Hmmm ... not sure why.
Easy way : https://www.tweedly.org/Downloads/samplestacks.livecode
Or: start the IDE, and in the toolbar (4th or so from the right) is
"Sample Stacks".
Then
- select "View as: List"
- select "All" on left hand side
- select "Sort by: Date"
- then reverse order the sort - and it's the most recent one !!
Or - select "Plugin" in the tags column (5th one down), then type
"sample" in the search box and hit "Go"

Upgrading this could be a very useful project. There is a lot of content in

So I had a look at what could be done just within the IDE for revonline. There's an old joke about
a tourist in Ireland who realizes she(*) is lost, and ask for directions from an old farmer at the
side of the road. "Well", says he, "if I wanted to go there, I wouldn't start from
here."
I found the revonline scripts rather complex, and I couldn't easily see how to
solve the issues mentioned previously, in that context. And the bottom line is
that it's not a complex problem that needs to be solved. The login / register /
upload features all work just fine - the problems are with the searching /
browsing / filtering, and are generally related to either (very) poor
performance or unclear UI.
In the end, I just couldn't produce worthwhile improvements, so instead I wrote
a plugin that handles the searching / filtering / browsing / downloading parts,
and which omits the login/upload parts entirely.
It can be downloaded from "Sample Stacks" in the IDE toolbar (it's called "Sample
Stacks" and is tagged as IDE and Plugin). Install as a plugin in the usual way.
UI is very similar to the existing IDE version - simplified a bit.
- search box automatically (and immediately) updates as you type, so the "Go"
button was removed
- everything happens in < 1 second, so the progress bar was removed.
- the grid/list choice was removed (the old 'list' stye was hard to use or
understand)
- tags in the left-hand box are alphabetized
- the grid is a single long scrolling group, rather than being paged and
scrolled
There is one issue I haven;t tracked down yet - sometimes the scrolling using mousepad
doesn't work initially; scrolling with the scrollbar seems to be enough to
"revive" it.
Let me know if you try it and have any problems or suggestions.
Thanks
Alex.
(*) "she" is not sexist - had it been a man he would never have admitted to
being lost and so would never have asked the question :-)
