Re: Exporting text from LiveCode in iOS
Long story: The LC dropbox library is a later version of Gerard McCarthy's Dropbox library. Monte at LC took Gerard's library, made it asynchronous (if you have one of the paid versions of LC), added comments so it would feed the LC docs, and renamed commands and functions. So even though the comman...

Re: Exporting text from LiveCode in iOS
no. you would use the dropbox api that is in livecode to automagically create the file and upload it all within your app. there is no need for the dropbox app. also you don't need to create different logins, even though you can). you would create an app id for your app, and then you could have a sin...

Re: Exporting text from LiveCode in iOS
we use dropbox to do exactly this, and we go both directions - to the devices and from the devices.

Re: Stack size in 4k display?
no, it's the same as any monitor setup, it's just that the number of dots is higher. you set the virtual resolution of the display and off you go. you can theoretically set the resolution of a 4k display at 1024x768, if you really wanted to. on our 84" formal and informal conference space displays, ...

Re: Why Script-only stacks?
we've been messing around with the text file interface idea, too. i was messing around with one of the installers for levure being built from/with an SOS, but I don't know if i ever PR'd it. another idea we were messing with here that we haven't gotten completely usable was using yml files to descri...

Re: Why Script-only stacks?
Sometimes the dependency or the connection is explicit via an object property and sometimes it is via code. You can do either one. You can even use a script to create an SOS and either insert it into the message path or assign it as a behavior of another object, including another SOS.

Re: Why Script-only stacks?
Regarding the reload, see previous. You don't have to quit LC and restart it to get a reload. Trevor wrote a python script that is included with Levure that you can add to the sublimeText plugins, and a listener/server script that you can add to your project (if you choose to pull the code out of Le...

Re: Why Script-only stacks?
Main stack -> SOS SOS's are always behaviors, so you could also call them "behavior stacks". You can also stick them manually in the message path if you like. SOS's can also have other SOS's as their behaviors. theming maybe i misunderstood. I was reading a comment from someone that was complaining...

Re: Why Script-only stacks?
I think that all of these concerns are addressed ( theming , encrypting stacks , and live-updating LC ). I will discuss them all below. Several of the issues can be handled if you use the Levure framework for LC. It's not necessary to make SOS's work, but it does make some of these issues more autom...

Re: Why Script-only stacks?
I can think of a lot of reasons: 1. "Version Control". It's so much more than that. It's clarity, and an audit trail, and tracking what everyone who is working on a project is doing, and not having to embed hundreds of lines of version-related comments into a file that mean less and less the further...

Re: Simple DB app
LiveCode Global. In 2017 and 2018, instead of having an annual user conference in some city, LiveCode did bi-monthly all-day online meetups. Someone complained that there was not enough content for n00bs, so I decided to teach a n00b session every time. Using DB's with LC was one of them. Check with...

Re: mobileControlCreate: misspelled "input", no compiler error
Correct. In fact, there are a number of things on mobile that are like this. The Tao of LC Compiled (especially on mobile) is this: stuff breaks silently. I think it was 2013 when I had a conference call with Kevin and Mark and they asked me what I wanted to change in LC. One of the things I told th...
