So basically to stay out of trouble "currentcard" should be thought of

I was at a wedding a few years ago and during the band's break the

After setting the executable bit you should be able to just double-click

Your user context is different from LC's shell context. Try

If you want to launch python from LC's shell you'll have to have it in

Intriguing - my guess is that something in the message path in your IDEs has a

Now it could be something built into the IDE - although I’m not sure what - or

An easy way to find out is to temporarily rename the ‘My LiveCode’ folder and 
restart the IDE to see if it still happens…


The 1.0.4 cVersion comes from com.livecode.library.i18n.1.0.4
The 3.0.9 cVersion comes from com.livecode.library.smartcrumbsvcw.3.0.9

Unfortunately the scripts for both are locked, so there's no workaround

If you're already base64encoding the text you might consider a different 
end character than numtochar(13). For instance, numtochar(3) is already 
defined as "End of Text". That should eliminate or at least reduce any 
cross-platform issues you might run into.

Are there any tips that you-all can share?

In particular:

- what if anything is available for debugging LCB widgets?

- I've found a reference to a LiveCode Builder CLM module developed by 
James Hale - where might I find this?


- a really basic question - if I make a change to an LCB widget, defined 
in ~/Documents/LiveCode/Extensions; what's the quickest route to testing 
it? Can I delete and re-add the widget? Or do close+remove-from-memory 
the stack, and then reopen it? Or do I need to quit and relaunch 
LiveCode in order to see the change?


- any other pointers or suggestions gratefully received.


Use the extension builder to test the widget. I keep a text editor open 
to edit the code and press the test button after editing. No need to 
relaunch either the builder or the IDE. Debugging is minimal.


I've found very little documentaion on LCB, and much of what I've found 
is either out of date or partial or wrong.

Hi Geoff,

The color scheme has changed. It used to be white on blue for the highlighted

the highlight and background colors to blue using the property inspector and it 
changed the text color to blue but did not adjust the highlight or background. 
Definitely needs a bug report.


I filed a bug report on this some seven years ago when the visual aspect 
changed. Got rejected because it was a deliberate change.


I solved my then-current problem by placing an opaque rectangle behind 
the tab control.

I think maybe it's time to stop using the ridiculous "AI" term and refer 
to this more properly as Machine Learning. From my experience using 
TensorFlow the quality of your results depends mainly on the corpus of 
data used in training. Not just the quantity of data used to train the 
system but also the quality of the data used. It doesn't matter whether 
you're training the system for facial recognition or grammar checking or 
code generation, the better quality data you can throw at the system the 
better your results will be. Any ML system will have a bias towards the 
data it was trained on, so it stands to reason that having better code 
to draw on will allow it to make better judgements about code creation.

See https://opencv.org/

I am particularly interested in simple face and/or object recognition in 
images - something where I can pass the library an image file (like a 
PNG) and it can return whether or not there is a face in the image and 
if yes/true, the rectangle within the image that bounds what it thinks 
is a face (or faces as I suppose it could return multiple rects).


Haven't tried this with LC (only done OpenCV with python), but for image 
recognition tensorflow is pretty easy to leverage with javascript. Takes 
a bit of training though. Might want to start with a pretrained model:

You also do a *lot* of work on both opening the stack and opening the

Re: Livecode / Github

[Mark Wieder via use-livecode]

Got it figured out. It just doesn't work on linux.

On OSX when executing scEnabledPlugin  I get the error

A stack with the same name as ...
Before loading /Users//Documents/My 
LiveCode/SmartCrumbsVCW/extensions...

what do you want to do with stack:
/Users//Downloads/smartCrumbs/...

So it looks like scInstallPlugin installs a copy of the plugin into a 
*very* specific hardcoded directory, no matter where I placed the source 
to start with. And no doubt calls specialFolderPath("documents") in 
order to figure out where that should be and of course that call 
doesn't work on linux, so it probably just gives up silently. I'm 
guessing the correct call should really be to 
revEnvironmentUserPluginsPath().


Not going to bother filing a bug on this. I rather expect LC to drop 
linux support any day now anyway.

Hi all.

I would like to see a propertyChanged message implemented that gets sent to any

one for built-in properies and another for custom properties.

Imagine being able to change the font or size of a particular object, and then having all 
the other objects that "subscribed" to that object's font or size property ALSO 
have their fonts change. It would then be possible to build a kind of Object Oriented 
environment. What say you?


Why not just use the built-in hierarchy?: change the textfont of the 
parent object and all the child object automatically get the change.

Somewhat. If you already have the line number from the error message, 
why not just grab that line of script? Or preface it with the line 
number you already have in your possession?


But I find that the executionContexts gives me more information than 
just where the error occurred, since the actual problem may be farther

If you want to see what the JSON export looks like for a fairly small

Unfortunately you will need to download and view it with something that
understands the CR line ending since GitHub doesn't.  That repo has both
ScriptTracker exports and SmartCrumbs exports of the stack.  The former is
designed with two things in mind:  allowing changes in the scripts that are
part of a binary stack to be tracked and allowing the editing of those
scripts in an external editor (I like Atom for the linting, have not tried
the newer option).  The latter looks to be a way to completely decompose a
stack into mostly text files (images being one exception) that can be
tracked (and in theory changes merged together I'm guessing).


OK - I just tried out smartcrumbs to check it out. Not quite sure what's 
going on here. Outsmarted by smartcrumbs.

Then you download it, unzip it into a folder, launch the IDE, and open

From a July 27 comment from Steven Crighton on

For the moment you have to update the new widgets manually. To do this, 
first log in to your LiveCode account. In the left hand navigation make 
your way to Products > thirdparty. Scroll down this list to find 
LiveCode Enhancements and download that bundle. Inside the bundle folder 
there is a widgetpackinstaller.livecode file – If you want to update 
everything in your bundle in one go I recommend using that. Simply open 
that stack and click the install button. Note – DataView will now be 
PolyList after you have updated.


I updated once and looks like I'll have to again.

Friends, I have done wonderful things with LC10 web deployment!

I’m excited to share with you the fruits of this week's extensive 
research and testing!



Wow. Thanks Andreas.

Resize, etc. work well for me on Safari, but fail badly on Chrome 
browser (details not included) - all build-for-web attempts fail on this 
version of Chrome.  (which it says is up-to-date).


OTOH, it's working fine for me on Chrome. Go figger.

Unfortunately that throws a divide-by-zero error at line 461 in 
computeGridFieldWidth when I try to resize the window.
