I'm considering submitting an enhancement request for some silly issues that affect standalones.
I just spent an annoying hour trying to figure out why when wanting to change the cursor to a hand it showed up as a watch on MacOS standalone and was completely missing on Win 10 standalone, and why the app icon, which is designated standalone settings, was missing from answer/ask dialogs on both platforms.
For anyone else being troubled with these relatively minor issues:
1. For the app icon to show in dialogs you have to in dialogs you have to actually import the image to the stack and make a note of its ID. Then in the on startup handler of the stack:
Code: Select all
on startUp
global gRevAppIcon
put <the image id> into gRevAppIcon
end startUp
In my view: if we've gone to the effort of creating app icons for each platform already, why should we also have to import the icon. Surely it should be possible for LC to use the designated app icon?
For cursors: should the 'cursors' external not be loaded by default, the same way as the ask/answer dialogs are? Yet one more nuisance detail to remember to do when building standalones...
If others agree will submit enhancement requests (arguably bug reports) for these minor but annoying issues...
Many thanks
