Obviously it was stolen, and is now in private hands. Offer a reward.

Hi. So I understand, is it that the tabs stay alive when messages are locked? And you believe these tabs are now valueless? If so, I get what you are saying, but also say that everything is working as advertised. After, all, even with the stack closed, you can still edit the scripts, and even save t...

Was everything else, apart from the paint, intact?

Craig

Brudders. Glad it worked out. Most of my issues are forehead-slappers, and only after making myself believe that it could not possibly be me. But I am still interested in finding out about the original postulate, that is, does this: The problem is sometimes the PDF is still in the process of being c...

The problem is sometimes the PDF is still in the process of being created after the Browser substack is opened I am not sure, but this does not make sense to me. Someone like Richard will pipe in about whether LC, being single-threaded, can go off creating something like a PDF, at the same time it ...

I am not sure that even a control-less stack can be "reduced" to being script-only. Such a stack has properties, for example its rect, that a script only stack does not, and aren't there conservation laws such as:

"rects can neither be created not destroyed"?

Craig

Richmond.

How could a stack that contains even a single control ever be reduced to a script-only stack? What would we do with that control?

Craig

Klaus,

Aha, thanks. I rarely use these fancy multi-media gadgets.

Craig

A liveCode file is not an image. No suprise that the OS does not include it in the available options. Not sure what the second example means.

An image has extensions such as ".jpg" or ".png".

I am no expert on this sort of thing, but maybe others will chime in...

Craig

There is no question that the "text" way is the grownup way.

Craig

Zax.

The kludge way can easily support multiple overlays. Just give Bernd and I free rein.

Craig

Zax.

So which way are you leaning?

Craig

Waiting for Zax, cleaned up an issue with horizontal scrolling with one or more long lines of unwrapped text. Still not perfect as regards the vertical scrollbar.

When we get to v.42 we will be done.

Bernd.

You and I can go back and forth forever tweaking this.

But what does Zax want to do? There is the "text" way, and the "kludge" way.

Which way?

Craig

Bernd. Test, test, test. Anyway, this sure beats working. Had to modify the button script since if the user selects only a single line, the "format" of the "selectedLines" changes: on mouseUp put the selectedlines into tSelectedLines put word 2 of tSelectedLines into tStartLine if tSelectedLines con...
