Re: Another question about multiple stack projects

Also, if you are going to notarize the application package after code signing in macOS, the files need to be where the standalone maker puts them. Otherwise it will fail Apple’s notarization service. I found this out after trial and error. Previously I had manually put them into the package

Re: Another question about multiple stack projects

What I should have done is search the help files first, but I somehow chose unhelpful search terms, so didn’t see this until this morning. Sorry. So it appears that the only purpose of the “Stacks” setting is to set properties for each stack that locates them within the particular app

Re: [OT] Poll: What does it mean for 1 rect to be 'within' a certain distance of another rect?

Alex, Thank you. As I just posted, I think I am seeing that *most* people think of the distance between 2 rects as the distance between nearest edges or vertices which is the same as the smallest distance between any two points. On 2/15/2021 7:53 PM, Alex Tweedly via use-livecode wrote:

Re: Another question about multiple stack projects

Listing them in the stack files gives LC the ability to find them when you refer to them by name only (as opposed to the full path.) In the case of script only Libraries, you can start using them at any time before you make a call to them. For instance, I have a database setup card that

Re: [OT] Poll: What does it mean for 1 rect to be 'within' a certain distance of another rect?

Hi Henk, No, it's maybe not obvious but it does take all cases into account. If the smallest distance is between corners of each rectangle - only then does the 'sqrt' have real meaning. In all other cases, one or other of the DX and DY comes out as 0. --  |    | | R1 |  --  |    |

Super helpful, Mark. Thank you. I can better understand how the existing modes work, but I need something a little different. Imagine if we had a mode where each successive set of points is rendered so it completely paints over anything rendered before it, vertices and all - e.g.:
