... In practice I do not find an elegant method to delete a row from a field, also because there are other functions that the field performs... Not sure I understand, do you mean that something like: ... delete line 42 of fld "your field in question here" ... will trigger some other commands/functi...

Buongiorno e benvenuto nel LC forum, Paolo,

short answer: Questo non è possibile!
The ASK and ANSWER dialogs are opened as MODAL, which means they block everything until you close them.

What exactly do you need to do?
Maybe we can find another way to do this.

Hi friends,

a new version of my plug-in "Iconmaker" is available, it now also creates .ICNS icon files for macOS apps.

P.S.
Important note:
This plug-in will only work on macOS!

I'm not convinced that open file for read , then using read from file and then figuring out where lines -200 to -1 are to read those in will be particular faster than using the put URL method. I can't see a way to automatically figure out what the last 200 lines will be and possibly counting will b...

Hi Bruce,

open file
read from file
close file

Indeed that works.

The disadvantage with your stack is that the end-user gets visual feedback when s/he performs a drag, but the "drag image" does not remain on the target.

Well, I wanted to leave a tiny bit of work up to you!

And here a slightly enhanced version, where you can drag and drop anything onto anything.
Except the behavior button and the info field at the bottom.

Here a really working stack, sorry for the others...

Drag the button on the topleft (just as its LABEL say) onto one of the colored graphics...
A dragimage might clarify this.

My stack is quite rudimentary, you should add a "dragimage" (screenshot of the control to be dragged).
Seems to be the only way of "faking" a LC "grab me" kind of action.

Works fine here, but maybe a little different than what you think!
See example stack...

EDIT: Removed the silly stack

Maybe you can create and use a "on dragenter" behavior for your 96 objects?
