LiveCode Forums

Hi oldummy -- Last spring I built a LiveCode stack that creates a playlist from my archive of .mp3 music files stored on disk. Although perhaps a bit more elaborate than what you need -- in my case, the stumbling block was employing callbacks with a player object to advance a progress bar, which the...

Klaus & Albert -- Got a chuckle out of Albert's clever nickname for your suggested addition to his code, which I believe translates as "Shake before using." But apart from the fact that it apparently works for him, Albert does still raise the legitimate question as to why this fix was even necessary...

Upon incorporating the aforementioned code into the actual program, the shortcut keys all worked fine when tested on the old refurbished Windows 10 laptop I’d purchased last year to test Win standalones. So no problem. Right? Yet the Danish musician who inspired the app has reported that while most ...

Thanks so much for the insight you’d provided regarding Windows, which is still essentially alien to me. (I really must get a copy of “Windows for Dummies.”) I’ve attached the latest “TestKeyCmds.livecode” stack. To see the Mac vs. Win issue that I’ve wrangled with, I suppose that you’d need to buil...

For what it’s worth, I did promise to post an update here after experimenting with a bare-bones stack that included only the three radio-btn groups for which I wished to employ custom commandKey combinations, along with three fields to monitor the respective custom property set by each. Savvy forum ...

Yes, I'd considered that possibility (after discovering that Opt+Cmd+D could not be used on the Mac because this would only display the Mac taskbar). But I've looked up each problematic key combination on the convenient website https://defkey.com that maintains a database of all programs employing a...

Thanks, SparkOut, for educating me as to how Windows users typically navigate and select controls – and that the dashed border in Windows is actually a feature that identifies the currently focused button. Per your instructions, I did find that I can tab through the radio btns across the three btn g...

Upon completing a much simplified redesign of my freeware cross-platform (Mac/Win) music app, I’ve encountered a vexing problem that affects only the Windows standalone. (The stack works flawlessly in the IDE on my Mac and as a Mac standalone, but thankfully I acquired a cheap refurbished PC last ye...

Good News Update: I've just heard from the user who reported the Sonoma problem that she was able to install and run flawlessly the updated standalone (built using LC 9.6.11) on her M-series MacBook Pro. As a sidenote: In preparing the update for signing/validating/stapling, I did discover that I ha...

Has anyone by chance tried lately to sign a standalone that employs the inclusion “SSL & Encryption”? This was not a problem as recently as July, but both when using the terminal and when using Matthias’ updated helper stack, code-signing fails with a message “errSecInternalComponent in subcomponent...

Thanks Jacque and Klaus for the quick replies! I suppose I should do due diligence: Download a copy of Sonoma, install it on an external SSD, then see how the rebuilt app runs in Sonoma on a M-era Mac. Still, nice to know that after rebuilding the app using LC 9.6.11 and completing the tedious proce...

One of the few users of my app reports that it fails to open in macOS Sonoma 14.1.1 (error “pc register does not match crashing frame”) – presumably due to the menu issue mentioned elsewhere in the forums. The standalone was built in June using LC 9.6.9. She’d had no problem previously, so I assume ...

Stam -- Thanks for the update on your phone chat with Mitchell Vincent of K-Software. I suppose the bottom-line is that Microsoft's push to require EV certificates -- which in turn is driving up how Windows Certificate Authorities price their products -- will mark an end to the era in which independ...

Perhaps at some point a forum member who knows more about this than either of us can weigh in and enlighten us regarding these Windows certificate changes. I can accept that this involves some additional overhead on the part of Microsoft-sanctioned Certificate Authorities, but hard to believe that i...

As regards the hardware security module (HRM) issue, it’s my impression that if one does not have such a device, Sectigo (or KSoft) will provide the certificate on a FIPS-compliant hardware “token” – which from the graphic on the Sectigo website looks to me like a USB thumb drive – shipped to one’s ...
