Re: Why does my LiveCode script fail to properly update and pass data between stacks using send and dispatch
Hard to follow the block of text. A simple example stack exhibiting the issue will help us resolve it in seconds. I suspect it has to do with variable names quoted in a way that causes them to be seen instead as strings, but I'm just guessing. An example stack will turn guessing into a solution quic...

Re: Livecode Standard Plan
The scripting language is there, the Classic IDE is needed to build Create, many of the bug reports make reference to using Classic. At the end of the day, you can build the Create IDE in Classic (indeed, that's what they're doing), but not the other way around. I see Classic as a less attractive po...

Re: Livecode Standard Plan
My understanding is that sometime next year the current engine will cease getting support and updates. It should continue to work, but if any supported OS changes there will be no fixes after Classic is discontinued. I'm not clear on how current licenses will be managed. Yes, the engine path forwar...

Re: Livecode Standard Plan
continue using it as the workshop where Create is worked on The company may do that: but whether they are going to continue licensing it to others is another question. What conjecture about any future doesn't involve unknowns? I'm just looking at the pragmatic aspects from a business owner perspect...

Re: Livecode Standard Plan
Richard. Classic IDE is still available as an option in Create, and I can't imagine any benefit in adding the additional expense of somehow purging it later on. "Still available..." That seems like a tenuous hope; the effort of maintaining its compatibility with Create might either orphan it, or re...

Re: Livecode Standard Plan
Richard. Am I somehow disingenuous in my thinking that only classic can do anything, never mind that Create can do lots of things? I'm not sure how "disingenuous" could apply. It's all more or less the same engine, with the biggest difference being the IDE stacks files. One of the things I've enjoy...

Re: Adventures into matchChunk and regex
Otherwise you are oftentimes out of luck. The number and variety of rules for defining English sentence boundaries is probably knowable, and certainly within the range of modern computing horsepower to use. The question is: who has the expertise in both linguistics and computer science to pull it o...

Re: Livecode Standard Plan
On another note, will there be a "standard", "classic", whatever option in Create going forward? Classic IDE is still available as an option in Create, and I can't imagine any benefit in adding the additional expense of somehow purging it later on. I can see how it might become unsupported at some ...

Re: Livecode Standard Plan
I’m old enough to feel nostalgic for freeware and shareware. :wink: Once I’ve swallowed the bitter pill of broken promises, I might console myself by making my projects available to everyone. It’s hard to give up on your dreams I suspect you and I are of similar age, which more or less answers the ...

Re: Adventures into matchChunk and regex
The task was to break up short texts into 3, 4 or 5 paragraphs. I manged that by counting full stops "." and determine the number of sentences that should make up a paragraph. I would start this exercise at the beginning, asking, "For what purpose?" A paragraph isn't a quantity, but a semantic unit...

Re: Livecode Community on Apple Silicon
The heart wants what the heart wants, but given your talents if I had any say in it I'd rather see you work on that engine compile than a tedious rote task.

Re: Livecode Community on Apple Silicon
The IDE stacks are where branding is user-facing, and as you know are separate from the compiled engine. Given how often the brand name shows up across the IDE, rebranding is a fair bit of work. You might consider using the IDE stacks Paul worked on for OXT, and maybe coordinating your build as a fo...

Re: Is forever really forever?
Richmond, dismissing reasonable security measures so sweepingly is the point; the exact wording of the dismissal less so. If you think codesigning is a solid good move you'd have saved us both time by simply using words that reflect what you mean to express. Your reply concludes with a confirmation ...
