The "cantModify" of the test stack I made was "false".

Bernd. I do not understand. If I paint a line on a new card, it is true that the rect of the "image" of that line fills the card window. Save that stack. It is lost if I close and reopen. An imported image, however, allows the paint to survive if that paint lies within the rect of that image. What a...

Bernd. Well, I see what you meant. If you import an image, and I guess that could be 100% whiteSpace that fills the card window, then any painting you do within the rect of that image sticks. Note that you can only paint within the image rect because the tools fail to paint at all outside it. They w...

Bernd. Could you try to create an image object of the size and location you want first and then do your drawing- Why would that be of any use, even if it worked? The whole point of paint tools, awkward as they are, is lost if you have to prep them with an image. In that case, what do you need to pai...

Bernd. I never use paint tools, though I remember back in 1987 I doodled a lot with HC. In a new stack I made a small "drawing" using each of the seven standard paint tools in the toolbar, rectangle, line, brush, etc. I saved the stack and re-opened. All the doodles except for the line and polygon d...

OK,
Craig

Part 1. When you say "place", do you need a way to automate that process, because there are a lot of controls? Or because they need to follow some sort of pattern on the card? Something else? Part 2. A widget is really just another type of control. You can pull it from the tools palette, from the Ob...

Hi. Are you asking how to "use" a stack within LC? All the chatter here seemed to me to indicate that you wanted to open other applications from within LC, but not run LC from within LC. "launch" is your friend there. But this latest: start using stack "stack name" or go stack "stackName" ... Threw ...

Richmond ...but, clicking on the revMenubar bit that protruded above the LibreOffice window top, that stack came to the front, but my stack did not... If I understand you, you clicked on the revmenuBar, which brought LC (the app) to the front but not any LC stacks. Is that what you meant? If so, it ...

Richmond.

We will know something has fundamentally shifted when robots do not simply detect snarkiness and reply appropriately, but rather feel outrage and push back with emotional fervor.

Craig

Ah, but witnesses and evidence were left at the scene. We know the AI was named "spunkiBot", which is not smart, the "Bot" part easy for detectives to find. We know it caused Richmond to respond in a snarky way. But I think Richmond was in on it from the beginning and is trying to cover his tracks. ...

Rusty was clear and spot on.

I only mention this to confirm, since that was a recent discussion, that there are a lot of LC people out there that have never posted here. I wonder how many.

Craig

Stam. That is what I thought. I will stick with LC forever since it does all I could want. When Create is really running I will try it in earnest, but will not care if i revert back to "classic". Why? I run three different factory production machines using LC through a gadget that communicates to th...

What Klaus said. But as a new user, here is what I have done for a stack I use. This is on a Mac. This uses the "open File" command and creates and writes to a file on my desktop. In this simple example, the variable "filepath" is "/users/craignewman/desktop/myFile.txt" The data it writes is up to y...
