Re: Using the Shell (command) and Exiftool

I have finally managed to build a standalone that uses exiftool. However there were several bumps along the way which I detail below in the hope that others will not have to spend so much time seeking work arounds. My aim was to produce a standalone that had exiftool bundled with it. Reading the Liv...

Re: Using the Shell (command) and Exiftool

#Paul Thanks you were correct that it was an issue with paths. I found this thread from a few years ago https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?t=37525#p220183 where a link to a python script is described which helped me understand the settings to use to call executables on the system. I also disc...

Using the Shell (command) and Exiftool

Hi all, I have just spent the day trying to use Exiftool from a Livecode application. I now suspect that there is a flaw in my understanding of how "things" should be working so am asking for my home work to be marked. I am writing in Livecode v10 running on a mac M2 under OS Sonoma. Exiftool is a w...

Re: Livecode Create - thoughts?

Kevin quoted from above Almost everyone creates apps in company time and/or the company owns the IP and does need an Internal license in that case. This seems open to interpretation to me and As far as I can tell that largely holds true also seems to introduce a level of uncertainty. I wish you both...

Re: Livecode Create - thoughts?

Hi,
I suggest that you contacted Runrev directly with you use case as no one here fully understands the fine print. Stam may well be correct in that as you retain the IPR of the applications and make no money from them that there will be no further license payments required.

Good luck

Simon

One I like and mentioned previously is the one used by Parorama DB: http://www.provue.com/#pricing
I had forgotten about Parorama. The pricing is really competitive and the application looks interesting and is described as Hypercard like.

Re: Livecode Create - thoughts?

reimbursed in any way by the company The devil is in the detail. My understanding is that if I use Livecode while at work on a normal working day then in effect I am being reimbursed by the company as I am being paid and it can be argued that they are getting benefit and therefore additional licens...

Re: Livecode Create - thoughts?

Stam, I think the problem for cmhjon is in this line Although I own my license, I do write apps on and off company time but make no money on them If the code is written in company time then cmhjon is being paid to create the code despite coding not being part of their job description. QED the compan...

Re: Forum wide naming convention for Livecode Create?

It seems that "LCC" is a popular abbreviation on the discourse forum plus its brief.

Have RunRev indicated that the discourse forum is the one to be used or is this forum going to be updated with sections for both LCC and LCL (Livecode Legacy)?

Re: Forum wide naming convention for Livecode Create?

But there’s also the complication that Create has its own forum: https://discourse.livecode.com/
Thanks for the link which I was unaware of.

Forum wide naming convention for Livecode Create?

I am making this post having just searched for "Livecode Create" using the forums built in search engine. It returns the standard message that the two terms are too common. So I wonder if during the transition period a searchable naming convention should be adopted when referring to Livecode Create ...

Re: Table field locks Livecode

Hi Bernd,

Thanks for taking a look and confirming what I am seeing. I'm not sure its worth a bug report given that the focus is all on Create.

Re: Table field locks Livecode

Hi Bernd, Unfortunately the fault does not appear once the stack has been saved and then reloaded. The fault is infrequent so difficult to pin down. I have just seen the fault again and using cmd stop does break the freeze but on most runs the fault does not appear. I'm not even sure if changing the...

Table field locks Livecode

I am using LC 9.6.13 rc 1 on Mac OS Sonoma. I created a new blank default stack and added a table field. Next I set the tabs to 150,0 and adjusted the width of the table field to display a single column. Then I manually added text to the cells e.g. row 1, row2, row 3, row 4 etc. So far so good. Note...

Re: Why me???

Craig,

I'm sure that in the past I have run into similar issues when using the equality test. Why it works sometimes and not others is anyones guess but the greater or less than tests do seem reliable.
