Re: [ ANN ] Release 8.1.0 RC-1
I've been getting random CTD on 8.0.2 in El Capitan. I was going to revert to 8.0.1 which seemed very stable to me. I'm sorry for not researching it further. I usually run into the issue while I am using the app in a production environment and I don't have the luxury of troubleshooting inline.

Re: [ ANN ] Release 8.1.0 RC-1
Are you really banned from the Use-List? That's amazing, did you, as they suggest in that lovely film "Educating Rita", 'bugger the bursar'? As someone who has been banned twice, and, arguably, should have been banned a fair few other times, I really wonder what did that. Mark, you have just been awarded, for whatever it's worth (not much) the Richmond Seal of Approval. Love, Richmond.

Re: [ ANN ] Release 8.1.0 RC-1
@Mark Can you please submit a bug report, and attach the crash log(s)? We plan to do a RC2 release late next week, so if what you see is a RC1 regression we will have to fix it for RC2.

Yes indeed… there’s *lots* of undocumented APIs in the IDE. At the moment as we go we are adding lcdoc comments to public APIs. At some point we will have done that enough to parse IDE libraries and generate an IDE dictionary. It is, however, a long row to hoe.

In the current implementation that's true, hence my request. On the other hand, no one else seems to mind that those global properties are not being used, so if it's easier to ditch the props and use the scripted function it won't be the end of the world. But if you do that, please add entries for the alternate functions, and include links in the Dict entries for scriptTextFont and scriptTextSize so anyone looking for those will know where to go. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the 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-livecode

They worked in the MC IDE, and IIRC in the Revolution IDE for a while as
well.
Maybe what happened is that during the major Script Editor overhaul
someone who wasn't familiar with the long history of those HyperTalk
properties replaced them with scripted alternatives.
I like Panos' suggestion:

scriptTextSize
You'll also want to use those properties for any getters as well, given
that they are global and perhaps settable by third-party plugins.

Something would need to subscribe to idePropertyChanged for those properties
and update them but yes we could. However, if they are deprecated we would only
be perpetuating their use by ensuring they are right. If someone wants to
undeprecate them then most definitely this should be done but until then it
would probably be better to recommend people use revIDEGetPreference.

Thanks. I am aware of that: http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=27829 I am fairly handy at mucking around with (and mucking up) components of the IDE. However there are lots of end-users, and lots more potential end-users (especially if I get my wicked way and get my book out to push Livecode as an authoring environment for teachers) who either don't know how to do that sort of thing, or don't have the time and/or motivation to learn that.

The Message Box is a very good example. The scriptTextFont and scriptTextSize global properties continued to work through MetaCard 4.1 using LC engine 6.6.4 (perhaps later, that's just the more recent MC install I have), and the LC engine v8.1 still allows those values to be used once the IDE sets them. Unfortunately, the IDE no longer sets them. Both properties have been returning empty in the LiveCode IDE for years (possibly since the first script editor overhaul a decade or so ago), and are currently flagged as deprecated: http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11596 I suppose there's probably some IDE function that could be used for that instead (provided we hunt deeply enough to find it), but it seems much simpler to just use what's already in place in the engine for that. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the 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-livecode

I am not sure if this is the expected behavior (i.e. to first open the Script Editor so as to get the msg box text colorized), so I filed a bug to investigate this further. http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18265 Best, Panos -- On Thu, Aug 25, 2016 at 8:18 PM, Richmond wrote: > Yes; you are quite right. > > I opened the scriptEditor and then the messageBox. > > It might not be a bad idea to put that into the documentation. > > Thank you, Richmond. > > On 25.08.2016 20:14, panagiotis merakos wrote: > >> I think you must have opened the script editor first >> On 25 Aug 2016 18:11, "Richmond" wrote: >> >> At the risk of sounding very stupid indeed . . . >>> >>> I installed 8.1.0 rc 1 and typed this into the Message Box: >>> >>> put 5 into AA >>> add 1 to AA >>> put AA >>> >>> and saw no colourisation at all.

Re: [ ANN ] Release 8.1.0 RC-1
Colourising the messageBox is marvellous . . . But it would be even more marvellous if one could set the font and the font size for the messageBox like one can the scriptEditor. Personally I find the teeny-weeny font size in the messageBox a bother: and I have had the font in the scriptEditor set to 18 for the last 10 years. Richmond.

On OSX, QuickTime is unable to be supported in 64 bit builds the default value of the global dontUseQT and dontUseQTEffects properties changed in version 6.7; it is true on OS X version 10.8 and up, or on all versions of OS X if the engine is 64 bit. This means that any player object created will use the AVFoundation API for multimedia playback. I can’t seem to figure out what the first sentence is saying. :( I would like to!

Re: [ ANN ] Release 8.1.0 RC-1

The 8.1 RC1 release is great IMO, because apart from 80+ bug fixes, it contains a lot of enhancement requests, including keyboard navigation in the Project Browser, script colorization in the msg box and some more: https://github.com/livecode/livecode-ide/pulls?q=is%3Apr+label%3Aenhancement+milestone%3A8.1.0-rc-1+is%3Aclosed https://github.com/livecode/livecode/pulls?q=is%3Apr+label%3Aenhancement+milestone%3A8.1.0-rc-1+is%3Aclosed Best, Panos -- On Thu, Aug 25, 2016 at 2:25 PM, Mike Kerner wrote: > I am really excited about 8.1.
