Re: Developing first on android

I can see that. If using the export as a way to track where you made changes, it would be good to have it in a text format. I've not gotten far enough into the object code to tell when/where it would be safe to edit such an array. This will need to be something considered when writing the

Re: Developing first on android

I'll weigh in here. An array representation of a stack might be useful in ways, such as storing it as a property of another stack, or writing it as a binary file to disk as a backup of sorts after arrayEncoding it. Just so long as no one thinks they can do something like take the key that

Some of you may find this new widget useful. A textbanner widget that displays a text string, an "one-liner", as running text right to left (optionally left to right) or static. Has many documented options to set (font, size, colors, speed, ...). Ready to use via the extension manager in LC

If I'm understanding correctly, a capability to export a stack as an array (with the corresponding import) would get around the issue of the non-public properties though. The array would be the intermediate format that would be used by the engine to construct the stack in memory. LCS could be

Hi all. I have some screen updates I do that take time because I query a database first, and it may not be local. To keep the screen from progressively updating, I lock the screen. I then decided to put a status message field at the bottom of each "form" (meaning card in a stack) so I have
