so a non-loaded stack has a mode of 'empty'? Hmmm... Curious question. How could one test it? Under what circumstances would it matter? -- How could one test it: if the mode of stack "path/to/stackfile" is empty then -- do stuff to closed file such as... -- Under what circumstances would it matter?...

Script-only stacks won't have a style property, because of course that format only supports the behavior property but no others. But the mode of a stack reflects its state once loaded, independent of its storage format. The point was, in Richmonds test that stack has a Mode. of 0, which means "clos...

do "result = navigator.platform;" as javaScript answer the result In LCScript 'the platform' when running inside a browser / web deploy returns 'html5' or 'web' Similarly 'the processor' returns 'js' instead of more useful info such as the actual CPU type the web app is running on. But you can get ...

x they refer to was called revNewScriptEditor May be obvious but... That 'revNewScriptEditor' not going to have a mode because it's a script-only stack that's used as a template to generate script editor window UIs, so you may have stacks "revNewScriptEditor 1", "revNewScriptEditor 2", "revNewScrip...

What Jacque said works for me on Mac20,1 10-Core Intel Core i9, macOS 12.4 (21F79) with Community v.9.6.3 This gives me an invisible cursor for the 3 second wait time: lock cursor; set the cursor to ""; wait 3 seconds; unlock cursor -- or --- lock cursor; set the cursor to EMPTY; wait 3 seconds; unl...

Perhaps the update wiped out dev mode and that developer mode "Easter egg" needs to be reapplied? Just a guess.
I'm on Apple for mobile devices now so I haven't been keeping up on Android updates lately.

As a side note / trivia, Oracle once had their very own xTalk scripting language (MediaTalk) / engine called Oracle MediaObjects.

Correct, since 2012 XMP is an ISO standard. https://www.iso.org/standard/75163.html For the question about image corruption... I would think that still depends on a bunch of factors, like which filesystem are you using (HFS,FAT32,ZFS,NFS, etc.)? What OS are you using? What software is writing the co...

Five minutes later... OK, changing the stack from "System Window" to "toplevel" cured the crash and "dark mode" works as advertized!? :D Great, thanks a LOT! However the window title stays black after setting to "light" again with -> setAppToLightMode Using "setWindowToLightMode the windowID of thi...

Hi Paul, just tested light/dark mode and first time I clicked "Dark mode" in your example stack, LC crashed. :D Second time I only got an error: button "DarkMode": execution error at line 4 (LCB Error in file macOStools.lcb at line 406: -[NSTaggedPointerString charValue]: unrecognized selector sent...

Also Android apps are based on Java and iOS isn't. Actually I meant Macintosh computers with ARM chips. I imagine some sort of virtualization would work well. Likely that would be faster than translating from ARM to X86 instructions set. Someone has already gotten a Linux desktop OS to build and bo...

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

That 200 limit is "hardcoded" as a constant in the IDE file revmessageboxbehavior.livecodescript. I think it could / should be made setable. Seems like a rather arbitrary number to me. script "revMessageBoxBehavior" ##GH created 12/11/2014 ##GH last updated 31/12/2014 local lSelectedCard, lCardHisto...

Hi Paul, Freeware + GPLv3 = all good, just post your .lcb code somewhere people can get it if you make any changes. My .lcb code? You mean your .lcb code? I could add a link to your github page. Sorry, now I'm cofused a lot. :D It looks like LC 10 is still being built against 10.9 SDK!? But maybe t...

Hi Paul, Are you using the version here? https://github.com/PaulMcClernan/OpenXT ... -App-Tools yes, will keep GPLv3 in mind, after I have looked up on the net what that means for my freeware. I hardly understand all the fineprint if it is written in german. 8-) Just send me a copy of a new version...
