I can't see how Livecode can replace the XPDF external with the PDF 
Widget UNTIL the PDF Widget provided all the functions the External does 
(and it does not). Well, of course they could drop the external even if 
it does a bunch of thinsg people depend on that the Widget does not, but 
it would just be bad of them to do so!

Re: Where is the pdf external in LC 9.6 and 10?

2022-05-18 Thread Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode
Ah thanks, Paul.
I copied already the xpdf from an older LC version to LC 10DP3.

But good to know that it will be back. XPDF allows me to get the imagedata of 
the currently rendered page and 'export' that as image.

IDE Property Editor for Custom Properties error

2022-05-18 Thread Paul Dupuis via use-livecode
This bug probably won't impact many people, but I just reported bug 
https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23712


In older versions of LC you could have custom property keys that had 
commas in them, such as a key like "topic,subtopic" for a online help 
system. The current (and recent) property inspect tries to convert 
custom property keys with a comma into arrays! Just thought I would 
raise this on the list for anyone else who might be impacted.

Re: Movie text tracks

2022-05-18 Thread Devin Asay via use-livecode
Sorry, I left out the punch line.

My original need was simply to extract the text tracks from the old .mov files. 
It turns out you can do that, after a fashion, with QT Pro, but it comes out 
with lots of binary cruft. I found out you can also do this with ffmpeg, the 
Swiss Army Knife of video tools. This website explains how:

https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/403944-Extract-and-convert-QuickTime-7-Pro-TextTracks

Neither method was perfect, but both were good enough for what I wanted.

You can copy it from the 9.6.5 of earlier to the ccorresponding folder 
for LC 9.6.7. For example, on Windows it is C:\Program

Good to see you here, Devin.

If your app can handle the RAM hit of embedding a browser app instance 
with the Browser Widget, and if you can extract the text track info from 
QT's proprietary format, HTML supports text tracks nicely via the WebVTT 
standard:

In the LC player object you can still see that there is a text track with `put

text tracks, either in the player object or in QT Player. All of the hits I get 
on the topic in a DuckDuckGo search are 15 - 20 years old.

Anybody know how to show, or at least recover, old text tracks from video files?

Oh well, at least it will do for now until we have

Re: Set HTMLText and Get Effective HTMLText

2022-05-18 Thread Bob Sneidar via use-livecode
If I may add something to this, the reason why the syntax did not throw an 
error at compile time is because the compiler does not know whether or not 
VarHTMLText is a variable that contains the value "field HTMLTextField1" or the 
name of any object to be precise. If it did then it would be valid syntax. I do 
this all the time for DataGrids, as I can have datagrids on different cards in 
different stacks with the same name, eg. "dgCustomers". 

So I script 
put the long id of group "dgCustomers" into tGridID

Now I can script 
put the dgHilitedIndex of tGridID into tIndex

HTMLTEXT is a property of FIELDS, variables do not have this!
Presumed VarHTMLText is a variable.

I would think it is because the htmlText is a property of a field. It is one of 
the properties that it inherited by any field.  The variable does not have this 
property.

Set HTMLText and Get Effective HTMLText

2022-05-18 Thread Rick Harrison via use-livecode
This works:

set the HTMLText of field "HTMLTextField1" of this card to URL VarURL


This doesn’t work:

set the HTMLText of VarHTMLText to URL VarURL

(The syntax is accepted fine, but it throws the following error at execution 
time.)

Chunk: error in object expression



This works:

get the effective HTMLText of field "HTMLTextField1" of this card


This doesn’t work:

get the effective HTMLText of VarHTMLText2

(The syntax is accepted fine, but it throws the following error at execution 
time.)

Chunk: error in object expression


Why?

Thanks for your insight in advance!

Hi Sean,

Incredible to see what HH did.
That is way over my head.
And so is LCB.

Actually, HH had put up this on his site and kept open for us kindly.
https://hh.on-rev.com/widgets/svgtext.html

At the bottom he describes that it is possible to use SVG to define paths
for the text. How good are you at LCB in being able to manipulate what he
had achieved here?

There is a better way to do this using LCB. If you don’t mind waiting I can 
pull something up. I’m out of office at the moment so can’t get to my files.

Hi there,

I posted a curved text example (with use of the browser widget) on the
forum:
https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=120&t=37027

It works ok but still not satisfied with transparency.
Maybe someone has a better idea on how to do that?
