I've put gZipper into my plugins folder -- thanks, Richard! However, I attempted to edit the stack -- just cosmetic stuff, the controls weren't aligned and things were off-center, etc, I'm a little obsessive that way, it really distracts me when stuff doesn't look good. (I know this is just a qu

Hi Richard, I just looked at your code and it is really nice. I always learn so much from your code. Thanks again! John Balgenorth On Apr 20, 2015, at 5:37 PM, JB wrote: > Thanks Richard! > > I am working on a project that will be > doing some file zipping. It isn’t a full > blown zip pro

Re: Large Scripts Run too Slowly

Thanks Richard! I am working on a project that will be doing some file zipping. It isn’t a full blown zip program. It will just provide the ability to zip a file in the process. It is impressive and nice to see very old code works on current Macs. I jusst downloaded the code from you links and

Re: Large Scripts Run too Slowly

It would be nice to be able to see the scripts. There are others out there that let you view the script and have drag and drop. A really good feature to have would be the ability to zip a folder of files and folders and a volume of a hard drive. John Balgenorth On Apr 20, 2015, at 10:44 AM, J.

Re: Large Scripts Run too Slowly

Richard - I only notice the slow-down in the IDE. The code executing normally seems to run fine. It's when I open the script editor that I run into problems. I don't know why my decompress didn't work but your line opened the FlightRecorder stack fine. Thanks! I'll give it a try. On 4/20

Ray, Take a look at the way the MasterLibrary Works. https://www.dropbox.com/s/3wpwn3hfbmpl7sk/MasterLibrary.livecode?dl=0 It has an infrastructure in place to add functions and handler to stacks. These can easily be turned into substacks.Feel free to copy with pride if it makes sense fo

Re: Large Scripts Run too Slowly

Yeah I looked through recent installs and didn't find much. I uninstalled a couple of Java updates but it didn't help. The slowness has been creeping in for a while actually. It's time to take the bull by the horns. By the way, how are you compressing the .gz file, below? I'm unable to ge

I've got a stack script of over 15,000 lines. It's recently started running too slow to work with. Everything is painfully slow from plain typing to searches to scrolling. Stepping through lines with the debugger is almost impossible. I start using this stack at launch so all other stacks i
