Re: Why won't Help Tip editor accept Carriage Return?

for the record, problem does not exist for v14 or later. this is basically a compatibility issue between macOS 10.8/9 and 13.6 (evidently a regression from 13.5, really sorry about that...), which was released in the first half of 2015. > 2018/06/12 13:22、Dan Ivy via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com

Re: Why won't Help Tip editor accept Carriage Return?

I agree with Doug about where this is coming from. Also as a workaround I had success using a text editor to create the help text with carriage returns and then paste it into the 4D help editor. After that 4D seems to allow returns to be added or deleted from the text displayed in the help editor.

Re: Build with code signing

Building on Cannon's code, rather than calling codesign directly with the --deep flag we use the shell script that is distributed in the 4D app bundle, which takes care of the signing of all of the subcomponents for you. You still need to remove the extended attributes first (with xattr -cr) as
