Re: Sending an email on Windows 8
Hi all, I've reported this issue of trying to send an email from LC on Windows 8 Desktop. RR has reported back to me that using revMail someb...@ddd.com does not work on Win8. Here's the RunRev report bug: http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10639 Other methods of sending an email on Win8 still work: launch URL and revGoURL - Regards, Mark Stuart --- LC: 4.6.4 WinXP/7/8 32bit and 64bit -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Sending-an-email-on-Windows-8-tp4658707p4658891.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.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

Re: Sending an email on Windows 8
Actually no, my understanding I confess comes from listening to Leo LaPorte, the Tech Guy radio program on KFI Radio in Los Angeles. Someone called asking if he should upgrade to Windows 8 and that was his assessment. That is why it was my understanding and not my experience. :-) I have had experience using a stylus based interface though many years ago, when I was evaluating whether or not we should purchase one for the graphics department, and I can tell you that it became quite tedious reaching for the apple menu or any menu pretty quickly, especially on large screens. I remember telling myself, This will never take the place of a mouse or trackball.

Re: Sending an email on Windows 8
HP tried touch screens decades ago (in the '80s). Finger prints were a major problem - and I don't believe that problem has gone away. It is one thing to wipe a phone or tablet on you sleeve vs cleaning a large monitor.
