Re: Re Pulldownmenu button bug on Windows

Thanks Richard for your wise observations. As cross-platform developers we do indeed need to be aware of differences that will arise in standalones because of GUI differences in the operating systems – different placement of menus, different text string lengths, some features not even being

Decrypting (and encrypting) Large files

Wondering if anyone has used LiveCode for encrypting-decrypting large files? The docs typically have nice examples for files that can fit into a variable, but what are folks doing for big files that are larger than what you’d want in a variable? I’m thinking about using LC for decrypting zip

Hello William, Could it be the case you have checked the "beta version" checkbox in the iOS standalone settings? Cheers, Panos On Sun, 8 May 2022, 17:12 Mark Smith via use-livecode, < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Hi William, > > In the Standalone Application setting for iOS there

Re: Zip file problem on Mac

I imagine this one isn’t documented due to the issues where you can’t read properties from an existing zip file. I think I found it when digging into the source. I’m sure there are some that could be found by looking at the source code that is still available. Sent from my iPhone > On May

Nevermind. I found the "Relaunch Sampler.rev" stack referred to in the Dictionary entry and it explains how the message is used further. On 5/8/2022 12:08 PM, Paul Dupuis via use-livecode wrote: The LC 9.6.7 Dictionary entry to 'relaunch" states: It can be used in the following three ways:

The LC 9.6.7 Dictionary entry to 'relaunch" states: It can be used in the following three ways: |1. If the message is passed, then the new instance continues running. 2. If "background" is returned, then the new instance is terminated. 3. If nothing is returned but the message is not passed,

Launch of multiple application instances (Mac vs Win)

Seeking help: On MacOS when you try to launch a second instance of an application, the macOS just brings the open app to the front (for example, if it is hidden on minimized). On Windows, when you try to launch a second instance of an application, Windows launches a second (or 3rd or 4th or

Hi William, In the Standalone Application setting for iOS there are options to build for “iPod and iPhone” or two options for building for iPad (“iPad” only and “iPod, iPhone, iPad”). I was going to suggest checking those, but then, just to be sure I rebuilt one of my own apps with “iPod and
