I guess my only problem is using scalefactor. It's so easy to reduce the size of your project on the screen but when you use it, it can't be centered.

If you use that scalefactor and set it to .7 centering will send it up and left. You can't get rid of it once it's been saved. You must put in .1 to change it.. Erase the .1 scalefactor and the stack REVERTS to .7 even though it's not part of the code anymore. Forever corrupted it seems to me but I'...

Oh, I have this in the preopenstack: set the scaleFactor of this stack to .7

I can't seem to get the stack centered on the screen. I put send centerme in the openstack with on centerMe set the loc of this stack to the screenLoc end centerMe And nothing changes. I can drag the stack to the center of the screen but when I Command M and type send centerme, it jumps up and to th...

Scalefactor seems great. Just makes a smaller-sized stack, pictures and everything. Thank you very much one and all.

Thanks for answering so soon.

What code can I write in the stacks that will insure they'll run on most (or all) machines without this problem?

I have a splash screen that connects to some stacks but in my STANDALONE in Windows, the screen and the stacks are too big for the screen. What do I put in my stacks and splash screen to make them properly viewable on a Windows machine as a standalone? Will Linux be a problem too? Thanks... https://...

Oh, now I get it. It makes sense. The stacks I made before are just accessed through the launcher. They never become standalones. It's good because I have four programs that have the exact same set-up. The user can choose any of them from the splash screen on the launcher. Thank you very much. I'm l...

I've looked around to find out about this and people say I must create a stack that is not a substack of the project because it won't be editable. My problem is that I don't know how to create a stack that isn't a substack and thus a part of the un-editable standalone. I just need a little editable/...

Thank you. That works!

Is there a way I can get LiveCode to not only display file names from folders as I do, but also to change the actual names of files within a folder? I have a list of files like this that is quite long: 8925277_orig.jpg 2380696_orig.jpg 3075177_orig.jpg 982577_orig.jpg The numbers are not helpful to ...

on mouseUp answer folder "Choose a folder..." if it is not empty then set the defaultFolder to it put "Folders - " & cr & the folders & cr & cr & "Files - " & cr & the files into field "Field" filter field "Field" without ".." end mouseUp This code will save me a lot of time. I can just alter it to ...

My username is a hokey stage name because I sing western tunes along with 20s, 30s, and 40s jazz standards. I don't really like the handle (too redneck for me) but it's seems to have stuck. I've done a lot of hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon numerous times on numerous trails: the Hermit, the...

Oh, I now see that Richard Gaskin has also touched upon the issue I mentioned at the end of my response.

Thanks for clearing this up for me. I appreciate your taking the time to test this for me. I now remember that there are folders that look like files. In fact, I remember now that standalones in Runtime Rev are apps that are really folders too. I didn't think about that and so I wanted to ask about ...
