So looking at the MessageDigest function, it does indeed spit out a digest of the data, but I was wondering how I would go about converting that into the alphanumeric string that you would get from Mark Smith's library or PHP. For example, if I put Hello World into an online SHA256 generator, I get ...

By the way, is there a keyboard shortcut for switching through the Message Box panes? It used to be Ctrl+M to activate it which is still the case and then Ctrl+Comma to move through each pane, but that doesn't seem to work now.

Hi Richard, I had a look at disabling Real-Time Protection and restarted the 9.5 IDE and found it still lagged behind. But having downloaded the 9.5.1 IDE, it has made a difference, I also looked through the preferences options for the script editor and disabled some features such as live error dete...

Hello, So I've just got back into LiveCode after nearly 4 years away, and I picked up 9.5 and I'm pleased with the changes except one. The IDE chugs and I mean chugs, typing in the Script Editor can result in a delay of around 2 seconds before the characters appear and Task Manager shows the engine ...

I'm looking forward to seeing the messageDigest function get updated, hopefully it will have some clear documentation to help users figure out the correct syntax to generate say a SHA3 hash or other hash types.

Understandable Richard, I've updated the report title to reflect that.

Added the feature request onto the QCC, if anyone has any additional IDE only features they would like to see tested for addition to the standalone engine, feel free to drop a comment on the QCC post.

It's been a while since I've used the QCC, or LiveCode in fact, but I could make a feature request there and link it here if you would like?

So part of my Hydra app is the ability to emulate the use of the Message Box in a standalone environment like a terminal or shell of sorts and after some testing, I've found the functionality doesn't exist in the Standalone engine. Is this deliberate or just an omission? I'm running on 7.1.4 Stable....

So I was noseying through the LiveCode website and noticed some of the plans for 8.0 and I thus I have a couple of questions I was hoping could be answered regarding the new release: 1) In the website it states that 8.0 will automatically native-themed objects for your stack, will this mean that a p...

If I might interject and I apologise if this has already been mentioned earlier in the thread, but perhaps the changes you suggest such as those to setProp/getProp and the Result, should be postponed until a time when the language will get overhauled as was planned on the roadmap back in 2013. From ...

That's what I figured would be the case, I'll take a gander at perusing the front scripts at some point today and see if they are trapping MouseDown or MouseUp. The only extra plugin I have loaded is one I made that has been kicking on since 5.5 and has never introduced any lag, it makes use of Mous...

Hi Richard, Nope, it is on Windows 8.1 and it is nothing but the vanilla scripts that the IDE loads, I haven't tried it as a standalone so maybes I should do that, I just thought the engines would be unified in functionality such as those. EDIT: Upon further inspection, it seems to only be in the ID...

Hi Mark, I was wondering if you could shed some light here as I wonder whether an issue I'm having may be connected to the arrays performance in some way: I am working on my new project called Hydra, it is intended to be a console like PowerShell and Bash for Windows, Mac and Linux and with it, it h...

I'm not sure if anyone but a handful of us enjoys such arcana, but since I do I'll be adding a new section to the revision to RevNet I'm working on, which will include info on the undocumented elements I've collected (all the way down to the long-since-deprecated-but-delightfully-mysteriously-named...
