Scripting IDE

HI, Whenever I open Livecode I'm always spending a minute or two placing my windows. If I understand correctly I could probably deal with this by creating a simple plugin. So my questions are: 1. In a script can I get a list of all open stacks? 2. How would I open the Script Editor, Property Inspect...

Re: Livecode 2016 Conference Streaming Bundle

I was told they were being recorded. Some wouldn't make sense though, like hacking sessions.

Previous conferences have made good effort to record pretty much everything. Though the quality might be a bit rough on some.

Re: open DMP File

I should add, the .DMP file is just a text file, but it would be nice to limit the user to that extension when they chose a file. thanks!

open DMP File

HI
Very basic question (I hope).

I need to create an open button which opens a .DMP file (which is just a text file from a database dump)
and place it into a text field.

I was having two issues, now to limit the section to .DMP files, then how to get that into the text field.

thanks!

Livecode and Xcode Versions

Hi, I had Livecode 7.1.1 (rc4) and Xcode 6.4 on my machine and the simulator was working fine. Then I installed Livecode 8.0 (dp10) and Xcode 7.2 (I left both Xode's in my app folder, just named them differently) and now the test and test target menu's are grey so I can't run the iOS simulator. Any ...

Re: Monitoring a Folder

that works, yes, I used to do similar with prepress processing of files (though with apple script). Good idea. could probably just have one file in the folder at any time....thx

Re: Monitoring a Folder

Like a timer, then yes.

File names have a number on them, new files a higher number.

So build a recursive handler, each time it get a list off all the file names in a folder with a loop. Sort to find the highest number.

That make sense?

thanks!

Re: Monitoring a Folder

HI, timing is pretty critical. I'd like to know within a second or two. I'm trying to build a poker calculator for online play and some tracking software. It's been done before but it's a fun little project to work on while I do the Create It course. So once a hand is finished a text file drops in a...

Monitoring a Folder

Hi, I've got a folder with a few hundred (to a few thousand) text files in it. Every 3-30 seconds a new text file will appear in it. I'd like to know what the new file is (i.e. it's filename) so I can open run so tests on its contents. Any suggestions as to what the most elegant way to tackle this i...
