Re: LiveCode 6.6.1 (rc-1) very slow on iOS!

2014-04-02 Thread Rick Harrison
Hi there,

Boy did I ever make a mistake trying to upgrade from LC 6.5.2 to 6.6.0!

After the upgrade, I discovered that 6.6.0 wouldn’t see the iOS SDKs.
Then I discovered in the notes that the fix was in LC 6.6.1 (rc-1).

So I started up 6.6.1 (rc-1) and discovered that my app which used
to run my animations smoothly now shows incredibly slow stuttering
animations!

Now as I understand it from reading about this problem, is that the
move to retina has created this issue.

I tried to go back to using LC 6.5.2 and now that won’t find my SDKs.
I apparently can’t repoint to any of them either!

I suggest that a performance switch be installed so that at least we
have a choice as to how quickly we would like to have things rendered
here.  I was just about ready to get my app out the door when this
upgrade has quashed my schedule!  What was I thinking? *@$#^!*#(@)!

Suggestions and any help are greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Rick

iOS SDK 5.1 is not recognized in 6.5.2. You must use pre 5.1 SDK. 5.0.2 will
work and get the green box back.

Hi Ralph,

Thanks for the tip.

I felt things were so bad that it was just best
for me to roll back my entire computer to my
Time Machine Backup from early this morning
before I started messing with things.  I’m
happy with my older environment where
everything worked quickly.

I think LC 6.6.0 and LC 6.6.1(rc-1) were released
too soon.  The retina speed issue really needs to
be properly addressed, and it wasn’t for these
releases.

Thanks again,

Rick

Any build labeled RC is for testing.  I appreciate your help testing 
that build and filing bug reports on any repeatable issues you find, so 
the final release will be as solid as this community's testing can make it.
