LiveCode Forums.

THINKING OUT OF THE BOX Today I taught LiveCode to a 14-year-old Ukrainian student, and it is still fun and would be/would have been so great to see LiveCode as a true alternative to existing languages. But is the future for LC/LC Script bright enough to invest time, money, enthusiasm, hopes...? Wi...

Oh, thank you very much, Richard

Hi all Before writing a bug report, and avoiding false-positive, here is a snapshot of a warning of my virus detection progrqam hinting at a Virus in LiveCode on Windows 11: In my case, the file path is: "C:\Program Files\RunRev\LiveCode 10.0\Runtime\Windows\x86-32\Externals" Anybody had similar war...

@bogs 25 Dec. 2024 Putting myself into the shoes of anybody reading this post, I would probably be lost with terms such as MC, FOSS, etc. What do these acronyms mean? And what was the contribution meant to say? [b]New direction of LiveCode[/b] If the new direction of LiveCode has no appeal then it w...

The situation does not change. The problem continues.
The "dragdrop" messages is never sent.

A workaround: Just place use the message "dragEnter" and work from there:

Richard, the file type is associated with LiveCode.exe, and the registry shows it. Otherwise, it would not show the icon and launch. But maybe something else in the registry is wrong.

@Sparkout @Richard ... Yes, it seems so that it is a problem with Windows only. I should not have to create a workaround. I assume most here are not using Windows otherwise it would already have been a discussion point. Of course, I can open files from the IDE, but it is not as convenient in most ca...

Yes, as I said from the beginning, the relaunch handler only seems to work in a standalone, as the dictionary states. Yes, I am using Windows 11 latest version. Klaus made another observation, but I cannot reproduce. I am uskng .livecodei or .rev as the file extensions.

Just to make sure that I am not mistake, I tested it with three different stacks. The script is in the stack script. The stack is not dependent on any other stack or resources. on relaunch ## end relaunch Now, for example, saving a copy of the stack to the same folder the running stack is located, a...

Yes, I tried exactly this. Even before writing of course. You are on Windows?
That is interesting. Are there any settings that may be different?

Klaus: on relaunch -- quit ---- :-) end relaunch is not recognized in the IDE. It does not fire. I cannot think of any solution that is simply scriptable. When opening a file from anywhere except from inside a running instance, a new instance is started. In some cases, this may be desired. In most c...

Klaus, thank you for your reply. I had checked that. It does not work in the IDE, only for standalones.

In Windows 11 double clicking a .livecode file (application extension:.livecode, .rev) opens that file in a new instance of LiveCode.exe which I want to prevent. I want to open the file in the IDE of the currently executing LiveCode instance as if opening from the IDE. Maybe I have overseen a soluti...

@Jacques -- I completely oversaw the property "metadata" and never used it. Thanks for the hint. Roland

Stamp. thank you... Yes, you are right. There is a wealth of educated people based on top level education. I got most of the developers from the universities. It was a wonderful experience working with such groups of developers, and we really had fun. I think it would be great if it is possible to f...
