Re: Buying a used apple to run ios simulator.
First, it is around 9 years old, it can't run Catalina and i am 90% sure it cannot run Mojave. Sometime in the near future you will no longer be able to upgrade to the latest version of XCode at which point you will need a new Mac. It is possible that you already cannot run it. So, if you want this to last a few years it may not be the best model. - Occam's Razor: other things being equal, simpler explanations are better than more complex ones Mad Pink's Blunt Object: complex, convoluted, and more entertaining explanations are better than simple, well-reasoned and boring ones On Wed, Jan 15, 2020 at 1:22 PM Tom Glod via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Hi peeps, > > I need to run the ios simulator and build ios apps, so I have to buy an > apple mac. > > I have 0 plans to use it for anything else, so I am buying refurbished. > > Will this system work?

Re: Changing extention on script only stack
My need for external editors is mostly for Windows (again, the Windows machines I use are very very old). I also like reviewing and editing code on my iPad when I am on the go, so having external scripts is useful even when I don't have LC running. What else am I going to do at a red light? but I also have gotten used to using Atom and love it because it is highly customizable, I can just do a lot from within it that I can't do in the built-in editor, I can pull and push from Github, I can leave myself bookmarks and use macros... it's terrific... and faster the only reasons I ever use the built-in script editor is for watching variable values, debugging, breakpoints and stepping through scripts... and I hate when I have to do that because of its performance Honestly, instead of asking the LC team to beef up the built-in editor, I would rather they work on providing those debugging capabilities and other features with external editors. Ditch the built-in editor for a more seamless integration with Atom (I would argue it is the best option since it is cross-platform and free.) Heck maybe it just needs one single good Atom plugin to catch signals from Livecode similar to the remote debugger. Since I have no idea how it really works I am just assuming it would be easy to modify ;) And if I am making whoever is in charge of the built-in editor cry, you are still loved, and we'll try not to get rid of you On Tue, Jan 14, 2020 at 5:08 PM Richard Gaskin via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Bob Sneidar wrote: > > > Let's remember this is just Windows we are talking about.

Re: Changing extention on script only stack
ScriptTracker was definitely the tool I needed. I didn't need an external script for any reason other than faster editing.

Re: Mad Pink's Ultra Deluxe Control Panel Uber-Widget
the mixed control set is most definitely still in progress... even when configured correctly it has bugs in the way user input works I hadn't thought of a width property, but it's a good idea if you can give me a step by step of how you got errors with the icons, it would be helpful THANKS!

Re: Changing extention on script only stack
I could just copy the script into the stack script at build time, but I was hoping not to. Here's the story... this particular program is being developed on a painfully old and slow machine. Livecode's script editor works horribly on this machine, there is a horrible lag in typing and cutting, copying and pasting are at best hit or miss. Using an external program to edit the main script is the only productive way to edit. I was hoping not to have to switch around too much at compile time, especially if I have to undo it when going back to editing. Being able to change the extension for script in the built version would be the best option. On Wed, Jan 8, 2020 at 1:37 PM J.

Mad Pink's Ultra Deluxe Control Panel Uber-Widget
I've been meaning to share this with the community for a while, but life and work have been getting in the way. I haven't been able to work on it in a while I've been working on this widget for a while and it needs more work and testing. Actually, this started off as a group of individual widgets, but there was so much code overlap among them I decided to combine into one. There are a number of fixes I still need to take care of and a number of features I am still planning on adding. I am, however, already adding it to programs with success. Going forward, I am working hard not to make property or control changes that will break existing implementations (as we've all done in the past), I already have a few systems in place to prevent property calamities, so feel free to stat using if you like it. Releasing under CC BY-SA 4.0 license. This widget is a panel which can hold a variety of different kinds of controls, each individually customizable. Any number of controls can be added to the panel. Control types to date are: -Button bar/grid: groups of buttons that can be used as action buttons (posting a message), single selects (like radio buttons) or multiple selects (similar to checkboxes) -Button wheel: circular wheel with buttons and capabilities similar to the button bar -Switches: clicks a value true or false, animation pending, currently just looks like a checkbox -Sliders: you know, they slide and change a value -Progress bars: essentially sliders with a handle to grasp -Dialog/text box: one of those pesky little text displays telling you stuff -Numeric Up/Down Adjusters: a value with 2 buttons that increment or decrement said value There are default properties for each control that will be used, however each control (e.g. button, switch etc..) can be configured with its own colors, icons, fonts and such. Other features: -"Bottom buttons" (a group of up to 3 buttons at the bottom of the widget which can be used for "OK," "Cancel," and "Reset" type features. These buttons post a message to be scripted by the user) -Form backdrop (essentially a set of labels on which you can add fields) -Overlay mode (draws a box of a set size and then the rest of the widget is transparent/translucent... when stretched across the entire card it forces user input before anything else can be touched) -Controls, color schemes and properties can be saved and loaded as "sets" to allow one widget to quickly change what controls you are viewing -SVG paths can be stored for use in controls There are a plethora of other things I am working to add and enhance including: -allowing for a mix of control types in the same panel -control pages with tabs to navigate through them -Output display box, which can present some form of text, number, calculation etc.. when there is interaction on the control panel -need to find ways to optimize the code some more, especially in redrawing The widget can be found here: https://github.com/madpink/mp-livecode-controls In addition to the source code, I have a packaged extension file and added a "Control Test" stack which I've found helpful for trying to break things. There is a wiki with instructions which I would also love feedback on. I've already got a list of issues piling up as you will see. I have a planning board that is full of my own idiosyncrasies and may not be intelligible to normal people, so view at your own risk. So far I have only tested this widget in MacOS and Windows applications, I have not tried it out in Linux, Android or iOS apps.
