Re: Lock and Unlock Screen (was Refactoring. etc...)

[Ron Metzker via use-livecode]

Hi Alex,

This is fairly long but there is no code in the explanation. I ran into this 
problem last year. I have a stack that monitors 3 security systems. You can 
switch between the system with the one stack or you can use 3 separate stacks 
to monitor the different systems. 

Here was my problem. There are 172 buttons and 171 fields on the main card 
which shows the status of each security alarm. The stack is 992 x 902 pixels in 
size. When you first connect to a security system the stack sends a message to 
get the security systems state. The system sends back the complete state for 
all the buttons and fields on the card via an xml file. Without locking and 
keeping the card locked until the update is complete, it took a minimum of one 
minute and 45 seconds to perform the update. By locking the card until the 
update is complete it takes less than a second. Obviously, it was because of 
the time that it took to set each button and each field and in between setting 
one of them it draws the whole card. I also found that even with the card 
locked it took about 15 milliseconds to set the state of a button or field even 
though most of the time it was what the state already was. So I simply check 
the state before I set it and if is the same as what I was going to set it too, 
I don't bother to set it. This check takes less than a millisecond. 

I have a routine that gets called when I want to get the entire state of the 
card. All it does is set a global to true and asks for the state. Every routine 
that is used to update the card buttons or fields checks the global and then 
checks the state of the lock screen. If they are the same it continues on. If 
they are different it sets the lock screen state to that of the global and goes 
on.

Since I don't know when the update will be complete, I check when I enter the 
main routine that handles all the input from the security system, to see if 
there is a pending update for the card. If there is not, then I put false into 
the global and continue on since that means all the updates have been handled.

This update would happen any time you connected to one of the security systems. 
This happens when you launched the stack or turn it on, if it was turned off or 
you switched from one security system to another or loaded a new xml file to 
set up the security system. All of those actions would force a status update 
from the security system.

So I don't know if it does anyone else any good. But for my stack it was at 
least 145 times faster to update the main card.

Best Regards,
Ron

Re: Disable Notification Center

[Ron Metzker via use-livecode]

HI BR,

I do not know a way to turn off notifications from within the app. I only know 
how the user can do so.

The easy way to do it, is to go into the Settings app then go to Do Not Disturb 
and turn the button on. Then you can run the app without any interruptions. 
When you are done with the app, turn the Do Not Disturb button off. You can do 
this and still have a time set up when you won’t get any notifications.

Best Regards
Ron

Re: “Make Docset” updated to 3.1, DASH docset for LC now at 1.7.1

Hi Mike,

You have to chose the user contributed docs and do a check for updates. I did 
it yesterday. Mine is also set on auto update but it seems to only work on the 
main docset.

Re: App Dead on iOS 12

[Ron Metzker via use-livecode]

Hi Terri,

Normally Xcode asks you if you want to install additional tools when it is 
first launched. Since you are using an older version maybe you didn’t install 
then


. You can go to Xcode Help then to Customize Xcode, then to Manage Simulators 
and toolchains. Under that look at verify, reveal and delete toolchains. It 
will give you instructions from there on how to see what is installed and allow 
you to update them.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards
Ron

Re: [ANN] Release 9.0.0

[Ron Metzker via use-livecode]

Hi Panos,

I updated my two Macs today with LiveCode 9.0.0. Unfortunately I also had a 
very slow download on both. I have a very fast internet connection. I dowloaded 
them from within LiveCode by doing an update. 

After I had downloaded them, I tried to see what the problem was. I did a test 
on my internet. It was at the correct speed in the test. So I went to the 
LiveCode download page and downloaded both the Indy and the Business dmg from 
the site at the same time. It took only a couple of minutes. So the slowness of 
the download appears to caused by using the LiveCode download stack. It was 
probably 20 to 30 times slower than using the download page.

Best Regards,
Ron

Re: LC Toolbar

[Ron Metzker via use-livecode]

You can also just hide LiveCode windows before you leave it. Very similar 
command to what Paul mentions here. Just use Cmd-H and it will hide all of 
LiveCodes windows without hiding anything else. If you want a completely clear 
desktop and other apps are open, just do what Paul suggests and hide everything 
but the finder by Cmd-Alt-H. To get back to LiveCode, you can either Cmd-Tab to 
it or click the icon in the dock.

Re: [Somewhat OT] Mac Code Signing - can anyone explain?

[Ron Metzker via use-livecode]

Hi Graham,

The keys have a date time stamp in them that is encrypted. That is how it knows 
which one to use. DO NOT delete your old keys. It uses them in case you have to 
rebuild an old application that has already been signed.

I have never done this for iOS, so don’t have any knowledge of How iOS works 
though I can point you to the documents that Apple provides. Xcode takes care 
of MacOS.
