Re: Ugly stack filename problem after Save as!

I've seen an issue in Mavericks Finder where a file you've selected, will sometimes stay selected when you mouse down and then try and drag a different file (even though the two files may be in completely different folders) - as though you'd held down shift or cmd. The result when that happens i

Nakia, What I understand from your e-mail is: - you need to fill out web forms - you need to send e-mails What other _technical_ requirements do you have? Automate paper processes and begin a workflow aren't really items that belong in a list of technical requirements. So far, you give me th

Hi Nakia WaveMaker is not even 50% of what LiveCode can offer. I spent about 2 months trying to work wit WM before I found LivCode. Alex has the point at hand, what are you trying to do? As you can see I am mainly a database developer, and I've used about every kind of DB app over the last 35 year

Hi, although I initially thought that >> "set the textStyle["empty"]" throws an error. I think it should be >> allowed. I agree with Richard and Peter. The array notation is for setting textStyles on top of other textStyles, not replacing textStyles as the older version does. So it is for speci

Re: set the textStyle["box"] of word x of line y to true is very fast

I don't think that's an error. The textstyle array has keys named after the actual textstyles, but empty and plain are not styles, they're just a way of saying there is no style to be applied so the textSTyle array has no keys for them. Setting the textstyle to empty is the same as setting the te

Hi Bjornke, Like you, I'm still skeptical about how useful this really is. I'm sensing that LC coders who also work with other more traditional programming languages will be more comfortable with assert. To answer your question though, one example might be a parameter to a function which is always
