Re: Message windows

@trevix: This is (old?) macOS quirk - by default windows which are of 'palette' type are hidden when the app is not in the foreground. You can change this by doing:

Code: Select all

set the hidePalettes to false

Re: But how is this possible?

Human error can never be ruled out, but the difference in accuracy was observed using a French text rather than an English one. I'll be running further tests to try to confirm or refute this observation. So it *might* be related to Unicode in that there might be more characters you now need to stri...

Re: But how is this possible?

But I still say that all this takes us away from the original question, which has not really been addressed. As a reminder, my post wasn't aimed at improving script quality (it is not the good forum for that), but at understanding the reasons behind the difference in speed between different version...

Re: LiveCode x32 vs x64 any essential differences between them?

@Tonaras: So functionally there is little difference between the 32-bit and 64-bit windows engines - the exact same C++ code is compiled and the exact same system APIs are used. The main difference is that 64-bit windows processes do not have the 'total 3gb of memory available' limit - so you can ha...

Re: Problem with Mobile Support

@matgarage: Update to 10.0.1-rc-3 and you will be fine - we changed the way iOS apps are built in 10.0.1 so that it no longer matters what version of Xcode / SDKs you have installed - you just need Xcode installed (as the standalone builder uses a couple of the command line tools only it contains). ...

Re: Can save as standalone for Windows and Linux but not Mac

@kaveh1000: I suspect the issue here is the same as others have faced - you cannot build standalones into folders which sync with iCloud. The mechanism employed for that by the OS adds 'extended attributes' (presumably to work out what has and hasn't synced) and these disrupt the code signing proces...

Re: "Disallowed xattr com.apple.FinderInfo" error

@rayjbenet: So in the original post, the problem is almost certainly to do with the standalone being built in a folder controlled by iCloud - iCloud likes to add extended attributes to files, and these are incompatible with codesigning. The solution there is to target a folder which isn't being cont...

Re: JSONExport - rounding weirdness

@KimD: So the lines: Put (1000.001) into dataForApi["quantity_product"] Put (1000001/1000) into dataForApi["quantity_product"] Are not quite the same. In the first line '1000.001' is actually treated internally as a string (for various irksome reasons that are very difficult to change), this means t...

Re: iOS device compatibility question

@SteveB: Do you get the crash when the app is built with 10.0.1-rc-1? If so, then it probably isn't that unfortunately - those iOS binaries are linked using Xcode 14.x (I can't remember the exact version) which doesn't have Apple's new linker (which had numerous bugs in Xcode 15.x - most of which ar...

Re: tsNetSmtpSync sending Email with attachment does not work

@trevis: We found the cause of this problem - the update of the MIME library to support custom headers resulted in the 'standard' mime headers not being emitted in the same order... While the RFCs don't suggest that header order is important, it obviously is to some SMTP servers! We've adjusted this...

Re: Cannot create standalone

@kaveh1000: So I suspect there is nothing wrong with the standalone - its just that Apple doesn't let apps which aren't signed properly (using a certificate from an Apple developer account), or notarized open directly on other machines. (The S/B signs apps with an 'ad hoc' signature so that they wil...

Re: There is Really nothing currently available like LC 9 & 10

@DR White: I can assure you it does - you can freely switch between both the new Create IDE and existing Classic IDE. Both environments use the same underlying engine which is fully backwards compatible.

Re: Cannot create standalone

@Kaveh: I've tried locally and cannot reproduce this problem - however, we think we've seen a similar error reported before if you try and build a standalone into a folder which is enabled for iCloud sync? Is that the case here?
