scriptEditor windows

So; one can open the scripts of 2 objects, and by default they both appear in a tabbed scritpEditor. If one wants them to be in separate windows one can do that but right-clicking on a tab and selecting "Move to new window." It would be really lovely, if, in the IDE Preferences, one could set th

Ineffective lazy screenRect

So, "here" on macOS 10.14.4 beta 5 with LC 9.0.3 rc-1 [ "Edge City" as they used to say when I wore flared jeans ], when I put *put the working screenRect * into the msgBox I get *0,23,1920,1034* that includes the macOS Dock and the menuBar! *put the effective screenRect* just throws an err

What is not working is that 1034 is the number given regardless of whether the words *effective* and *working* are used or not. Richmond. On 13.03.19 21:02, Richard Gaskin via use-livecode wrote: Richmond wrote: > when I put > > *put the working screenRect * > > into the msgBox I get *0,23,19

Yes, there is a valuable lesson: reel in one's impulsive nature, and don't panic. Richmond. On 13.03.19 22:59, Mark Wieder via use-livecode wrote: On 3/13/19 12:10 PM, Richmond via use-livecode wrote: Had that happened initially I would not have started this thread. I think

That presumably means that people can clone that and fiddle about with it themselves there rather than just on their desktops. OR: it could mean that the intention is, eventually, to integrate this into the LC IDE as a permanent feature. Richmond. On 22.03.19 г. 9:09 ч., hh via use-livecode wro

Re: LC application running on lab computers

I don't know much about Windows . . . but, on Macintosh machines and PCs running Linux there is often a folder called "Shared" or somesuch alongside all the user directories: might this not be the place to write a pref file that is going to be shared by all users? Richmond. On 28.03.19 г. 8:45
