Re: How to optimize image processing and rendering in LiveCode - Emmanuel Katto Uganda

Thanks Mark - that's interesting and a bit like the XOJO 'worker machines'. I'm guessing this must be on Windows though as by default on MacOS, you generally can't run multiple instances of the same app... or am I wrong? The solution is to have a small executable that loads libraries that do all th...

Re: How to optimize image processing and rendering in LiveCode - Emmanuel Katto Uganda

Here is an interesting story related to what we used to call Minions. We called them minions to reference the imaginary henchman who did all the work for their leader. This was long before the movie of the same name was conceived. Years later, we demoed the processing speed provided by this techniqu...

Re: How to optimize image processing and rendering in LiveCode - Emmanuel Katto Uganda

You can spin up multiple copies of your app and have them process different images in parallel. This works well with modern CPUs that have multiple cores.

Our CRM will spin up headless processes, tell them what to work on, and quit them when they are done.

Re: How to get the active window title

You are on fire today Andy!

We have used this technique for auto updating our product's executables on both macOS and Windows. You are right that both systems are ok with so far.

I can confirm that xCode 15.0.1 works with LC 9.6.11.

I found this video on YouTube that shows how it can be done in Swift.

Re: Copy & Paste Madness

Here is some code that we use in an app we made called Appli Player. It is used to capture data from native fields and put them into a variable. This code works on all platforms. This is immediately useful within the same app. [Edit contains the result of this effort] I'll try putting it into the cl...

Re: Run the same stack from two LC installs

I have a much better understanding of what is going on here. There are two concerns. 1. Development - keeping updated code in sync between the two devices using the same code base 2. When a game is active - make service as resilient as possible to network outages The development could be improved by...

Re: Run the same stack from two LC installs

...And with Swami's huge project I had trouble finding the handlers I needed in the sea of text files in the git repository. I do all my searching for handlers and other coding practices directly in LiveCode. This is how we would find a handler in a binary stack. Script-only stacks are no different...

Re: Run the same stack from two LC installs

Well said Mark, couldn’t agree more. I’m a single dev and find this invaluable. For bigger teams it’s practically mandatory… [edited for clarification...instead of rapid typing - press submit :wink:] I was inspired by your post on version control Stam to come out. I decided to throw my hat in the r...

Re: Run the same stack from two LC installs

I thank LiveCode, out loud, every day, for script-only stacks. Without them, version control would not be as valuable. I have been around long enough to remember the days before. I am much happier now that we can place our code into text files. We have options when it comes to version control. We en...

Re: Can LC be used to produce Progressive Web Apps?

Maybe LiveCode Create (currently under development) would be a good fit. You can create apps that will run in a web browser. I am not sure what your timeframe is on this project. If it needs to be done soon, you may need to do what Jacque suggested. LiveCode released a video showing what the experie...

Re: App Store submission shows white screen

Try using TestFlight to better approximate what Apple sees when they try your software.

I do this before submitting for review.
