"To sum up, if mobile app store deploy is not a concern for you, and you aren't worried about Native AppleSilicon support (though I've been told it runs well under Rosetta 2 ), then yeah that particular Open -source xTalk interpreter may be an viable option. Yes, this is exactly my scenario -- I us...

What I mean by dynamic layouting is that when the UI changes in response to user interactions, such that new elements are added, or elements change in size, the UI layout, often in toto, needs to be changed. In LC, this requires often some nifty scripting, but in SwiftUI the framework does that for ...

Yes, no contest with the one-liner sort command. But SwiftUI is pretty nice, i spent much less time setting up the interface elements with it than with life code. It is great at automatic layout of the UI elements. I do not doubt that LC is easier to start with, but for people knowing how to code, S...

Thanks for the Panorama DB link -- that is indeed a pricing model that I thought might work for LC, but maybe they calculated their expected returns and decided to do what they did. I am impressed that you coded this cloud based solution with LC -- something I always thought about to do but in the e...

I assume I did not express myself correctly. I have no problems with developers charging for their work at all — this point does not need further elaboration. As I said, this company should do what they see fit to stay afloat. I simply have the impression that adding some more options to what you ca...

Thank you for these thoughts. To be clear -- yes, for **students** and those teaching programming, the pricing is reasonable. For hobbyists or NGOs, I doubt that they will readily shell out 400 USD to continue using this for one year or simply to recompile existing solutions. I doubt that this group...

Hello I have coded several solutions for my research lab with the community version of live code, which was for free. The fact that it was free drove the decision to use it, but also because I had experience with HyperCard. Since the company abandoned the community editions, pricing became more and ...

Thank you for the link to the video. I have also found a method in python. I'll see whether and how an applescrip; however, I have had never success in executing an applescript out of livecode in the past. It just never worked, and I was never sure what went wrong ...

Hello Klaus: I interpret your response in that from within livecode there is no way to access these macOS databases? Best wishes, Olli.

ElZitouni

Dear Developers,
how could I access and read out the database containing the reminders and calendar entries of apple's Reminders.app and Calendar.app for macOS?
Many thanks for your help,
Olli.

when one is pushed for time the front-end is probably more important than the exact way the "trick" is performed. yes, of course. I am not saying what people should or should not do. I didn’t start this part of the discussion. A trick is great, and somertimes the only way to go, but doing it is not...

Doing one does not exclude doing the other.

What on earth is this recent 'thing' about 'inelegant' and 'inaesthetic' code?
Pretty code, elegant solutions, never read Knuth?

ElZitouni

clever. I think that is probably the best solution — thanks!

I haven't tested or even know whether this is relevant, but within a repeat loop it is often necessary to include a line wait 0 milliseconds with messages or perhaps a few extra milliseconds. This indeed helped ... and thank you for this suggestion which made it work -- however, it is a bit of a ha...
