Hi Richmond/Paul, The .DSStore is a Directory Structure file and can be turned off (per user) but I do not recommend it. These are generally only created when you open a folder in the finder or a file action dialogue. To turn off: defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores tr...

The 'thing' where MacOS creates a shadow file of everything with a . in front of its name is a pain-in-the-bum on Linux as well. I would think, being from the POSIX world, that Linux file managers would treat any file starting with a .dot as an invisible file and hide/ignore it accordingly, or did ...

I just wanted to put this out there for future reference and for anyone else who might hit this problem... If you are using a "exchange" volume / drive partition in a dual boot situation with macOS and Windows for the purpose of testing your cross platform LiveCode Builder project, know that LCB Ext...

I think I'm going to try to model the HID Input to LC Message Filter thing on this database which already has a bunch of mappings for Game controllers contributed by users (It's used by the popular SDL Library and KODI) or maybe make a function that reads in: https://github.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameContr...

I have a spell checker project on GitHub that uses NSSpellChecker on macOS and hunspell on Windows. If someone were to compile hunspell for Linux and submit a Pull Request then it would work there as well. I’m not sure how it would work on mobile. https://github.com/trevordevore/spell_checker looks...

An LCB extention to check for bluetooth availability would probably be very easy, looks like you would just need to wrap the Android function BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter() with LCB Foreign Binding, if that returns null (or 'nothing' in LCB syntax) then Bluetooth is unavailable. Might need to ...

NOTE: I have not tested the Linux version, I've only tested under Windows 10 and macOS 10.14.6, so if anyone want's to test this on Linux and report back, that would be great! And if you can compile or find a binary of the HIDAPI for either mobile platform and send it to me, that would be good too!...

Very very interesting. What a work. Is this a mobile library your building for, or just desktop? This is a LCB (LiveCode Builder Wrapper (+ some mostly LC-related code) Library that wraps the open-source, cross-platform HIDAPI Library, so if you can compile or find a pre-compiled binary of that for...

I've been working on a LiveCode Builder wrapper library for a couple of weeks now.... I've been thinking it would be great if people could try it out now in it's early stage and offer input in specific aspects of the library, and also possibly create device descriptions strings for any HID devices t...

rendering speech to a file (it can still be done but it's a bit more complicated), Time went by and I still need to save TTS to var or file. My App "Segnapunto" send data to a Raspberry that has an awful TTS (compared to iOS or Android phone). May be because of the scarse processor or else. For me,...

I think I'm being a bit stupid: - SShot 2021-03-19 at 13.00.59.png Is that a rhetorical question? Is the HIDAPI LiveCode Builder Extension loaded? If not then the stack isn't going to do anything but throw errors. HIDAPIInit() should init the library and either return the version string of the HIDA...

LC has built in POST and GET commands for exchanging data with web servers. Details in the Dictionary, and in the Lessons: https://lessons.livecode.com/m/4071/l/1325310-how-to-request-a-resource-from-a-rest-api What Richard suggested is better because it purely uses LiveCode and so isn't dependent ...

Just tested it with my phone number
I sure hope I'm not on a SPAM Phone list now.

Paul Thanks for trying but it is still way more than a "bit confusing" for me. When you say "set the javascripthandlers of widget "Browser" to "fetch" did you chose the word "fetch" because that is the first word of the code in the api that textbelt gave me. I think of that as the "container" that ...
