Apologies to Manolo, I think my skepticism has gone too far. I hardly trust anyone these days. All real people should beware.

Hola Manolo,

where have you been the last 15 years?

He wasn't invented yet.

But will I still have you? I've been wondering about that myself. My Mac has been shut down for months and professional work has dried up. I'm deep into the Android ecosystem now and do almost everything on tablets and my Chromebook which I find superior to iOS. What I'd prefer is a way to tinker o...

I asked Google Gemini and it gave a precise response with caveats, basically that the wind speed must be strong enough, otherwise no:

So just for my own edification, can anyone tell me where and when in the ongoing evolution of LC, starting from today, I can retire in my old age, close my relationship with LC , and never having used Create still make and use stacks? In other words, when must I leave the fold, take my program and ...

Yes, but in that case you cannot even draw anything on a card at all! I think you can, you can do almost anything but leaving the card removes all changes. Maybe something changed? I wasn't aware of the image bug, which is probably the cause. But just to note: cantModify does allow scripted changes...

Check both the card and stack properties to see if the cantModify property is true. The symptoms sound like that's the case.

I see. So there's a flaw in the widget, and I don't think there's much you can do outside of writing a bug report.

What form of the export command are you using? If I remember correctly using a rectangle rather than an object takes a screenshot of whatever is visible within the rect. If the form data is showing on screen, it should be captured with the screenshot. It may be pixelated though.

Have you considered using "export snapshot" to create the jpgs? The drawback is that you'd get a series of images if the PDF is more than one page.

The problem (such as it is) is NOT LC (and . . .) it is the lack of any attempt at any sort of marketing that has any rhyme or reason, as has been the case for many, many years.

They are marketing, just not to us so much. As I said, we're not the target group any more so you're unlikely to see it.

I believe their main focus now is custom application programming for larger corporations and businesses. LC still welcomes small developers like us but we aren't the primary target group now.

I think this is something that LC has to implement, check with support to see where this requirement stands.

It's like it buffered lots of the scroll down action, and was trying to catch up to that action before reversing. Using stam's test stack with the 10k rows and filling the scroll buffer, it took *12 seconds* to start reversing. I don't have an answer but I can confirm that the preloading of subsequ...
