Can you just process the raw data without converting it? Then feed the resulting data directly to the UTF8 conversion? This won't work. Any encoding conversion needs to know the source encoding (with the one exception, that the source text contains only 7-bit-ASCII characters). This is pretty much ...

OK, so I have the raw text in gSomeData, and now I have to declare that it is Windows-Encoded (which LiveCode cannot know), and then I have to change the Encoding to utf-8 for my target xml-file. But: put textDecode(gSomeData,"CP1252") into gSomeDataWithDefinedEncoding wouldn't work, as "CP1252" is ...

I have a project where csv-files are delivered from a customer from the windows platform and then they are supposed to be processed to utf-8 encoded XML-files on an OSX machine. The textDecode, textEncode and open file for encoding commands will filter the list of available encodings by the OS, thou...

With only a couple of days left until Feb 1st ... what is the situation with LiveCode for 64bit iOS??? And just to mention: Apple grants another couple of months for updating already submitted Apps to 64bit. So Apps that have been approved in the past, must be provided in 64bit around June. New Apps...

After I done this, and set the applicable execution bit of the installer (6.1.1 Community), installation completed as expected. As I mentioned, all versions up to 6.1.3 worked fine for me, without any fixes (except setting the execution bit of course). libgtk and the other required libraries alread...

i can confirm the problem with the missing text. In my case the behaviour is like this: The Livecode-installers work fine for me until version 6.1.3. The version 6.5.0 installer will not do anything (not even launch). Beginning from version 6.5.1 the installers launch, but show no text anymore, neit...

Any news on this topic? I tried to compile an older app that makes heavy use of the rresocket external with 6.6x, but get the "___libinfoptr_rresocket[...]ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture armv7" error, as described somewhere else in the forums. The same error I get, when I try to compile wit...

This might be obvious knowledge for the more experienced LiveCode developers, but just in case I would like to share my workflow of artwork creation for LiveCode stacks, as this workflow proved incredibly smooth for me in the past. We have a strict separation between design and coding at append[x]. ...

I am proud to announce that our latest LiveCode development has successfully passed the review of the Apple Store and hit the top charts within 24 hours. The app is a variant of Pairs/Concentration for children, where the matching pairs do not look and sound alike, but have to be matched by some lin...

Since about 2 years I have a LiveCode app out on desktop and mobile, that makes use of socket communication (it is a monitoring software for photovoltaic inverters). The Android version was not done in LiveCode, due to the lacking socket-support. The last released version was based on LC 5.5.4. Now ...

Two days ago I made a brave attempt to checkout the XCode 5 Developer Preview. I have iOS 7beta on my iPad since it has been made available and I made good experiences with it - I was especially delighted to see that all my LiveCode Apps would run smoothly under iOS7. Encouraged, I installed XCode 5...

Just a short status message: richmond62 and alcibiades suggested to test LiveCode on alternative desktops (instead of Ubuntu's default Unity environment). I do not think that this a general solution to the problems per se - Ubuntu seems to be the most favorite Linux distro (as the survey in this for...

I repeated all tests again yesterday with 6.0.1 with pretty exactly the same results as before (with a complete deinstallation of LC first). The text marking problem was solved yesterday in the devlist (mark some text and press CMD-C before the mouse button is released), and it seems that this probl...

@richmond62: as I was advised not to discuss release candidates on this forum I will refer to your post on the LiveCode Developer List.
