Re: Tool bar not moving

Can you move it by pressing "alt" while grabbing it? I can't move the Tools Palette without doing that.

Re: Android Setup Blues

I just installed r12 the other night. This "can't find the JDK" bug has apparently existed for at least two versions of the Android SDK. Hitting back and then next is the way to do it. Just an FYI: you may want to install this version of the SDK (the Android SDK) into some directory other than "Prog...

Re: file information

Check the entry "files" in the Livecode dictionary. It gives a full explanation.

Re: screenGamma

Resulting from the unique interaction of hardware, software and the personalized settings of the user, these differences are inevitable as you move from machine to machine. There's a market for color profiling and calibration software and devices costing into the hundreds of dollars for a reason! Th...

Have you looked at encrypt and decrypt in the dictionary?

Re: Inability to close Firefox

No, Mark, and I couldn't argue the point specifically regarding Windows :) I also understand that Windows is the operating system Steve is using. However, your statement had something of a generic tone, and Livecode is cross-platform... I don't mean to be throwing darts at you, or anyone, but a litt...

Re: Inability to close Firefox

I would be curious to learn what signal is sent on "close process". If an ordinary (polite) TERM closes these processes, why doesn't close process work? I suppose it would be interesting to have this information for all platforms :) Mark, programmers can and do provide shutdown routines which respon...

Re: Inability to close Firefox

In my experience, "close process" does not appear to quit gui applications opened with "open process", in Linux. Application window is still open and the process is still visible in system monitor. It is also necessary to use the close process command, even when the app in question has been closed s...

Re: Livecode, Quicktime, and Snow Leopard

What codec does this file require? Will the file play in QuickTime in the other machines? My guess is that it uses a codec you've installed on your own machine but isn't installed in the others.

Re: Livecode, Quicktime, and Snow Leopard

The player works in 10.6 with QT X, without QT 7 installed. Just did it here. Perhaps it's a codec issue? Is the QT External properly included in the finished standalone?

Re: Programming for iPad on Windows

Has anyone tried using LiveCode through VMWare on a Virtual Mac? I've seen XCode running this way, so dont see why it wouldn't work. Even if you where to use the Windows version of LiveCode then switch to the Virtual Mac through VMWare to test with the emulator? I have absolutely no experience of a...

Re: problem close stack with standalone application

Quang, did you set the navigationArrows property of your stack to false? That should prevent you from returning to the closed stack by pressing the arrow keys. Check the dictionary. Using the arrow keys navigate to a previous card on a now closed stack does not cause a crash all by itself, so it see...

I wonder what it is about your login script that crashes the app when it's revisited.

The string containing the "d" is being truncated at the "d", which allows the statement to evaluate as true, based on the numeric value the string contains. This is NOT a good thing!
