Thanks Stryder, ClipArtGuy, Richmond ! I'm actually a software preservationist at heart. Call it a software hoarding issue. ... I'm working with a software archiver in Europe who runs a very large archive site, and he has managed to download some of the installers through caches. Can't say how, but...

Hmmm, I think I know what you mean. I've found that when I move the red dot with A and D keys, it drastically slows down any animations currently looping (the green square). Can you see what I'm doing wrong? https://www.tsites.co.uk/downloads/key-anim/Untitled1.livecode.zip https://www.tsites.co.uk/...

For anyone still following this, I solved the issues I was having. I used lockscreen (thank you bogs - I know what you mean now), and instead of using multiple 'sends' to various buttons, I moved all the scripts inside the card. Previously I was trying to send the handlers to various card objects co...

Not sure what to suggest here. This is the expected behaviour when I try it: https://www.tsites.co.uk/downloads/newline.png The new line appears without scrolling the text field to the bottom. One thing I could think of, where did you copy your text from? Perhaps there's some characters (unicode or ...

So, managed to find an older Macbook Air, running OSX 10.11. This is a generic, fresh 10.11 install. The tests match mine on my 10.11 desktop. So, I think the performance lag is specific to OSX 10.11 in Livecode. Not sure what causes it. All other programs are butter-smooth. No high CPU use in other...

True, but let's say tomorrow the major chip manufacturers announce they are going to make a 128bit processor (unlikely, because they are all at home). Like what happens with a 64 bit chip currently, where 32bit software would run - the same would be true with the 128bit system. Older 64bit software ...

I guess if suddenly they release a new type of processor, an unidentified model. The shell would know what it is because the operating system needs a working shell, so better to query the shell for the answer.

Hi everyone. Having a few real issues with animation speeds not being consistent across different platforms. For example: https://www.tsites.co.uk/downloads/animtests/anim-test-png-sprites.mp4 This seems to run fine and is a simple load of PNGs being loaded into a button, while the button is being m...

Something like this perhaps then?
Which works on Mac, Linux and Windows.

If you want to know if it's a 32bit or 64bit machine, I know how to do it on the mac. You could use: paste this into a field called "script" on the card set xvar to do shell script "getconf LONG_BIT" set yvar to do shell script "sysctl -n machdep.cpu.brand_string" display dialog "Running a " & xvar ...

https://www.tsites.co.uk/downloads/screenshot-mac-10.14.png And next to no slowdown under OSX 10.14. So, question is, what is wrong with: A: My OSX 10.11 B: All OSX 10.11 Long shot, but if someone else is on OSX 10.11 and can do a test, that would be great. Until then, I'll see if I can beg / borro...

True, but that's perhaps just bad design. You can have a complicated program - but as long as you explain underneath what the options do, have the documentation next to the button.

So, tested on OSX 10.7 https://www.tsites.co.uk/downloads/screenshot-mac-10.7.png (forgot to turn on the box for accelerated rendering under OSX 10.7, but meh - performance not too bad anyway). and on OSX 10.11 https://www.tsites.co.uk/downloads/screenshot-mac-10.11.png (nearly maxed out. Frame rate...

You could use put "hdiutil create -volname 'targetvol' -encryption -srcfolder 'pathtodatafolder' -ov -format UDRO 'nameofnewdmg.dmg'" into mycmd put shell(mycmd) -- targetvol (What your disk image icon name will be) -- pathtodatafolder (can be a folder or existing drive) - where the data is copied f...

That's a wealth of information as far as documentation goes.
Having said that, if a program is designed in an intuitive way, then less documentation is required.
