Hi again, Has anyone encountered an issue on KDE Plasma 6 where LiveCode seems to trigger a crash and restart of the shell? Like the taskbar, desktop and such disappear and are restarted for doing seemingly normal stuff in LiveCode? I'm running LiveCode 10.0.0 and doing stuff as simple as opening a ...

After much trial and error and brain and heart ache, I finally got LiveCode 10 installed on CachyOS which runs KDE. The GUI is a no go, you will hit -E error that some rando is keeping the application from updating. So what you need to do instead is download the installer to the machine, make sure ...

Cor: what a rigmarole just to get something installed. MX Linux and LC work very well together without any 'fiddling around'. Regardless the installation can be far more efficient by just providing an archive with the necessary resources. It doesn’t need a fancy installer that seems to be more miss...

To resurrect a thread, I can confirm that a paid for LiveCode Professional 10.0 install still doesn't run on Arch Linux, it stalls at the same -E warning regardless of whether you choose All Users, Only Me or Custom. Nothing is missing from the system as all other applications run, Steam runs, Edge ...

Hi Everyone, I'm potentially contemplating a switch from my current Standard Plan to a Create Standard Plan but wanted to know what the state of licensing is for open source developers, the intention is to develop my apps, open source them under the MPLv2 and last I remember, Create wants to put an ...

I make use of the Icons8 custom icons for my applications and their requirement, if you are using it for free, is to include a reference to Icons8 and a link to their website About section of the website, app, etc. If you are paying for it, they don't have the requirement but state that a credit is ...

Hi Everyone, So I’ve been keeping track of this thread along with the other one mentioned and also had a look at a LiveCode Lessons presentation for LCB about working on widgets and creating libraries. Nothing about FFI but I’ve been perusing the GitHub’s of some known widget devs and it seems like ...

Hello everyone, I’m looking for a beginners guide to utilising LCB to bind to third party library DLLs and SOs and expose functions found within to LiveCode. When I first started with Revolution 2.0, there was a great Hello World tutorial stack that described everything line by line in a way that he...

I just want to chime in on the whole "AI will make or break a business" thing that was discussed earlier. Personally, I'm not fussed about AI taking my job so much as I'm more concerned about the power consumption for the hardware required to run AI and what that means for the climate. Let's not for...

Hi Jacque and mwieder, So yeah, the testing I did seems to confirm what mwieder (Is it Mark? It's been a while since I last saw your name and cannot remember it.) said. It seems the IDE does something odd in that creating a runtime stack, setting the external property for it and then setting the beh...

Hi Jacque, The behaviour stack is just a stack created at runtime, it does not have a presence on disk, my main stack just creates the stack in memory, sets the Externals property to the XML library and then sets its Behavior property to the new stack. If I put the new stack into the back/front scri...

Hi Jacque,

The behaviour itself loads fine, I added a little function that would just return the number 1 to the caller and called it from the mainstack and that is fine, but the External attached to the behaviour stack just will not have it for some reason.

Hi Everyone, I'm working on a command line application at the moment and I've noticed a couple of quirks with it, particular with how it interacts with Windows but apparently there's also some weirdness when used on macOS and Linux but I haven't been able to confirm that. For example, if you double ...

Hi Jacque, I did some further testing and from what I can gather using an external from a behaviour stack in a standalone just flat-out does not work or it is a Standalone home stack quirk. I carried out a series of tests to confirm this: 1. I swapped from setting the behaviour property of my main s...
