Re: Copying text in boxes to clipboard
Jacque's suggestion for PDF printing is excellent. That will get you a file.

Charles, try something like this: An area of your card holds the fields you want to copy. Put that rect of that area into variable myFieldRects Calculate the width of that rect and place it into variable myRectWidth Calculate the height of that rect and place it into variable myRectHeight Now here is where improving the resolution comes in. By using the ‘at size’ parameter you can essentially ‘enlarge' the image you capture. Just put amount of the enlargement you want into variable multiplier. Let’s say 10 times. So altogether we have: Put "20,100,700,150" into myFieldRects Put 680 into myRectWidth Put 50 into myRectHeight put 10 into multiplier put the windowID of this stack into winID export snapshot from rect(myFieldRects) of window winID at size (myRectWidth * multiplier),(myRectHeight * multiplier) to myimg as JPEG set clipboarddata["image"] to myimg Paste into, say, a Word doc. Now change multiplier to 1 - that will give you an ‘unbenlarged’ image. Now paste that into the same Word doc and look closely at the difference in resolution. You could try 'as PNG', too.

If you put LF into char 15 of line 1 of fld 1 the appearance of Fld 1 doesn’t change, neither does its the htmltext. Yet the result of running your script does change.

Re: Scrolling Groups on Mobile - Show a little of what is below
Some mobile UI’s, when first showing a scrolling list that extends below the visible area, will slightly “bounce” the list contents up then back down. This does double duty.

How might LC support interactive and interruptible animations as shown in this video on Advanced Animations with UIKit? https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2017/230/ <https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2017/230/> This capability is generally applicable to any animation using UIKit. Even non-moving transitions, such as blurring, are supported in an interactive way. If supported by LC, it would be useable beyond just moving from card to card or swiping out a sidebar. But of course, the particular capability shown in the video is OS-specific. Whereas LC strives to be platform agnostic.

Swipe transitions
It would be cool if LiveCode could tap into underlying OS animation functions. For example, at WWDC 2017 Apple showed how UI KIT can support interactive and interruptible animations. These are very handy for doing smooth and interactive transitions. LiveCoders are used to building things like transitions between screens. But more and more OSes offer ever more sophisticated animations and transitions at the OS level. Users will expect the real things rather than facsimiles. Admittedly LiveCode may have a difficult time supporting such native features, especially as OS vendors seek to differentiate themselves with unique features without direct correlates on other OSes.

But can’t you have an unseen card with all the icons as image objects referencing image files ON DISK. Then simply set the icon of each to the ID of the appropriate image. For example, create a new image set its filename to “some>path/hand_icon.jpg” set the icon of button “hand” to the ID 1003 where 1003 is the id of the referenced image. In this way there is no ‘copying’, ‘importing’ or ‘relinking’ needed. And if you don’t want to deal with remembering IDs just name the new image, say “hand_icon’ then set the icon of button “hand” to the ID of image “hand_icon” (optionally - "of card ‘myIcons’") Jim Lambert ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

That’s right! tabwidths are handy for this hiding too. But I realized Tiemo might not even need to bother hiding the otherData if he takes advantage of another property of fields - the metadata property: set the metadata of line 1 of field 1 to otherDataString set the metadata of line 2 of field 1 to otherDataString2 A field’s metadata is never visible.

As much as I like arrays, in this case you might consider an ‘old school’ approach. This approach will only work if the stack is writable and that 'plus some data per key’ is just text. And the approach is - keep everything in the scrolling list field - including the OtherData. No arrays, no writing files. Set the tabstops to a number greater than the width of the field. Set the itemdelimter to tab. Then put the OtherData of each line into the second item of each line. As long as there’s no horizontal scrollbar on the field the user will never see the OtherData. Getting item 2 of the hilitedline will always give you the corresponding OtherData for the word the user has selected. Your drag and drop routines should still work. Just remember to save the stack each time the user rearranges the line order.

Because LC ‘backgrounds” can be smaller than the card, checking the target or using ‘within’ would be needed to constrain actions taken to the rect of a background group. And since multiple backgrounds are possible, only the script of the topmost background seems to be inserted in between the card and stack in the message path. One must click directly on objects within other, lower background groups to trigger its handlers.

mouseMove & backgoundBehavior
Make a group that is smaller than your card. Place this in the group’s script: on mousemove newMouseH, newMouseV put newMouseH, newMouseV end mousemove When the cursor moves around within the group the current mouseLoc is put into the message box. When the cursor moves outside of the group the mouseloc is no longer placed into the message box. Next set the backgroundBehaviour of the group to TRUE. Now wherever the cursor is within the CARD the mouseLoc is placed in the message box regardless of whether the cursor is within or without the rect of the group. The dictionary states, "The mouseMove message is sent to the control the mouse pointer is over, or to the card if no control is under the mouse pointer.” It is true that a background group is not 'officially' on a card (rather it’s on the background in HyperCard parlance.) But why would the mousemove message get passed to the card when the mouse is outside of the background group containing that handler? Is this a bug or expected behavior?

Re: Import or export snapshot at current scaleFactor
Terry, Try this import snapshot from ObjRef at size (the width of ObjRef * scaleBy),(the height of ObjRef * scaleBy) Where ObjRef is the object whose snapshot you want to import and scaleBy is the scaling factor. So something like: import snapshot from grp 1 at size (the width of grp 1 * 2),(the height of grp 1 * 2) If that produces an the image you need just change the command to an export snapshot command.

Re: Cheesed off by 32xxx
A little fancier.
on mouseup
put token 2 of the value of the clickline into MAGIC
put baseConvert(MAGIC, 16, 10) into WAL
put 0 into KOUNT
lock screen for visual effect in rect (the rect of grp "BOXES")
repeat for 128 times
set the label of btn ("B" & KOUNT) to numToCodepoint(KOUNT+WAL)
add 1 to KOUNT
end repeat
put the short name of me into fld "RANGE"
unlock screen with visual effect "scroll right" very fast
end mouseup
on populateMe
put "" into me
lock screen
put the number of buttons of grp UNIlist into nBtns
repeat with x = 1 to nBtns
put the short name of btn x of grp UNIlist into line (nBtns +1)
- x of me
end repeat
end populateMe

Re: Cheesed off by 32xxx
Richmond,
You could give this a try.
Drag a scrolling list field onto the card.
Name it ‘UNIlist’.
This will eventually replace for group ‘UNIlist', which contains your
problematic number of buttons.
Put this in the script of the scrolling list field ‘UNIlist'
on mouseup
put token 2 of the value of the clickline into MAGIC
put baseConvert(MAGIC, 16, 10) into WAL
put 0 into KOUNT
lock screen
repeat for 128 times
set the label of btn ("B" & KOUNT) to numToCodepoint(KOUNT+WAL)
add 1 to KOUNT
end repeat
put the short name of me into fld "RANGE"
end mouseup
on populateMe
put "" into me
lock screen
put the number of buttons of grp UNIlist into nBtns
repeat with x = 1 to nBtns
put the short name of btn x of grp UNIlist into line (nBtns +1)
- x of me
end repeat
end populateMe
Now execute "send populateMe to the field UNIlist” in the message box
Now click any line of the scrolling list field ‘UNIlist’.
The scrollingligst field should be able to hold considerably more than 1400
lines.
Result: de-cheesement!

Now that I think about it, I’ve overcomplicated things. You don’t need two fields at all. Just set the liststyle of the field that contains your editable text to ‘decimal’. Then the lines will be automatically numbered and outdented. Yet conveniently, the ’text’ and the ‘styledtext’ runs will not ‘contain' the numbering since it is a styling. Of course, this still doesn’t allow you to get rid of the trailing period on the numbers.

JSONImport does it.
If the escaped string is not in JSON format this function will wrap it in JSON
then let JSONImport do its thing.
put deEscape("Eduardo Ba\u00f1uls")
function deEscape pEscapedText
put "{'1':'**dummy**'}" into temp
replace "**dummy**" with pEscapedText in temp
replace "'" with quote in temp
put JSONImport(temp)into pArray
return pArray[1]
end deEscape
Roundabout but does the trick.

Instead of "click and drag through the letters to highlight a word", have the user click on the first letter of their word, mouse through the intervening letters, and finally click on the last letter of their word to end their word discovery process. That way you entirely avoid having to track the mouseloc while the mouse is down. Use the first click (mouseup) to begin ‘recording’ the user’s word discovery. That will tell you letter #1 of their word. Then use subsequent mouseenters to track which letters the user moved into next and the order of entry. That will tell you the rest of the letters in their word. Use the next click (mouseup) to end their word discovery process. Then you compare their word to your dictionary to see if it is a legit word. Of course, you'll want to account for clicks outside of the play area and ignore them or restrict mouse movement to the play area during the word discovery process.

Re: UI design problem
Food for thought. Presumably text in the field is editable by the user. Therefore the field text cannot be locked and mousedowns will be used for text selection rather than grabbing of the entire field, correct? Is the field user resizable? If so, do you present the user with dotted border and resize handles? Could clicking on the field’s (or image’s) border trigger the grab rather than a click within its content area?

Re: [ANN] Release 8.0.0 RC 1
Here’s an issue I’m seeing with LC 8.0.0 RC 1 on OS X that I have not seen previously. When I launch LC 8.0.0 RC 1 on OS X I get the 'You downloaded this application from the Internet…' security dialog. Usually you just click OK and never see that dialog again. At least that was the case with earlier versions of LC. However, I get it every time I launch LC 8.0.0. If anyone else is experiencing this, here’s how to fix it. Select the LC 8.0.0 RC 1 app in Finder. Get Info (command-I). Change the app’s security settings from ‘Read Only’ to 'Read & Write.' The next time you launch LC 8 RC 1, you will again get the security dialog, but not on subsequent launches.

Re: Separate Widget palette
The Revolution/LiveCode ‘Tools Palette’ has never been a purely tools palette. The Browse, Selection, Graphic & Paint tools are strictly tools. You select a tool and the pointer becomes that tool. Tools let you build or modify things. All the other things on the Tool Palette are actually objects either built-in or, now, widget objects. Objects are already built. You just drag them whole from the palette onto a card. At which point LiveCode courteously chooses the Selection Tool for you to use to modify your new object. There really is quite a different usage pattern between these two types. If we were to have two different palettes, we might consider a Tools Palette and an Object Palette. The Tools Palette would only have tools in it. The Object Palette would only have built-in and Widget objects. I’m not saying we should do this, but it might make the difference between tools and objects clearer for newbies.
