Re: FYI: Cause found for LC crashing to desktop when Browser widget opens PDF
I believe 32bit run mode was the default for earlier versions of LiveCode but 9.x is 64bit by default. I bring that up out of curiosity because I had a problem with a browser plug-in (64/32bit) running inside a LiveCode Browser widget in the past. The plugin would crash running in 64bit, sometimes taking LiveCode Engine with it, but if it worked perfectly in LC in 32bit mode or earlier versions of LiveCode. Of course the plugin worked fine in Safari and on both 32bit and 64bit kernel machines. I've since replaced that plug-in with my own LCB Library that does most of what I need that fo (and also got rid of my 32bit laptop) so I didn't investigate further. > On Jan 20, 2020, at 07:41 , Mark Waddingham via use-livecode < > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > > > On 2020-01-20 15:20, Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode wrote: > >> Just want to let you know that Livecode Dev Team confirmed that this is > a bug > >> https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22534 > > > > Well, we confirmed it crashed ;) Whether it is a bug in LC or Adobe DC > or not > > is another matter. > > > > There was a similar issue a very long time ago with Adobe's PDF plugin - > it would > > cause the browser external to crash if used (we used the system webview > back then > > as we do now)...

FYI: Cause found for LC crashing to desktop when Browser widget opens PDF
Hi, maybe this is of use for the one or the other. in any case LC crashes on Mac to desktop when opening a PDF in the Browser Widget and your are getting crazy because of that, then check if Acrobat software is installed on your system. A few days ago i mentionend in an answer to an other post, that LC 9.5/9.6 and also standalones created with that versions, but not LC8, crash to desktop when one opens a PDF in the Browser Widget. I contacted support, as i was pretty sure that this worked in the past. As this only happened on my iMac, but not on my Macbook, i decided to completely erase the hard disk of my iMac and reinstall the OS and all needed LC stuff, because i had to finish some important work and waiting for an answer from support or continuing on the Macbook was not an option for me. I planned to install the other software one after the other when i needed it. All went well and the problem with the PDF in the widget did not happen anymore. Today i needed to install Acrobat DC for some tasks. An hour later or so i received an answer from support and one question from Dev team was if by any chance Acrobat software is/was installed on my machine. I tried again in LC and the crash happened again. After uninstalling Acrobat DC the crashes did not happen anymore. I reported this back to support. Of course not using Acrobat DC anymore is no final solution, but for the moment it´s a workaround and hopefully the Dev team finds out what exactly is going wrong with.

FYI: How to reliably identify an Android Tablet microSD Card
FYI
I've managed to put together some code that reliably locates the microSD card
in 4 very different Android-based tablets. The approach involves 3 different
methods:
1. Search for a known folder on the SD card starting in the standard "/mnt"
folder using a breadth-first search strategy.
2. Search for a known folder on the SD card starting in the less standard
"/storage" folder using a breadth-first search strategy.
3. Search for a known folder using full paths that are used by specific
manufacturers. These look as though they should be located by method 1. (they
are all paths from "/mnt") but sometimes fail 1. however they work if the full
path is specified!
Here's my code for "findSDcard"...
on findSDcard
constant \
cSDcardRoot1 = "/mnt/ext_sdcard/Android/data/com.myorg.myapp/files", \
cSDcardRoot2 = "/mnt/sdcard2/Android/data/com.myorg.myapp/files", \
cSDcardRoot3 = "/mnt/m_external_sd/Android/data/com.myorg.myapp/files", \
cSDcardRoot4 = "/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.myorg.myapp/files", \
cSDcardRoot5 = "/mnt/extSdCard/Android/data/com.myorg.myapp/files", \
cSDcardRoot6 = "/mnt/external_sd/Android/data/com.myorg.myapp/files", \
cSDcardRoot7 = "/mnt/SDCard/Android/data/com.myorg.myapp/files"
global gDataPath -- /myapp-data
global gSDcard -- path to app's data folder
set wholeMatches to true
put empty into gSDcard
put (char 2 to -1 of gDataPath) into tTargetFolderName
if the platform is "android" then
put "/mnt" into tDeviceRoot
if there is a folder tDeviceRoot then
-- search in standard /mnt folders:
put empty into tFoundPath
folderExists tTargetFolderName, tDeviceRoot, tFoundPath
if tFoundPath is not empty then
put tFoundPath into gSDcard
end if
end if
if gSDcard is empty then
-- try non-standard /storage folders:
if there is a folder "/storage" then
-- search in non-standard /storage folders:
put "/storage" into tDeviceRoot
put empty into tFoundPath
folderExists tTargetFolderName, tDeviceRoot, tFoundPath
if tFoundPath is not empty then
put tFoundPath into gSDcard
end if
end if
end if
if gSDcard is empty then

put cSDcardRoot1 into gSDcard-- Huawei

else if there is a folder cSDcardRoot6 then
put cSDcardRoot6 into gSDcard-- ??
else if there is a folder cSDcardRoot7 then
put cSDcardRoot7 into gSDcard-- Hudl?
end if
end if
end if
end findSDcard
on folderExists pFolderName, pRootPath, @pFoundPath
constant cNoDotsRegex = "^\..*"
-- breadth-first search for a given folder
put empty into pPath
if there is a folder pRootPath then
put empty into tSubFolders
put folders(pRootPath) into tFolderList
filter lines of tFolderList without regex cNoDotsRegex
repeat for each line tFolder in tFolderList
if tFolder = pFolderName then
-- found it:
put pRootPath into pFoundPath
exit folderExists
else
-- add sub-folder to list for checking:
put pRootPath & "/" & tFolder & return after tSubFolders
end if
end repeat
if tSubFolders is empty then
exit folderExists
end if
repeat for each line tSubFolder in tSubFolders
folderExists pFolderName, tSubFolder, pFoundPath
if pFoundPath is not empty then
exit folderExists
end if
end repeat
end if
end folderExists
Note that the above was necessary because specialFolderPath("external
documents") doesn't work reliably across the 4 Android-based tablets I'm trying
to support.
If anyone has a more elegant or succinct method, please let me know. In the
meantime you're welcome to use the above code.

Option Drag FYI
Just learned the above trick to create a copy of a control from a recent thread. Found out today that there is a difference between copy/paste and option-drag. If you copy/paste a control in a group, the copy is not part of the group, but if you option-drag it, the copy remains in the group. The Edit menu Duplicate and Replicate commands also leave the copies in the group.

Re: Option Drag FYI
I think it depends on how you work with groups. If you use Edit Group to go in and edit a group, copy and paste acts the same as option-drag. If you prefer to directly select objects inside a group, without actually going into the group, then copy and paste acts differently, because you’re at the card level at the time. ___ 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

Right, I wasn't in group edit mode at the time I tried all the different options.

There are all sorts of things we can do by combining vector objects to create raster ouput - provided, of course, that the latest LC server now has its image rendering sufficiently factored from the UI routines that it's at long last possible. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for Desktop, Mobile, and Web __**__ ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com __**_ 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-livecodehttp://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode -- Stephen Barncard San Francisco Ca.

Fwd: [FYI] Using Graphic Commands on Server
I did a test just now using Livecode server 6.0.0 dp1. I successfully imported a jpg file to the templategraphic , scaled it, and exported to an output file as a png on a server at Dreamhost using an iRev script. I also stored the initial rect, height and width of the imported graphic into custom properties of the templategraphic to allow scaling. Just a place to put the data, I could have used variables. so the answer to my own question from a few days ago is YES, at least these graphic commands work on this version. And I don't have to use shell calls to ImageMagick. yay sqb -- - ! - Stephen Barncard San Francisco Ca.

Re: FYI: Mac trojan horse
Right. I already had put a little addition similar to this in my frontscript openstack handler so that every time I open a stack it tests for the presence of *.so files and, if found, sends me to the website for the instructions on how to delete the thing. Obviously, I open stacks constantly during the day (and night!), and that way I don't have to remember to check, which I would rapidly forget to do. As one of my patients said to me once, I have a mind like a steel sieve. This is the first time in a long time I've even had to *think* about malware.
