way
(using the "try" construct, locking messages, etc.) to suppress this dialog
and just do the purge from script.

I assume that it could eventually be done messing with the strack in the
IDE that generates the dialog. But I do not really want to do this for
principle reasons.

Another way is to make sure that there are never same stack names (which
are only known after opening), but that is almost impossible to control and
might break certain stack relationships -- and I am not just talking about
my own stacks, but also stacks from third parties, and opens sources.

Of course, I can make sure that there are is never more than the main stack
in memory before opening any other stack -- except the IDE stacks. But in
my special case this is not a good solution as the app relies heavily on a
number of open stacks. At least, I am still trying to find a better
solution.

Maybe a good feature for future would be to support name spaces as in other
development environments so that such naming conflicts may be avoided.
Stacks and other resources could then share a name space, and then there is
only the need to have unique names within such name space. Some people
(including myself) already mimic this using prefixes to a name. But that is
just a starting point and difficult to control. The concept of name spaces
goes beyond that.

Any ideas ? )))

have fun...
Roland

Re: LC IDE Menu suddenly is slow / responds slowly

2021-09-19 Thread Tom Glod via use-livecode
Things seem better when the message window is closed . I also disabled
all the script autocompletion options.
So its one or more of those things.  Will test more later.

Re: IAP in App Store

2021-09-19 Thread J. Landman Gay via use-livecode
Even a note in the documentation would help. I spent two weeks trying to 
figure out the problem. Was it my store setup? The iPhone? My script, which 
was based on the lesson example? Did I set up my store products wrong? Just 
where should I look?


By the time I posted here I was a walking mass of frustration and my 
husband knew to hide in a closet.

Hey LC Team: This may be not merely a bug,
but also a "bad habit" in coding practice.
A habit that leads to multiple bugs.

I've seen similar "aborts" that halt execution
but otherwise fail without warning or info.

The LCS equivalent would be a tendency
to overuse "exit to top" in situations
where a "return" or an error bailout
would be more appropriate.

Perhaps only intended as a temporary placeholder
and forgotten, but either way, a better habit
would reduce the number of future bugs/glitches
that follow this pattern. Thanks

Hi Lagi

I'd suggest following the Lesson as the most straightforward route.  Let us
know if that doesn't work.
