Re: Svg Icon Tool

[Brian Milby via use-livecode]

I think what we probably need is simply:

set the hilitedItemSilently of widget 1 to 1
Or
set the hilitedItemWithoutMessage of widget 1 to 1

This would allow more elegant solutions to many of the raised issues.

Thanks,
Brian

Re: Svg Icon Tool

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

the two things that are glaring, imho are
* [preHiliteChanged](https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23207) -
someone taps on a selection. i do a check, throw up a "nope", and nothing
changes. this one is preventing me from moving off of the tmControls navbar.
* autowidth to the card width.
but there are several others, as well
https://quality.livecode.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=navigation%20bar&list_id=105904
listen, i get it. i need to re-learn lcb and actually use it.
but i also have force powers, so i know that someone is going to do these
things, before i do, and then i won't have to.

RE: Svg Icon Tool

[Ralph DiMola via use-livecode]

Mike,
I have used my own version of the navbar widget for years. I added an option to 
enlarge/vertically justify the icon if there is no label and eliminated the 
"new item" thingy. I think the stock widget already lets you select the zero 
option. I added that back before the stock widget let you do it. What 
changes/enhancements are you looking for?

I also have LCS routines to store the navbar options as a custom property 
array. I have handlers to add/delete/change option text and icons via script 
for a contextual UI. They are not documented or polished but if there is any 
interest I will look into it.

Thanks Ralph, that looks interesting. I see:

if ${condition:expression} then
   ${-- true code:statement}
else # ${condition}
   {-- false code:statement}
end if # ${condition}

Not sure how to use that but I will research. Thanks.

In the edit=>options of the SE there is an option to turn autocomplete

Hi all. 

I just submitted an enhancement request to create a new global property of
keywords to exclude from the SE Auto-Complete feature. The reason is,
whenever I type "of me" in the SE, I get suggestions for mergeDeploy, and if
I hit tab to reformat the script or to move to the next parameter of an
auto-complete suggestion, it replaces "me" with the first mergeDeploy
suggestion. There are other scenarios I've run into as well. 

Also, I looked in the SE preferences for auto-complete, but did not find an
entry. There is one for Auto Format, but that enables/disables the
auto-indent feature. Hopefully they are not both enabled/disabled by that
one check box.

Exclude Keywords from Auto-Complete

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Hi all. 

I just submitted an enhancement request to create a new global property of 
keywords to exclude from the SE Auto-Complete feature. The reason is, whenever 
I type "of me" in the SE, I get suggestions for mergeDeploy, and if I hit tab 
to reformat the script or to move to the next parameter of an auto-complete 
suggestion, it replaces "me" with the first mergeDeploy suggestion. There are 
other scenarios I've run into as well. 

Also, I looked in the SE preferences for auto-complete, but did not find an 
entry. There is one for Auto Format, but that enables/disables the auto-indent

Unfortunately I am unable to login to the forums (again) as the saved password 
I have for it no longer works. Also, if I ask for the activation link to be 
resent, both emails I would have used along with the only user name I use for 
everything (slylabs13), results in Account Not Found. Submitting a password 
reset on either of the two emails never sends a password reset email. Trying to 
register from scratch with slylabs13 as the user name generates an error that 
the user name is already in use!

I am then advised to contact the administrator, but there is no link I can find 
on the forums page for an administrator.

So far, I am unusually calm. Normally I'd be cursing and swearing by now. :-)

Re: Sorting [was: Polygrid sorting]

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

oh, i love this topic. this onion is so, so thick.
since you are throwing in the curveball of on-demand column sorting, i have
several suggestions (and these are just my suggestions):
the obvious one is to use one of the bajillion ways that LC can sort,
right? grab the data (if you don't already have the data in a container
that you're using to populate the widget), sort it, put it back
the less obvious is to do what i end up doing in many of my apps (because
everything i write, now, is mobile), and that is have a local sqlite or
mysql db. keep all the data that you retrieve from the server in there, and
use the local copy as the data source. i do that because i can't guarantee
network connectivity, but i want my apps to run, anyway. in that case, my
sorting is still done in my db - my local cache. plus, if my app exits,
crashes, loses the focus, device reboots, etc., i want it to come back in
exactly the state it was in when it left, which is something that's easy to
do with a local db.
then there's using the local command line, because every OS has a sort
routine you can call.

Re: Sorting [was: Polygrid sorting]

[Paul Dupuis via use-livecode]

So what if you use the column headers on a PolyGrid (or whatever) to 
give the user a UI for sorting by column (adding, or not, sort arrows to 
the header labels).


Is it still more efficient to re-query the database with the new, user 
chosen, sort order and repopulate the PolyGrid?


Or more efficient to just resort the data already populated into the 
grid in the desired order the user has chosen? I suspect this later is 
the more efficient case unless you are sure you have a fast network and 
server with low latency and no competition for bandwidth.


As always, people's use-cases for these widgets vary widely. That is why 
the more versatile a widget is the often (but not always) the better it is.

Although, as long as we're having this discussion, the navBar is higher
priority, so hit that, first.

Re: Svg Icon Tool

[Brian Milby via use-livecode]

You are welcome!

Good idea.  Just one file needs to be copied (SvgIconTool.livecode) to install. 
 If you ran it once and imported families, then you can copy or move the 
milby.us folder to retain the settings (I actually link that folder so I can 
run as a plug-in or from the repo and use the same settings.)

Thanks,
Brian

Thank you very much for this great tool.

Maybe you add some information to the readme.md what files/folders from the zip 
have to be copied to the plugins folder.
