Has the 'convert' command bug been reported in the Livecode Quality Center?

Hi Mark, Thanks for your response.
I understand.
I will try to reproduce this in an empty stack and submit report.
Thanks,

A user is reporting crashing on his M2 Sonoma Mac.

This was a build of LC 9.6.10, with both Intel and Apple chosen in the  
Standalone settings.

It did not crash with only Apple chosen, though there were script errors that 
did not happen with non-M2 users (M1 is OK). I haven’t been able to debug that 
since I don’t have an M2 Mac.

Has anyone used LC with M2?

Property Inspector bug for keys with commas in the key name

[Paul Dupuis via use-livecode]

This bug (https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23512) where a 
comma in the key name of an array prevents the Proerty Inspector from 
being able to edit the property just bit me again.


I have a stack (for help) that extensively uses keys with commas (create 
prior to the Project Browser and new PI) that I can not edit except by 
script - which is a pain in the (you know what).


Does anyone have an edit to the PI code for this OR an alternative PI 
that does not have this bug?

Re: Direct editing of polygrid text cells and polylist text elements

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

sorry, i hit "send", too quickly.
focusOut and inputEndEditing would go in the "edit" field, and i think that
would get rid of the need for the cellClick handler in the pl/pg. the
cellClick handler will only manage clicks inside the pl/pg, not elsewhere
on the card.

Wouldn't it be great if ALL widgets would receive and handle at least a

I have always wondered why that is not the case.

This way scripting would be a lot easier for us and we do not have to 
remember the many different messages
the widgets have. Yes, they can be seen in the script editor on the left

Examples:
PolyGrid -> cellclick
PolyList -> itemclick
Segmentedcontrol -> hilitechanged
Switch Button -> hilitechanged
Radial Slider -> valueChanged
Navigation Bar -> hilitechanged
Line Graph -> receives NO message at all?

Maybe I forgot one or two things here, but I think you get the picture.
Thank you for your opinions.

Re: Possible enhancement request

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

for good or bad, the lcb style guide section on events as excerpted, here

says
that those events are recommended, but not required.
in many of those widgets, it would also be nice if there was a way to
intercept the click, and decide what to do, before it is just done.
that's part of what led to the birth of the "navrad" widget - intercept a
click in the navbar and decide whether the hilite should be allowed to
change or not, instead of changing the hilite first, and then undoing it if
it should not have been allowed.

Re: [[ ANN ]] Release 9.6.11 RC-1

[panagiotis merakos via use-livecode]

Hello Mike,

Yes, the time to try Sonoma has come :)

BTW, to all you folks trying Xcode 15 - here is something you should note.
We have included this in the Release Notes, but I put it here as well:

*Note: *In Xcode 15.0.x, and possibly in future versions as well, the
required iOS runtimes (iOS 17.0 in this case) are no longer included in the
Xcode app bundle, and they have to be installed explicitly. You can do so
by opening Xcode and going to Xcode -> Settings.. -> Platforms and then
find row iOS 17.0 and click GET .

If you do not do this ^^, you will not be able to build a standalone for an
iOS device or the simulator.

Cheers,
Panos

Re: Direct editing of polygrid text cells and polylist text elements

i think you might need to add an on focusOut handler, because the user may
choose to click outside of the field, and if the app is on mobile, an
inputEndEditing handler
this is bringing back 1980's memories, with how we had to hack controls to
do the same thing in hc...

Re: [[ ANN ]] Release 9.6.11 RC-1

[Heather Laine via use-livecode]

It'll be to do with having using manual activation. I think that will get saved 
to your preferences file, which is shared among LiveCode installations, so 
you'll see it go to manual activation instead of automatic, if thats the way 
you've previously activated.

At least that's my understanding of how it all works :)

Re: [[ ANN ]] Release 9.6.11 RC-1

When I installed 9.6.11rc1 (win64) and launched Livecode, after 
accepting the terms of service, I got the license authentication box, 
but it did not have my email or password (from all my other installed 
versions of Lievcode) filled in and was set to manual activation


Now, I did recently manually activate a VERY old version of Livecode 
(4.6.4) on my computer, so it could just be me. Did anyone else run into 
this? If so, I'll file a bug against 9.6.11rc1, otherwise I'll assume it 
was just me.

Re: Direct editing of polygrid text cells and polylist text elements

[panagiotis merakos via use-livecode]

Hello all,

You can write a script for that. Just add a PolyGrid and a field, set the
name of the field to "Edit" and add this code:

Add this in the script of the field "edit":

on enterinfield
   hide me
end enterinfield

on returninfield
   hide me
end returninfield

on textChanged
   set the pgInternalPointer of widget "PolyGrid" to the cCoordinate of me
   set the pgTextOfCell of widget "PolyGrid" to the text of me
end textChanged

Add this to the script of the PolyGrid:

on cellDoubleClick pCol, pRow, pRect
   set the rect of field "edit" to pRect
   set the text of field "edit" to the pgmousecelltext of me
   set the cCoordinate of field "edit" to  pCol, pRow
   show  field "edit"
   --focus on field "edit"
   select after  field "edit"
end cellDoubleClick

on cellClick
   hide  field "edit"
end cellClick

Now just double-click on a cell to edit it.

Kind regards,
Panos

Re: Filter with wildcards

[Neville Smythe via use-livecode]

Users should certainly never see regex! That’s covered in User  Interface 
Guidelines 101.

But surely you wouldn’t show them the LC wildcard filter either!

When I originally went down the wildcard route, I wrote some gentle text 
preprocessing (using replace) to make sure words are always bounded by a space, 
including before punctuation and at an eol.

I also need users to see the reason  the message appears in the results (i.e 
the matched filter) so  they are listed under a heading consisting of the 
search term.  Not sure what users would make of regex!

Thanks again,

Cheers

Re: Modify timeout for shell function

Hi Mark,

That's helpful, thank you.

An install which runs daily and makes a number of calls using the shell

I'm not sure where this timeout is defined; I'm not totally sure where this 
message is coming from (the shell? LiveCode? the process that was invoked 
through the shell command?).


Definitely not LiveCode - LiveCode runs the shell process until it ends on all 
platforms its implemented on (I'll leave it for another day to ponder whether 
there should be some sort of timeout to account for rogue/hung processes!)


Assuming for a moment that this isn't a timeout internal to the process that 
I happen to be invoking, is there a way in LiveCode, or in shell 
configuration, to modify this timeout?


Doing a quick google for variants of "The process ... exceeded the timeout of 
10 seconds" - then there are various results relating to Laravel - which is a 
PHP framework. So are you shell'ing to PHP? If so my guess is that whatever 
PHP script you are running is using sub-processes too, and has a process 
timeout set to 10s.


Warmest Regards,

Mark.

Re: decrypt error junk

[Mark Waddingham via use-livecode]

On 2023-11-02 02:06, Tom Glod via use-livecode wrote:
I have found a "wrong decryption key" that does not return a bad 
decrypt

error, but returns garbage into "the result".
Every other wrong key correctly gives the usual error.
The right key works to decrypt.


What exact error do you get with a wrong key vs the not-so-wrong key?


the length of the encryption/decryption key is always 64 characters
it is always alphanumeric, because its a hash derivative, no weird
characters, always the correct length.
and the salt is the same for every key i tried.

I can program around it, but its unsettling.
I will report it, but in the meantime has anyone ever come across this
garbage in "the result" as a result of an incorrect. decryption key?


So I don't think this is a bug, but expected behavior.

The encrypt/decrypt operations are very low-level they 'simply' apply 
the specified

algorithm to the data.

Encryption/decryption is 'just' a mathematical function which uses the 
'key bytes'
and 'input data' to derive an output - in particular, decryption does 
not include
any validation checks to ensure the provided decryption key is what was 
used to

encrypt in the first place - that's something you have to do yourself.

There's a huge variety of ways to do this - but perhaps the simplest is 
to add your
favorite (simple) hash of the encryption key before the data being 
encrypted:




(pseudo encryption code - I don't know exactly what form of encrypt you 
are using!):


  local tKey, tHash
  put deriveMyEncryptionKey(tPassword) into tKey
  put md5Digest(tKey) into tHash

  encrypt tHash & tData using ... with password tKey

(pseudo decryption code - I don't know exactly what form of encrypt you 
are using!):


  decrypt tEncryptedData using ... with password tKey

  if byte 1 to 16 of tData is not md5Digest(tKey) then
throw "incorrect password"
  end if



Of course I'm now slightly intrigued as to what checks OpenSSL *can* 
actually do to
be able to generate a 'bad decrypt' message - so by all means file a 
bug/send a test
stack to support and we can at least advise on that (and potentially 
update the

docs).

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
