LiveCode Forums.

hi, recently the property inspector started not working well, very often it foesn't open and it's really annoying so i quit livecode and then i reopen it but then after 5 minutes again... or sometimes it opens but it doesn't change from basic, colors, effects ecc.
I use the 9.5 version, but the thing that i don't understand is why this problem came up only recently given that I'm using this version for several months now (and it's not my PC's problem because i changed it recently.) any ideas?
thanks!

Samuele.

Hi.

I have never had anything like this. What OS?

Craig

windows (11) but it gave me the same problems on a mac, and and while we're at it livecode sometimes freezes and is not responding and sometimes i lose some work unsaved
any fixes?
thanks

I suggest that, first, you upgrade to LiveCode 9.6.3
and see if that problem is still happening.

did that, but the problem continues.

Are you only working on 1 stack?

This:

does not make much sense unless the problem is caused by something going on in a particular stack.

you're right, i also changen pc in the mean time (and has windows 10) and gives problems as well, but i can't figure out why, i'ts a normal working stack

i'ts a normal working stack

Obviously not completely.

I did suggest to start again . . .

If you start step by step you may find out what is causing the problem.

That's A LOT of work

while we're on the subject of problems, now i can't even open any livecode stack

now i can't even open any livecode stack

Uninstall all versions of LiveCode, delete preferences and so on . . .

The reinstall again.

Sorry, I cannot think of anything else.

Have you restarted your machine? Can you make a new stack/

What happens? Do you get an error message? Do the IDE stacks open?

nope i get nothing, the mouse is in loading mode for 5 seconds and then nothing, just nothing happens

I know it is, and I have had to do it with a very large stack indeed at least 3 times:

it is NOT FUN:

but it is about the best way to find the rat in the woodpile.

AND every time I have done that I have found out that large parts of my code are complete rubbish
and so have ended up with something better.
