Richmond.

Are on linux?

Not currently: MacOS.

you can replace the cursor images in the revCursors stack

I believe they have to be PDF images.

Well that took a bit of fiddling around with some third-party software, but here we are:

My 'paw' remains a paw through out the IDE.

richmond62

Your "paw" changes as soon as the cursor leaves that image. Well, over here, with LC 9.6.3 the 'paw' remains a paw across the card and those 'random' objects I sprinkled across the card. Unfortunately the screen shot thingy in MacOS, even when 'show the pointer' is selected, does NOT show any curso...

Probably it is a better idea to change the cursor to what you want FIRST, and then set the lockCursor to true SECOND.

Click on the big hand!

This works equally well with mouseEnter in the field script.

richmond62

Dunno: this works:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   set the cursor to 1003
   set the lockCursor to true
end mouseUp

Clicking on the 'Paw', and away you go.

Custom cursor images must contain three colors: black, white, and a transparent color.

I wonder why?

It's not a problem that I've ever encountered with any of my Mac standalones that employ multiple cards. My Devawriter, which has 51 cards at the moment, has never, over 14 years of development and deployment, had this problem. Oh, and Klaus: sorry, I don't pay for anything with Deutsch Marks, only...

However, I have no wish to display SVG images in a browser, I might want to import SVGs as vector objects to use as, say, scaleable icons/buttons.

richmond62

I have just used this service: https://www.vertopal.com/ to produce an SVG image from my text (which is far, far inferior to what LiveCode is pumping out): - Screenshot 2024-05-04 at 17.23.28.png - Opening that file in a text editor I can see why it is "what it is": " Created by potrace 1.16, writte...

I have downloaded a free SVG image from the internet that CAN be imported into LiveCode: - Screenshot 2024-05-04 at 17.02.57.png - Beetle.svg.zip - Examining that image in a text editor I notice the signal difference between it and my exported SVG image is that it contains this text at the start: <!...

I have a feeling that the SVG parsers in the browser and Inkscape are reading the WIDTH of the image wrongly. - SVG from Text 2.livecode.zip - I am now going to "fool around" with image widths . . . on mouseUp set the width of fld "f1" to ((the formattedWidth of fld "f1") * 1.5) set the height of fl...

richmond62

I mucked around with the code so that an SVG is exported that is not automatically 800 x 800 pixels: on mouseUp set the width of fld "f1" to the formattedWidth of fld "f1" set the height of fld "f1" to the formattedHeight of fld "f1" set the left of fld "f1" to 40 set the top of fld "f1" to 40 -- pu...

Of course, I could send "openCard" to the desired controls by "send" or "dispatch" but I don't know which controls should receive this message.

Well . . .

Code: Select all

on OpenCard
      send "mouseUp" to button "myButton"
end openCard

My recent experience with A.I. did not make me think of "reconstituted pork products", it made me think rather more of pot-au-feu , especially the way certain "sausages" kept coming round again and again, and the way that the robot forgot I didn't like "mushrooms" (over use of quotation marks), yet ...
