Re: [OT] new version of InstaMaker Windows /macOS Vine with support for x64 Installers

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Hi again,

this is my last post about this topic. I promise. ;)

I've updated the InstaMaker download files on the server and deactivated the 
previous links.

This are the new versions
macOS
https://dl.qck.nu/?dl=InstaMaker_macOS_Wine.zip 


Windows
https://dl.qck.nu/?dl=InstaMaker_Win_x64_Setup.exe 


Or just visit https://instamaker.dermattes.de 

Regards
Matthias

Printing Woes

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

I am getting several reports of clients that can't print from my Mac app built 
with 9.6.8.  When we call "answer page setup", nothing happens (and the result 
is empty).   It doesn’t happen on all computers... some work and some don’t.   
Anyone have any thoughts, insights or ideas?

-Dan

For polygrid

   set the pgdata of widget 1 to empty

For polylist

  set the datacontent of widget 2 to empty

BUT beware - on my trivial test, this appears to cause the last 
character of the header to be removed !!


I'll investigate some more and bug report it if it seems consistent.

 Dear all,
 
 i am happy to announce that an updated version of InstaMaker is available.
 InstaMaker is a Wrapper for Inno Setup, a free installer for Windows 
 programs.
 InstaMaker makes it easier to create Installers for your Livecode Windows 
 standalones with Inno Setup.
 
 What is new
 - InstaMaker now allows to create also installers for Windows x64 
 applications on x64 editions of Windows
 - A new Wine version of InstaMaker for macOS is available. It allows to 
 create the Windows Installers directly on macOS.
 
 Downloads:
 macOS Wine version
 https://dl.qck.nu/?dl=InstaMaker_1.0.4_RC1.app.zip
 
 Windows x64
 https://dl.qck.nu/?dl=InstaMaker_Setup_x64.exe
 
 
 I would be very grateful if someone could test the new versions

[panagiotis m via use-livecode]

Hello Klaus,

Nothing should have changed between 9.6.8 and 9.6.9 rc1 RE legacy/adaptive
icons.

I guess you see this difference because either of these has changed:

- the android device
- the android version on the same device
- the default launcher app
- something else :)

I believe that if you rebuild the same app with 9.6.8 you'll see the same
results as with 9.6.9 rc1 if you deploy to the same android device.

Kind regards,
Panos

Re: [OT] new version of InstaMaker Windows /macOS Vine with support for x64 Installers

[scott--- via use-livecode]

Hello Matthias,

I was away from my computer for while and so only recently able to test your 
latest build. Unfortunately I was unable to get either one of them to build an 
installer. 

First I tested the Wine packaged version of InstaMaker. Your custom icon 
appeared correctly. The drag and drop did appear to work but I was never able 
to get InstaMaker to finish processing. I was not sure if anything was  
reported in "show details” after listing the contents of the folder that was 
dropped because the InstaMaker window became unresponsive and never 
relinquished control. I had to “Quit WineCX"… which of course made it 
impossible to scroll the “show details” field. It did appear as if there might 
have been something reported as the scroll bar seemed to have a good bit of 
room to scroll.

Looking at the Apple utility “Activity Monitor.app” I notice that one of the 
(multiple) wine64-preloader processes continued to run and consume 4.5 - 5.5% 
of the CPU. After waiting some time  (5 or 10 minutes) I tried Quitting 
InstaMaker. This appeared to work although in one case the wine processes 
continued to be present in Activity Monitor. (In this instance, when restarting 
the computer, the wine64-preloader processes kept the restart from happening 
and needed to be force-quit.) I tested several times with similar "user 
results” (the installer didn’t build and InstaMaker appeared to be frozen with 
the indeterminant-progress indicator spinning. I restarted the computer after 
several of the tests but this made no difference.

I had a similar experience when running InstaMaker inside Parallels Desktop 
running a 64 bit version of Windows 10. InstaMaker’s indeterminant-progress 
indicator began spinning and that was it. I restarted Windows and tried again 
but with the same result.

I’m sorry that I don’t have happier (or more useful) information.

yes, perfectly, thank you!

So LC 9.6.8 did not behave as it should?
I mean the legacy icon looked as exspected on Android in 9.6.8
and I did not change anythings since then, read update Android Studio 
or something.

Re: "normal" Android app icon looks strange in LC 9.6.9 rc1

[panagiotis m via use-livecode]

Hello Klaus,

What you see is the expected result. In fact, this is the reason one has to
use adaptive icons. You can use adaptive icons for non Google Play Store
apps as well.

So, when you use a legacy icon, which is a square png, this does not
guarantee that the app icon in the Home screen will appear as a square
icon. If the app launcher shows all icons as e.g. circle icons, or as round
rectangles, then there are two possible outcomes when you provide a legacy
icon:

- either your app will stand out from the others (in a negative sense)
because it will appear as the square icon among circle icons
- or your app icon will appear as a circle that has the original square
icon in it.

I hope this makes sense :)

Kind regards,
Panos

"normal" Android app icon looks strange in LC 9.6.9 rc1

[Klaus major-k via use-livecode]

Hi friends,

the subject says it all, and here a screenshot:


LC 9.6.9 rc 1 on macOS 12.6.

I remembered a posting on this list, that one need to first click "Adaptive 
icon" 
and then back to "Icon" to force the correct creation of the icon from a PNG 
file.
Obviously this doesnt work

Anyway, can I also use an "Adaptive icon" if the app is not meant for the 
Google Play Store?
Not sure I remebered correctly in this respect.


Best

Klaus

Do you ship your app as a 64-bit windows exe?

I wonder if its just a limitation of the library we use when compiled 
for 32-bit archs...

I thought you had nailed it as we build both 32 and 64 bit Windows EXEs 
and I might have been testing the wrong one, but I just rebuilt the app 
using LC 9.6.8 for 64-Bit Windows only (turned off the 32 bit build) and 
retested and get the same error as in the bug report occurs. ZIPs under 
2GB unpack fine. Over 2GB produces the error "ziperr,Can't open file: 
Unknown error" as the result for calling revZipOpenArchive pArchive, 
"read" where pArchive is the filespec.


I think we'll just add a file size check on Windows and advise that that 
customers will need to use a OS or 3rd party ZIP tool to move their 
research data if over 2GB.


For many of our customers, this will never be an issue as their total 
research data will not even come close to 2GB. Some of our customer are 
using video data, and for them, a single video source (used for their 
research) can easily be over a GB itself or even over 2GB by itself. A 
research study can consist of several (or many) such sources.


Unfortunately, with multi-mega pixel phones these days making capturing 
a lot of video very easy more researchers are using large video files in 
their research.
