Re: Apple's 30%--anyway around it?

Hi Peter, Yes that is the assumption. If they were originally made for Palm OS it is doubtful they would have been interactive in the first place. Although, PDF files can still have hyperlinks to other websites which could then provide additional interactive functionality fo the book. I hope

Re: Browser Widget on Android

I can't do the testing right now, but I think that your "portrainUI" handler is causing the issue. In there you restrict the orientations to portrait only. If you are doing that to force the device to rotate, you probably need to add another one at the end that unlocks the device so that it can

Hi Linda, Just so you can understand the process I’m talking about, I want you to download a book from https://www.gutenberg.org on your iOS device. (Just get a free book from them to try, and download it as a .pdf file. The strategy you can then use is: Turn your

Re: Browser Widget on Android

As long as the app is build with a splash image that matches the device resolution (on iOS), then it should work for all. Android doesn't use this. The stack is always sized to the screenRect and resolution is calculated automatically. (I thought the same was true for iOS, but it's been a

Re: Property inspector / custom properties - how can i resize the value field

Tom, so you are also living with this? In LC 8.1.10 it´s even not possible to maximize the height of the Property Inspector. And the value field also displays only 3 lines of text. I can´t believe that this was not noticed by one of the LC Team. Are they not using the PI? I noticed it already

Re: Property inspector / custom properties - how can i resize the value field

And since we are talking about it some more, open a property inspector pallet. Expand the pallet size so that the property pane gross. Now resize again only this time smaller. The property pane does NOT shrink with the pallet, but instead introduces scroll bars. That is a bit irritating too. I

Re: Property inspector / custom properties - how can i resize the value field

Well since we are talking about it, I find that when I create a new property, or a new element in an existing property, having th click on the property, then on the name of the property is annoying. The same thing holds true for the property inspector and datagrids. You have to add a column,

Re: Property inspector / custom properties - how can i resize the value field

The PI has a lot of issues in 9.0 this is one of the more annoying ones. I really should record a video and demonstrate them all to the team. not great for new users. I would say its a bug. a workaround would be sending messages to the property inspector. and try to automate the resizing. On

Property inspector / custom properties - how can i resize the value field

Hi, is there a way to resize the value field for custom properties in the Property Inspector? It just shows 3 lines. I think that is not enough, especially if one wants to store larger text files there. Older versions of LC allowed to resize that field if i remember right. Why was that

Re: Why you should sanitize input data

We had a system interface between a public web server and a SQL database that ran pre-formed SQL commands. The table was specified, the variables were typed, the output was processed by XSLT, etc. The public server called a function that included the variables and got back whatever the XSLT

Re: Why you should sanitize input data

It is all about input validation. Access to a SQL server is reasonable. Access to the shell is something that probably should be avoided. In either case you need to be sure the user/hacker cannot send requests that you do not allow. Thanks, Brian On Jul 16, 2018, 9:51 AM -0500, Bob Sneidar via

Re: Why you should sanitize input data

Judging by this, simply putting an SQL server behind a web server does not really protect the SQL server like some propose. Maybe I'm oversimplifying the issue, but it seems they are saying that using this method, shell commands can be executed, and that means access to the sql database can be

Apple's 30%--anyway around it?

I used to create apps and ebooks years and years ago for PDAs. The only reason that I closed my business was Apple. Let me explain. I would contract with authors of books to publish an electronic version of their book. This was a new thing back then. I also had a website where I sold the
