LiveCode Forums

Hi there Livecoders, Wondering if anyone cna point me in the direction of getting 2 stacks (standalones) to communicate using the open process. How can I get a stack to return data to the process that called it? So far, one stack would contain open process..... for reading...... its the other stack ...

Hey folks, If you have done any sort of programming with livecode, you have inevitably said to yourself "I LOVE Livecode!!!" ..... at least I have many many times. Thats why I registered the domain LoveLivecode.com I started building a portal for all things livecode, but realized that i could not de...

Problem solved ..... ("chmod +x " & filepath) worked.

the solution posted there does not appear to be working ..... there is nothing in "the result" so the command does not return an error. but the executable remains as "Document" ... i set thefiletype to empty..which is why its document..... if i don't ..the filetype becomes simpleText. :( the shell c...

ah cool..didn't know that...I also compress it, which is I think why I preferred to have it as one large binary variable. The whole installer is about 100 MB, so its not a big deal, takes almost no time.

Thanks Klaus

Hi Klaus, thanks for yoour reply, I will try that. I first put url ("binfile:" & line f of UMPMemory["Total File List"]) into UMPMemory["File Data Array"][f]["file_binary"] then I encode the array and save it in a custom property .... then i build the standalone then the standalone: for each element...

So I am half-way to a solution, and have found the FileType property. But I can't find the Code to use to make the file "Unix Executable"

Does anyone know the code to use?

I have tried empty, but it makes it "unknown", I need it to be Unix Executable.

Hi, I've built an installer for my application, that saves all files stored in an array using "put URL ("binfile:" ....)" command to save to an .app application forlder in /Applications/ All the files seem to save ok, the icon for the app package is correct, all the files seem to be there in the pac...

my app runs in fullscreen mode..so i had to create my own buttons to close and minimize...... closing works... minimize doesn't ..... thats all..nothing fancy....simple task .... I jsut tried the empty stack..and it worked..... ... though only in the ide. hhhmmmm.... ok...i will investigate more.......

she is running 10.6.8 .... so i tried to send the message "set the iconic of this stack to true" to the stack and nothing happens.

i guess i should report it as a bug?

Hi Bernd,

That line doesn't work for me on Mac OS X ...works on windows....

Thats why I started to investigate another way of doing it..... my wife's little airbook is my testing ground, and the "set iconic" doesn't work.

I got the applescript code from an answer on stackoverflow

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3564 ... dow-in-mac

UMP is the name of my application .... as specified in the standalone settings....

yes mouseup handler is in the button "Minimize"

Dear livecoders it baffles me that no one has really asked or answered this question ...... I tried the following to minimize application window in Mac OS X the DoCommand of button "Minimize" contains: tell application "UMP" set miniaturized of window 1 to true end tell on mouseUp: do the DoCommand ...

ok thanks..i think i'm going to attempt a full install and see if it works there. It should. Thanks for the reply.

Hi folks. I have been working on my app for over 2 years, and the last time I build a linux standalone it seemed to work just fine...and that was 18 months ago. I remember having to right click and check the permissions... I have just built a linux standalone and trying to run it on Ubuntu 14 32 bit...
