Re: Poor resizeStack performance when lots of text in scrolling field

I've also noticed that other than resizing, the field with lots of text in it performs pretty well. Scrolling, copy/paste, select, etc. seems normal. Regarding rendering, if we're talking about actually rendering to screen, the performance degradation (on desktop) also happens when the field is hidd...

Re: Poor resizeStack performance when lots of text in scrolling field

So is this a process that you intend to use regularly, and are worried that the user will bark? Perhaps there is another way to do it. Yeah, perhaps. It's up to the user. The tool I'm attempting to write is going to process steno from court reporters. Depending on what they're recording, say a depo...

Re: Poor resizeStack performance when lots of text in scrolling field

I've been experimenting with this more and have found that using a data grid helps, depending on the grid. In table mode (single column) it works 100%. No lag whatsoever when resizing/moving with geometry. However, a form mode data grid looks like it will work at first, but the more you scroll up an...

Re: Poor resizeStack performance when lots of text in scrolling field

Thanks for trying that, glad it's not just me.

Weirdly/interestingly(?) it continues to do the same thing if you have the field disabled and/or hidden.

Poor resizeStack performance when lots of text in scrolling field

Howdy! I have a stack with a simple scrolling text field in it that could potentially have a huge amount of text in it (50,000 words or more.) Think like perhaps a text/document editor that someone is using to write a book. (desktop app, Mac target for now) When lots of text is in that field, resizi...

Re: Linux build selected, no license. Derp.

There's an additional bug where the four substack/dialogs for Linux are included in Windows 64-bit builds even when you don't have Linux builds selected. Or, as in my case, have a Linux license: https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23504 This results in a situation where you need to uncheck ...

Re: Extra Substacks?

Yes. Good catch. Thanks for that. In the cRevStandaloneSettings custom property you can also see them listed, but when you click on them they don't show up in the editor. Something there is malformed/munged. For fun I tried recreating those custom properties but they're still munged. Must be some sh...

Linux build selected, no license. Derp.

Howdy! I started a project under a temporary license and had the Linux build marked. When I went legit with a real license I didn't buy a Linux one because I don't really need it. But now that checkbox is still secretly checked and I get a 'you don't have a license for Linux' error every time I buil...

Re: Extra Substacks?

I have the same exact problem. It's mostly aesthetically annoying, but annoying none the less. I came here to post about this, glad it's not just me. My stack was created with nine . six . four. (for some reason the editor here things that typing the actual version is a URL/link. Hmmm.) I've also no...

Re: Trying to build a MacOS standalone: need Xcode?

I've had a similar problem as Fjord as late. It happens to me when I add a new behavior script to a card or widget using the button/menu in the object's property inspector (Advanced tab). Usually it'll be fine until I close and re-open the stack the first time after adding it. Do you change the nam...

Re: invalid binary issue iTunes connect (LC 8.1.6 / Xcode 8.

Just want to chime in and say thanks so much for fixing this. I can confirm that I released an app a couple weeks ago with no problem but ran into this when trying to release a patch, and with the 8.1.6 update it's now pending approval. I've been having a supremely irritating conversation with Apple...

Re: Play Audio on Background Mode

I've been tearing my hair out on this one for a while. I think I figured it out. According to the comments on a LiveCode lesson named "How do I play sounds on an iOS device?" (forums won't allow me to post a link...) you should be able to set iphoneSetAudioCategory to "playback". I found this doesn'...
