Yes, it's good to have options.

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.

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 ...

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?

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...

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.

Sounds like incomplete tool implementation.

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

The question is, can the bad guys read it?

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 ...

that makes the mods to the revMenubar stack after it's been instantiated

That is exactly what I am trying to avoid,

Why?

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...

That is part of what I meant. But, just as a script-only stack can create another stack with lots of controls, I want to know if one can reverse the process where a "stack with lots of controls" can be saved as a script-only stack in such a fashion that on that script-only stack being opened inwith...

Using HTTP protocol (port 80) can be easily intercepted with tools like Proxyman or Charles. I prefer using port 22 because LiveCode does not have an `ssh()` command, so I use PuTTY.

LiveCode supports HTTPS, the most common solution for secure file retrieval and API calls.
