Jan, thank you! I should have thought to see whether there was a property involved, but it confused me that everything worked as expected except on Windows. I had gone through some of the early tutorials in which card navigation was tied to buttons and I thought that was always the way Rev handled m...

Hi Everyone, I have a memorizer stack that works great within Rev on my Mac but intermittently causes the card to change unexpectedly when the stack is made into a Windows standalone. I'm using rev 4 still, if that matters. The script is on my main card of my stack and looks like what I've pasted be...

Hi Klaus,

Thank you for your help!

Hi, I'm relatively new with RunRev / LiveCode and I was hoping someone had advice for how to move a cursor to the beginning of a text field. Right now I've got several fields set up so that when a user clicks Enter the data will be saved. That all works fine, and then the field is emptied, but I can...

Hi Bernd,

I looked at the answer box and thought it all looked Ok, but clearly I didn't see the extra space. I also much prefer this:

ask file "Choose a file name and location?" with "myexample.txt" titled "Folder Name"

to what I originally had. Thank you for your help!

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to learn how to create a file from within RunRev and store it to a location selected by the user. This is the code I've written so far. on mouseUp answer folder "What is the folder name?" titled "Folder Name" put it into tFolder ask "Enter a file name" titled "File name" put ...

That makes sense. Knowing this, I think what I'll do is install Windows into VirtualBox for testing the Windows standalones.

It's actually working properly now. I used Crossover Mac for testing the Windows standalone, and it ran the exe just fine but would not display all the images (though one image appeared normal under Crossover). My experience with Crossover Mac has been that software either runs perfectly or not at a...

Hi Curry, thanks for your help on this issue. I missing something, I guess, but I haven't been able to see what. As far as I could tell from reading the user guide my image is included with the stack and not as a reference. I did this by: Creating a new card for graphics On that card going into the ...

I think I spoke too soon. It is working correctly on the Mac standalone only, but the Windows standalone doesn't display the png file. Instead I see a black box on the Windows standalone instead of the png file. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks for your help, again.

Everything seems to be working now, but only if I manually copy the sqlite database folder into the package file on OSX or into the folder for the Windows standalone. Otherwise I find that RunRev just places a 4 kb file there instead of the full database. I checked Copy Files under Standalone Applic...

Other image: Imported in stack or set to a filepath?

Thanks! I browsed for the image again on my image card, and then reset the icon & background properties of the button in question. Now it is working correctly.

I followed the Rev tutorial on skinning buttons, and it seems to work perfectly until I save a standalone. When I load the standalone (Mac version) the graphic is replaced by a gray box. Although the button works properly, the image isn't displayed at all. I checked the ID on the image on my graphic...

Your problem with standalones using the Query Builder is that it stores the full path to the SQLite database file in its connection information; so once you move the application to adifferent computer, and don't place it in exactly the same spot, it won't find the file. Yes, that's exactly what is ...

I'll give that a try. I had tried this before, but ran into problems and then found that the query builder met my needs (except when I try to distribute it as a standalone with the database file). So, with the direct connection approach and revOpenDatabase, does the C:/ path information need to be i...
