heather, as i told you, at the time, i am busy running multiple companies.
i don't have time for pitches.
i asked for you to send me the information so that i could review it, ahead
of a call. that request was declined.
if the pricing remains untenable, we will be rewriting apps and exiting.

Re: By popular demand - Extend access to LC Classic IDEs BEYOND 2027!

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

as i have previously said, the new pricing ($440 per deployed device) is
untenable for my companies. we won't pay 4d for their REST licenses (for a
much more complete product), either.
we are starting to actively search for alternatives.
if the pricing does not change to something that is actually reasonable,
we're out.

Re: Livecode Future

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

i appreciate the feedback. we've looked at xojo, a number of times, but
never written anything important in it. it was just an option that came to
mind, immediately, when thinking about LC competitors, and their pricing.
if we we decide to pull the plug on LC and rewrite our mobile apps, xojo
would certainly be an environment we would consider.

Re: Livecode Future

sean,
* in reverse order: compare to xojo. $799. unlimited deployment
 (mac/win/linux/web/mobile, console/service apps. instead of bragging about
their consulting service, they send you consulting leads). if you want to
unlock god mode, with things like "top priority support", "fast fixes",
"rapid report verification", it's $1999.
* my MRP/ERP server, which runs the back office modules (AR/AP/GL/Payroll,
etc.), and includes dev tools and support: $322. that is not a typo. the
dev tools are primitive.
* at the other end, 4D, the "super-expensive" database/application/RAD/web
server, which also includes multi-threaded apps, base price, with two
users... $274. each additional user in the tier: $94. unlimited web
clients: $335. our total: $891. (god mode is an additional $999). that
makes the pricing a little less expensive than xojo, and it also includes
the servers.
* all three of those products are multithreaded.
* i'm more concerned about the corporate app seats than i am about whether
5% or $440 per device for customers is a bigger deal killer for commercial
clients - it won't be the first time we had someone rewrite an app for a
customer.
* $440/device is not happening. even $100/device is not happening. we are
not paying $100/employee so they can run our payroll app, for instance, on
their phone.

FWIW, i was thinking about an example of a competing product, and its
pricing.
here's xojo's "buy" url: https://xojo.com/store/
these are annual prices. it's actually a little less expensive than i would
have guessed, but it is what it is.

Re: Livecode Future

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

after the emails from kevin and heather, this morning, here's hoping we get
a discussion of a more typical/traditional corporate app dev tier, because
that's what lc is. it's not a db server. it's not an application server,
it's a app dev tool, for building standalone, single-threaded, engined
binaries.

Re: Livecode Future

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

i'm coming to this conversation, late, because i'm spending very little
time coding, and most of my time managing.
if i understand the pricing correctly, LC wants to charge $440/year for
each mobile device that is running an app that we wrote (we don't have any
publicly available apps, so the 5%, aka the sales commission, wouldn't
apply).
so, for the app that we use on kiosks in our plant, and have messed around
with letting employees put on their own phones, we're talking about
somewhere around $7,000 (16 devices) for our internal app, and another
$20-25k for our customers' apps.
i hope that i'm wrong about that. if i'm not, lc just entered the realm of
uncompetitive for building and running these mobile apps.

so, for you, the trick was:
* claude (opus)
* supply some lc source code in a similar universe (curious why you did
that)
* supply the rfc, not just referencing the rfc
anything else?

Re: Socket Packaging

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

have a look at caddy. it allows you to reverse proxy and have the best of
both worlds:
* server traffic to and from caddy is in the clear, so less mess
* caddy handles all the cert silliness, while also giving you ssl to/from
the clients
we've been doing this for two years (maybe it's three, now). it works
great, and i never have to think about it.
also, the configuration was really, really simple.

Re: Mosquitto library.

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

the original question was about mosquitto and handling messaging, thus the
remarks about websockets.
bob:
the server just opens the port and listens. there is no timeout on the
server. the client sends the request, and then times out if it does not
receive a reply.
whether it receives a reply or times out, the request is closed, and the
client stops listening. the server does not retain the ability to continue
to communicate with the client, once it has replied. websockets keep that
channel open.

That's part of the point of a websocket. you don't have to keep reopening
it, and both ends can use it, as needed.

Re: Mosquitto library.

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

it might be time for the compiler to come out of the vaporware
or the web features to come out of the vaporware
if you've never set up a web server, there is example code in levure for
setting up a tiny one to receive and respond to events.

* if you're on mobile, you can use push
* you can also set up a small web server in your app to receive messages.
levure uses this technique to receive messages from a plugin in sublime
text that a script has been updated (so livecode will reload the script)
* if we get websockets working, that will be another way to make this work.

Re: Return Total of a Given Repeated Number in a List

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

(to alex's question)
> * quicken date shortcuts
quicken has/had these very nifty ways of handling date inputs, to make
entry faster.
if you enter a numeral, like 26, it means that date of this month.
similarly, month/date e.g. 5/25 is 5/25 of this year.
"T" is today
"+" to increment the date field one day. if the date field is empty, it
means tomorrow
"-"
"M" is the first day of this month, and "H" is the last
"Y"ea"R"
"W"ee"K"

Re: Strange syntax in new widgets!?

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

a couple of notes on bob's comments:
* the widgets were written by a third party using lcb. lc purchased the
source. unfortunately, the source is closed, so your ability to improve
them is limited. (then there's the whole matter of the property editor and
property inspector not being documented, which makes fixing the properties
panels for the widgets much more interesting)
* i've completely replaced the segmented control and the tab panel with a
polyList, because it's more flexible, and i can get more functionality out
of it.
* give the polygrid a try. it is much, much faster than the datagrid, and i
have not had any issues with missing functionality (at least for what i'm
using it for).

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

4d's qodly, which is, imho, even a more promising web dev tool, is also
stalled, and has been stalled for almost six months.
i can't hide my disappointment with lc's eternal chasing of the next
squirrel (script compiler is now 17 months overdue because, ooh! look! web
apps! squirrel!). however, i am not at all surprised that they are in a
slog, at this point. how many fullstack web dev tools are there? (i'm not
being sarcastic. i've looked for fullstack web dev tools and come away
wondering why there are so few, and why they all suck)

Re: LC compilation

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

well, bob, since 10 was supposed to have an ai assistant as part of it...
gpt 4 is pretty good, with fairly simple stuff, with some languages. it has
not done well with anything LC that i've thrown at it. it keeps
hallucinating all sorts of things, like commands that don't exist, whole
documentation pages that don't exist, etc. that has not changed.
yesterday, and again, today, i tried to get it to correctly answer a c++
question regarding a robot i'm hacking, but it repeatedly failed.
but sometimes, it is very good at coding, especially if i give it some more
mainstream code (say in JS, or CSS), and ask it to explain to me why the
code isn't working.
i also saw, today, that zdnet tested microsoft's copilot against other
llm's on a coding exercise, and...it didn't go well (

Re: Xcode 15.01 working with LC?

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

just tried it, again, and then started digging.
on the first attempt, i got the linking error
then i fired up xc 15.0.1, and looked at the xcode command-line tools -
sure enough, it was set to 14.2. i changed that to 15.0.1, and now the
builds link with 9.6.11 and xc 15.0.1

i should further note that in lc settings, if you select 15.0.1, you will
get the green box like all's well, but during the build you will get an
error, late.

Re: Revisiting Lock Screen

didn't you say your code was modifying a dg?
i see a couple of possible failure points:
* the widget could be doing something unexpected
* the dg could be unlocking the screen.
you could also try two or more lock screens. i believe lock screen is
additive. until idle.

there are many (many) datagrid functions and commands that unlock the

were many too many. instead of deleting the rest of this post, i left them

i reiterate, i only went through around 2100 lines, or around 20% of the dg

Re: FindIndex question

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

other way, alex. use the pg, not the dg, for now.
BUT, here's a good reason to use the dg - you can fix issues with it. the
source of the pg is closed, and you can't get at it, AFAIK. check the issue
tracker for issues with it. you can't address them.
please, no comments from the peanut gallery on the status of lcb. that's a
separate problem.
SO, if the script compiler was in the wild, i would expect the dg to be
faster. would it be as fast as the pg? dunno. but, again, you could work on
it.

Re: FindIndex question

i guess what i'm wondering is how quickly or slowly the dg will render, if
the dgArray is large. it seems to be slower, when the array is larger.

Re: FindIndex question

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

i would be curious to know if an in-memory sqlite db increases scroll speed
with dg's.
basically, you would live load the dg with pages from the db.
i can't imagine that the dg is faster than the pg. everything i've tried
with the pg is faster than the dg.
just one more reason to resurrect the script compiler and release it.

Re: FindIndex question

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

just to sanitycheck myself, i opened 9.6.9, created a new stack, and added
a dg to it.
then i fired up the pb. expand the card, and you'll see the dg. there are
two behaviors assigned to the dg. the first is button id 1005 of stack
"revDataGridLibrary" which has, as its behavior, stack
"RevDataGridLibraryBehaviorsDataGridButtonBehavior"

Re: FindIndex question

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

i don't know if you dove into the code, but it's too early to think about
unpacking this, so  here's the code:

*## pSearchA is array-valued index for accessing sDataArray*

*## pSearchA[1] = key_1*

*## pSearchA[2] = key_2*

*command* FindIndex pKeyIndexA, pSearchString *--, ...*

*-*

*local* foundAMatch, theFoundIndex

*local* i

*local* theIndex

*-*

*repeat* for each key theIndex in sDataArray

*## Developer can pass in multiple search strings to perform an AND search*

*repeat* with i = 1 to the paramCount step 2

*if* sDataArray[theIndex][param(i)] is param(i+1) *then*

*put* true into foundAMatch

*else*

*put* false into foundAMatch

*end* *if*

*## AND search didn't pan out. Move on to next index.*

*if* not foundAMatch *then* *exit* *repeat*

*end* *repeat*

*if* foundAMatch *then*

*put* theIndex into theFoundIndex

*exit* *repeat*

*end* *if*

*end* *repeat*

*return* max(0, theFoundIndex)

*end* FindIndex

Re: Cursor Placement in MobileControl

we don't have a universal field widget, and, the existing controls don't
make it easy to do things like this.
there are often ways to overcome, just like there are in c, but that
doesn't mean i prefer c
or swift
or java
or xojo
sometimes workarounds are a means to identify opportunities to improve the
product.

fyi, to anyone else coming to thie thread, you can't use revCopyFolder or

looks like specialfolderpath("documents") is sandboxed, after all.
apparently there is another Documents folder, that lc isn't accessing, that
is not.

Re: sideloading updates to mobile

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

the latest pieces that i found on the topic said that files can access the
documents folder (but not library), and that it is available by other
means, without jailbreaking.
thus, i need to screw around with this, some more.
if it's unavailable, then great, no need for library.
in The Before Times, documents was isolated, but i thought that changed.

any reason to store in documents instead of in library?
it seems like there might be less of a chance of the user misusing the
Files app to break the app.

ah. that's a better way of handling this. i was going to have the app check
the documents folder for updates, before loading a stack, but if i keep the

Re: sideloading updates to mobile

i haven't tried deploying to a device, yet, so bear with me:
when you load the updated stack/behavior/etc., are you saving it into the
app bundle, or elsewhere? on locked/single-app devices, persistence is the
thing (but i would imagine that it works the same on single-app devices as
it does for normal ones).

disabled buttons still receive events, they just process them, later?

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

alright, i'm a little surprised to notice this:
i have a button. i disabled the button.
then i clicked on the button
then i re-enabled the button
the click, from the period while the button was disabled, is received and
processed by the button.
that seems problematic, to me. how would one cause clicks to be discarded,
permanently? hide the button? overlay it with a transparent control that
will absorb and ignore the clicks?

mobile device management:

it's like testflight on steroids. in our case, it would enable us to force
app (and even os) updates on devices that are locked into single-app mode

Re: sideloading updates to mobile

right - no updating the engine + runtime in this scenario, just the
stacks + scripts, and perhaps plugins.
we are going to continue to only privately distribute to our corporate
clients, so the app store won't be part of the equation. that does not mean
that apple won't object, though (but, i believe the rules for privately
distributed apps are much more lenient than for app store apps - at least,
they have been for us, up until now)

Re: sideloading updates to mobile

sorry that i was not clear. we've been using private deploys since around
2010, using airlaunch to generate the bundle, and then uploading to a
private url. that's not what i meant.
i'm talking about updating/patching an existing app, in place. the devices
are in single-app mode, so we would either have to pay for mdm and then use
that service to push app updates, OR, if we didn't use mdm, we could have
the app pull the update and apply it.
i can kind-of guess how to make it work, but i'm sure there are a couple of
tricks that i don't want to have to figure out, if someone else has already

Re: polygrid formatted column width

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

yes, the dg does have all of these properties. i'm replacing a dg with a pg.
dg's work on mobile, too. the scrolling can sometimes be a little hairy and
jerky, but it does work. until the pg, nearly every project we built for
mobes had at least one dg in them.
i'm doing this because this project is being used for large datasets,
pulling data from an erp odbc datasource.

anyone screw around with sideloading updates to mobile?
it should be pretty straightforward, but i haven't messed with it, yet.
one of our apps runs on single-app-mode ios devices. so, we could pay for
mdm to update it, or we could sideload the updates.

* the focus switches when you don't switch it? this is most noticeable when
one is in any of the palettes, such as the message box or the property
editor. hit delete, and...wait, what happened to the object that was on the
card? did it just get deleted? yes, it did. oh, you didn't notice? so sad.
* undo would help you fix that, if you noticed that suddenly something was
missing, but, well, you can't.

just going off the top-of-my-head. i don't feel like going into the bug
list, even though there are plenty of open ones, including for the summer
megabundle widgets

things i licensed that i'm still waiting for:
* script compiler
* web deploy
things that severely degrade lc features or make them unusable:
* docs for lcb
* docs for property inspector and property editor
* script widgets
* multi-path svg support (i can't tell you how many great svg's are
unusable, because you can't flatten/combine the paths and get the layers to
work out)
* icon library fixes
* project browser support groups
things that are just annoying:
* filtering/sorting the inclusions for standalones (there's a freaking PR
for this that's been "awaiting release" for...three years?)
* all the other PR's that are just sitting in limbo.
* standalone inclusion selections fixed (did you know that the db library
is attached to standalones, even if you specifically deselect it? did you
know that every time you mouseUp on a standalone, the db library intercepts
the event?)

no, but, i started to write a wiki on the PI/PE, which might help you to

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.

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: Direct editing of polygrid text cells and polylist text elements

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

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...
