curl is good, and so is wget. Different syntax, very similar options. curl is installed on most OS X systems, but wget is not. On Ubuntu and some other Debian-based distros, wget is installed but curl is not. Since all of my servers run Ubuntu, I tend to use wget. Given that both wget and curl are w...

Ralf, where is that documented? It may be worth revisiting that policy. First, as jihem noted, as long as we have "value" and "call" not having "do" is simply arbitrary and not a solution to the security risk. Moreover, all three of those are very useful, and risks of using them can be mitigated wit...

Do you have more than one monitor?

All of the RAM available to a computing device is consuming power whenever the device is on. Additional power consumption is more significant with processing time and moving things between RAM and persistent storage (disk, SSD, Flash memory, etc). On low-memory devices like phones, RAM can be worth ...

It probably has been resolved. 150k is very small compared to LC's limits. I have apps that handle several MBs of text, one of them is regularly used on data larger than 300 MBs, and it all flies swimmingly in LiveCode.

Good find, Keram. Bug report filed:

Actually I'm hoping that they will at the very least tweak the SQLite db externals long before Open Language is completed! and a rewrite of the DB externals is on the Road Map for after the Open Language projects is completed See http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14295 Just a quick follow-u...

Moderation note: I've taken the liberty of changing this thread title from "Closed" to "Resolved" to better reflect its actual status. While the original issue has been resolved, others with any remaining relevant questions are welcome to continue this thread.

Unfortunately I now have to say to ignore my last post - my earlier problems with the inexplicable "manifest error" remain on one machine. On my Ubuntu 14.10 desktop everything works swell, but on my laptop running Ubuntu 14.04 - even with the same JDK, ADK, and LC versions - I only get the "manifes...

What platform are you running LiveCode on?

The path suggests you're using a Mac, yes? If so, perhaps OS X's Preview app doesn't offer the same support for the hash page number as Adobe's PDF reader does. FWIW, the Evince Document Viewer which ships with Ubuntu doesn't seem to honor that Adobe convention either.

If it is not "dated", then why does every argument FOR this behavior start and end with "legacy code"? ...except for the opinion that matters most on this, that of LiveCode lead engineer Mark Waddingham. Earlier I linked to his explanation of why he feels this the current implementation is a good o...

I can appreciate the frustration, but given that the language has about 4,000 tokens the number of regressions is certainly much smaller than suggested by "all 'fixed' Livecode functions". Apple's decision to deprecate QuickTime has indeed been expensive for all developers, and with LiveCode the cha...

I've had the argument with the staff about this, but even though I've gotten agreement from the insiders that the DB routines should change if the base behavior does not, I'm not holding my breath. I think you pegged it there about the biggest downside to the current implementation being specific t...
