I am clearly spoiled by having used the LCS environment for so long. What are the recommended debugging strategies to be used when developing complex libraries? Are there any LCB debugging tools in the roadmap?

Thanks Mark. I figured that it was still very early in the implementation and this is one of the more complicated areas. I do think that you are going need a mechanism to allow the user to specify the path to the desired library. It might be reasonable to make assumptions of the locations of the sys...

@ Mark I am also interested in the taking advantage of the ability to build wrappers to get access to native libraries. Can you elaborate a bit on how this is envisioned to work at the architectural level. I think I see what you are trying to do at the language level with the data type bindings. Wha...

I have added some routines that will do Raspberry Pi GPIO to my MasterLibrary. There are instructions for getting around the permissions issue in the comments.

Enjoy...

Here is a link to my MasterLibrary. Field formatting is an area that you can test forever, but I think it is good enough to share If there is a corner case that I missed, please let me know. https://www.dropbox.com/s/3wpwn3hfbmpl7sk/MasterLibrary.livecode?dl=0 I included a soft break function as wel...

I am very happy to say that I was proven wrong. We ARE able get the information needed to understand how the engine calculated the soft line wraps. Many thanks to Bernd for his tip. If you put the formattedtext of a line that has be wrapped into a variable, the variable will contain the text of each...

I was contacted directly with an idea that I will explore further. Apparently we can put the formattedText of a line of a field into a variable and it will retain the soft wrap characteristics of the original line. We might be able to derive the formatting information of each soft line as we should ...

Craig, you are correct. All lines don't have returns. So much for my specification writing career. The work that I did trying to address the Scrolling in a Field was a big part of the research that worked up to this proposal. I rarely use fields with fixed line heights to line wrapping is a big deal...

I would like the forums assistance in flushing out a enhancement request proposal that I would like to make to the development team. Because of a bug in the pageranges function where it did not take into account the spaceabove and spacebelow properties, i attempted to do this manually. I quickly lea...

A few of the solutions in the thread don't take into account a bug in livecode where the spaceabove and space below properties are not taken into account. Specifically (put the formattedHeight of line 1 to tLOS of fld 1 into tScroll) is a problem and it has been reported. Here is my generalized solu...

Is there anything you need to do regarding permissions? I seem to be able to do step ! successfully, but I get a folder not found error when I attempt step 2. The interesting part is that when I do this from the terminal it all seems to work fine. I am just having difficult doing it thru livecode. P...

Take advantage of the dgVScroll scroll property of the datagrid. When the grid is initialized it is set to 0 and the first line is at the top.

It looks like Sqlite 3.2.8. This is a bit dissapointing as it is over 2 years old.

What version of SQLite is supported in Rev? 3.x I hope. Anyone know for sure?
