Hi Larry
I would put it in live code but! The LC issue with relational databases is
not so good. That is why the LC people used DataGrids to do the Dictionary
and that doesn't present the best way to do searches and to use a
relational table design.
My issue with LiveCode is you need to first learn the language, and that
is
a starting point to then learn the scripting. I wanted to develop a tool
that allows me to do a global search by a word, or a phrase and then see
everything in the entire dictionary that has that word or phrase. It also
needs to allow the users to add their own code or definitions data to any
part of the dictionary. I wanted it to have subrecords under the main LC
dictionary words where the user could add their own custom uses for that
term. Then also have user defined search words that are a part of
extensions and plugins. I also wanted plugin and extensions developers to
add their custom content to the user defined area. Not done yet, then
custom behaviors usage and custom property example can be added to the
user
defined records. The icing on the cake is the built in Google translation
editor where users can convert any text to their language.
All of the data will be available to edit, copy and paste into external
media or scripts. NOTE: I have hundreds of hours in the development and
that is only to add data, it will have ongoing support to maintain the
dictionary. That does not include the hosting fees. So I will have two
types of users, those who can see all of the records, but cannot edit or
copy data. Then for an annual donation of $12.00 or $1 month per user you
will have full access to all the features like editing copy, paste an so
on.
Thank you
Vaughn Clement

Hello Vaughn,
That's great. I hope you're saying the app would integrate directly into
LiveCode? I really don't want to have it be a separate app, but even
that
would be OK if your app also includes ALL the LC dictionary and notes.

Hi larry
I am in the process of doing just what your asking for, a dictionary
that
allows you to edit, add, and save code. It will be online in the next 15
days. I will even have Google translate in the app where you can convert
the scripts or text to any language. I will annonce the app very soon.

Hello Everyone,
Over a year ago I wrote to RR and suggested they allow the user to add
notes directly to the LC dictionary. (for private viewing)
I understand why they need to approve notes that are added for public
viewing.
But there are literally HUNDREDS of times where I have to figure
something
out that is NOT documented in the dictionary. A recent example: I had
trouble with the cursor disappearing once I compiled. Happily,
Jacqueline
answered the question in here for me. What I want to do is go to the
dictionary and make my OWN note about that under "cursor" - since I
don't
have a photographic memory and because LC for me is a hobby and not a
profession, I will sometimes go months without using it. It's too
difficult to remember everything.
Sure, I could make a spreadsheet with "cursor" in column 1 and my notes
in
column 2 - whatever. But that seems like a pretty dopey solution.
I hope some of you will agree with me that this feature would be VERY
useful and a great timesaver. Then let's rattle the LC cage.
Thanks for listening.
Larry
