Re: Saving project files in livecode

That's a great idea SparkOut, I'll be sure to try it next time I'm experimenting with an iterative process.

Saving project files in livecode

Several times, I have rendered livecode unresponsive due to infinite or very long operations - entirely my fault. I ended the process and lost work on a couple of occasions. I'm not sure I understand the saving part of things :shock: When I File -> Save in the Code Editor does that save changes in a...

visual re-alignment of code after changes

After doing things like adding an additional outer loop to existing code, the alignment of text in the code editor is no longer aligned for readability. Until now I have been manually performing an 'Enter' after each code line to realign it with the new loop or other control structure. Is there an e...

Re: variables retain value after opening and closing stack file

Ok, now I have my initialization under control, I can see the remainder. When I close my stack and exit LiveCode, then re-open LiveCode and load my stack, all the fields are still populated with whatever data they had when the stack was closed. To be more specific: 1. Put "testing" into field fFormT...

Re: filter variable watch tab

I found the original post by googling 'revDebuggerValidGlobalNames revdebugger.rev', it does not contain any further detail.

Re: filter variable watch tab

I tried opening the revdebugger.rev stack in LiveCode. I see the application window but I'm unable to see the script for that stack. The application browser is blank with no contents. I am missing something?

Re: variables retain value after opening and closing stack file

Oops. The largest part of this problem was some of my own runtime initialization getting away from me in a big way. Sorry to bother you with that.

Your comments about stack destruction are useful, thanks!

variables retain value after opening and closing stack file

In live code it looks like all variables etc retain their values when the application is restarted. So, if I want to reinitialize all variables in the application (like I often want to after a debug/edit) I have to add code to do that. Is that correct ? Is there any other way ? I am finding it a ver...

Re: Documentation feature request

Well, I couldn't find it on GameTap anywhere.

Tried to post the link here earlier, but I'm getting the "Your account does not have permission to post links or domain/page references" message.

Google "Steam games" without the quotes and it should be the first result.

Re: Documentation feature request

Thanks for that. Just took a look at your website btw, Cosmic Osmo is not available from GameTap, but it is available from Steam.

By a stroke of luck it happens to be packaged with the Myst games & I have been looking for a version that runs on Vista :D

filter variable watch tab

Is there a way to filter the view for the variable watch tab?

I am not using the path information at present so I would like to remove all $PATH type ($) variables from the watch window.

Thanks!
