Re: ChatGPT and LiveCode

What about the posting of new user TJF above? I don't even understand what the script does, or might do if the syntax was correct. :-) Whether that relatively new account's one post is spam or not would require someone running it. This may be a good moment for the new account to clarify their earne...

Re: ChatGPT and LiveCode

To evaluate potential bot activity, clicking an account name will being up a summary profile, with a link to the account's posting history. mrcoollion has written more than 700 posts here, often quite good and as far as I can tell all with apparently good intention. The Internet is overrun with bots...

I’ve always used

Code: Select all

Set the style of this stack to “palette”
and it always works fine in preOpenStack
Best of all, the style property is persistent. Set it once, save it, and that's the mode it'll open in forever.

Re: Exporting SVG images?

So is this worth an enhancement request, to add a sixth format to the "export" command? It would take quite a while for the team to work through their current queue to get to it, so we have time to draft a good actionable spec. Unlike raster formats, SVG isn't limited to bitmaps. Indeed, it's most ...

Re: Palettising a main stack.

Use the stack's style property and you'll need no code at all.

is SVG not just a text file? (albeit a specially formatted one?)
Web applications are also "just" text.

The work of generating the output lies beyond the encoding of the file format.

Is your DataGrid set to use the Form option, or the Table option?

Re: get name of flashdrive.

Most software problems have been encountered by other publishers over the years. Before attempting novel solutions it's often useful to see how others have solved what we're facing, and do what they do. With license enforcement, if you have a web server you can require the user to register the produ...

Re: Force the script editor to update?

I'm not sure this is what you need, but you can close a stack and remove from memory with a single command: delete stack <stackName> This does not delete the file, it only removes it from LC. If memory serves, that's true only for mainstacks. Be very careful not to use the delete command with subst...

It is interesting to note that somebody else, somewhere else, sorted out that problem in a matter of about 90 minutes.
You can do the same.

For anyone affected by this, all you need to do is create an image object before using a painting tool to paint into it.

Re: Security Issue Related to Decompilation in LiveCode

Sounds like incomplete tool implementation.

I can read everything I type. Physical access= root.

The question is, can the bad guys read it?

Re: Security Issue Related to Decompilation in LiveCode

What I mean is, using HTTP/HTTPS protocols makes it easy to debug using tools like Proxyman and Charles Proxy. However, I haven't found a tool that can read data streams when using port 22. Even with Wireshark, analysis is only possible up to the exchange of public and private keys. The encryption ...

Re: Saving as LiveCodeScript

Many years ago I wrote a stack to modify the revMenBar stack on the fly to make it horizontal, vertical, black, blue and sky-blue-pink. The revMenuBar is generated from a script-only stack: I should like to have a way where end-users of the LC IDE can modify the appearance of the revMenuBar so that...
