Re: Printing Woes

[panagiotis m via use-livecode]

Hello Dan,

Hmm interesting. I am wondering if it is a permissions issue / sandbox
violation. How did you distribute this standalone?
Was it via the AppStore?
I am wondering if you had to sign it with the printing entitlement
(com.apple.security.print)

Also, it might be worth checking the System Settings -> Security and
Privacy -> Privacy and see
if the standalone has requested any special permissions (check probably the
Full DIsk Access and the Automation sections).

Kind regards,
Panos

Re: Printing Woes

[panagiotis m via use-livecode]

Hello Dan,

Thanks. You can open the Console app (/Applications/Utilities/Console),
choose the current Mac in the Devices section (at the left) and filter the
logs based on the standalone app id. The logs are showing in real time, so
in your standalone app trigger a "answer page setup" command and check at
this point if anything "suspicious" appears at the logs, such as an
exception, an error or such.

Hope this helps

Kind regards,
Panos

Re: Adaptive Icon for Android

[panagiotis m via use-livecode]

Hello Klaus,

What have you chosen as a Foreground layer (image, clip art or text) and
what as a Background layer (color or image)?

In fact, I suggest you file a report in quality.livecode.com and attach the
sample stack and the icons so that we can investigate further.
If the stack/icons are confidential feel free to email them to me directly

Kind regards,
Panos

Re: Printing Woes

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Panos,

The common denominator seems to be a Macbook Air.

One client said:  "We are using on Macintosh computers (2021 Macbook Air and 
Mac Studio desktops) and are seeing that the Page Setup and Print buttons do 
not seem to do anything."

Another:  "I am getting more inquiries about teachers not being able to print. 
They can run RCM on their MacBook Air but they cannot print. Their macOS is 
10.14.6."

Another was on a MacBook Air (2017), macOS 12.6.

What do you mean by "Does the Console app show anything suspicious?"

There is a newer version available. Github lists version 5.1 released

Re: LC -> Applescript -> Chrome

[jbv via use-livecode]

If anyone's interested, I think I have found the
cause of my problem with Applescript in LC, and more
specifically with the "click at" command.
For months I've been using MouseTools as Terminal/shell
application to emulate keyboard and/or mouse events.
AFAIK MouseTools is pretty old and hasn't been updated
in ages, and a recent Mac OSX update might have made
its behavior erratic.
Therefore I have switched to cliclick (https://www.bluem.net/),
whose last update is from 2021 and that is much more easier to use,
and things have improved (as far as I can see).

Adaptive Icon for Android

[Klaus major-k via use-livecode]

Hi friends,

I try to create an adaptive icon according to the LC lesson:

LC 9.6.9 RC1, Android Studio 2021.3, macOS 12.6

However I get either:
the generic ic-launcher icon
or
an error from LC telling me that an icon was not found in:
AndroidManifest.xml

I do not seem to be a able to get rid of this "ic-launcher" stuff,
what am I doing wrong?


Best

Klaus

Hello Dan,

What is the MacOS version of the computers where "answer page setup" fails?
Do they have anything else in common? Does the Console app show anything
suspicious?

Kind regards,
Panos
