Save Stack very slow in Windows 7

I have for years successfully run a set of stacks using LiveCode 5.5.3 in Windows 7.  Recently certain operations have become painfully slow (Windows says "not responding" for 2 minutes or so, but eventually does respond and the operation is completed). Setting some breakpoints to investigate,

Re: Livecode all around the world

If you assign a word in, say, Mandarin for every LiveCode-specific word or phrase (keyword, command, message, etc.), it will be a cheap (if stilted) solution to the problem. The added advantage is translation of an entire application script to any language at the click of a button and back. There

I would not go further then that, just replacing word by word. But I wonder how that would sound in German for example: "put x into button y" - "Lege x in Knopf y"? Too funny. There is no equivalent even for a simple word such as "put" or "button" which would give exactly the same idea. The

Re: Livecode all around the world

Sri. I had suggested something similar last year, say for Italian. The thinking was that a word-for-word substitution is not robust enough. Language syntax, (native verb placement in a sentence, for example) would break such a system right away. The thread is on the use-list somewhere.

It means the license for community forbids you from applying a closed-source license to the standalones you compile using the community IDE. Since you didn't pay for the community IDE, you can do whatever you want open source. If you want to close the source of your work you need to buy a

I have actually seen this myself once whilst running in debug mode from source, and I think it was stuck in a 'TryToEvaluate' loop for some reason - I think it can be stopped by doing Cmd + . although that might not be the same thing. Anyway, It's worth filing a bug report if there isn't one

I think there would still be people who want to be able to type "your synonym here" instead of "sudo." And that would still not help them understand what sudo does and it would still interfere with any attempt they make to research or ask for help. On Thu, Nov 5, 2015 at 12:09 PM, Bob Sneidar
