LiveCode Forums

I just posted a public domain Documentation Cache Cleaner utility stack to livecodeshare. When first launched, the LiveCode IDE will build a documentation cache for the current version. When you upgrade to a new version, a new cache folder is created, but any older cache is still in the system. When...

That's weird. Not really. The github repository allows you to build the community project. The installer has to handle all the different editions, check the licensing details, package all the myriad parts and unpack them into the appropriate places with proper permissions, etc. There are good reaso...

The installer isn't part of the FOSS code, so it's not on github. Peter B found the problem, but it's up to the team to fix it.

Apparently the launch thing isn't important enough to fix (although it's interesting to note that apparently it did work in LC 7.0.6):

NetPlan does indeed work with ubuntu 18.04. There's no nice gui front end to it that I know of, and that may be where you're thinking the combination of LC and node may well come into play.

Back in the day, a stack ID was immutable. This might resolve the whole issue, if the behavior pathname referenced the stack ID instead of the stack name.

Unfortunately no. The stack ID has always (IIRC) been the next available ID for object creation, and thus a moving target.

This looks great. I'm gonna try these out in a VM this afternoon.

Now if we could just get you working on a raspberry pi build...

Of course, then I had the song in my head and had to go to youtube.
...and down the rabbithole I went...

It's important not to make Windows standalones look ugly.

Otherwise people would go out and buy real computers.

Sounds like it's a bug. Does the correct thing here on linux, so my guess is the engine code for creating aliases on Windows is only creating file aliases.

Thanks! I missed that too.

Yeah, I still want my ubuntu phone.

I've got working code to fix hostnameToAddress() on linux (bug #5909) but I'm not sure where to plug it in. Tracing through the code, it seems the lowest common denominator would be to hook MCSocketHostNameResolve(), but I'm reluctant to mess with socket issues down at that level because unexpected ...

Yep, if the operating system supports it, that's another option as well. And then you can place it where you want it on the screen. Or screens, if you have multiple monitors.

Now that version 9.0 of LiveCode has been released, we're announcing the new build of PowerTools. Upgrades are always free for existing users, and it's still only $40 US for new users. Current registered users: You will need your username and registration code to download the file. If you need your ...
