LC creates a temporary signing certificate when you build a standalone with "sign for development" but it only works for you. Others won't be able to open the app until it's signed and notarized, unless they manually approve it in system prefs.

When the Search feature disappears from the bottom of my script editor window it invariably requires a new preferences file. I keep some already customized backups handy to save time since this happens with more regularity than seems reasonable... but with no recipe that I can see (yet.) The recipe...

Wow! Fantastic.

What would I do without you guys. The seriousness and depth of your contributions is uplifting.

And all the subStacks as well? Yes. If you set the mainstack text styles and not anything else in the hierarchy, substacks will inherit the text styling from the mainstack. I do this when I want to change the font or font size for everything in a stack file. I can then change individual styles in f...

It still sounds to me like the mainstack was set to bold. That's the only thing I know of that would change all other fields everywhere. Craig, if you want to send me the stack I can look. Most helpful would be the version before it got "fixed". Edit: Sounds a little like this : https://quality.live...

Try this: In the contents pane of the PI select all the text and choose Plain from the IDE menu. That will remove all character level styling. Now the font property pane, which is field level styling, should act as you expect. Or if the field is editable you can select the text directly there instead.

When you said a script worked but not the inspector, what was the command you used? Text styles have a hierarchy similar to messages. You probably know that, but for others: The style of the mainstack The style of a substack(s) if any The style of a field The style of the text, or a selection of the...

Concerning the "autoFocus" on first editable field when opening a card, it's very annoying since years. It should be a stack property in order to choose its behavior.

Feel free to complain here, maybe they'll notice:

It's stored in the htmltext of the field.

Hi Jacque,
Sorry, I'm afraid I just didn't understand your question. I should explain that I really AM a complete beginner!

Klaus came to the rescue.

LC sets a flag on a stack whenever any change happens, and if it's true then you get the dialog. The problem is that LC automatically places the insertion point in the first unlocked field when the card opens and that counts as a change whether you type anything or not. I submitted a bug report requ...

I would also like to know what a "command" is, versus a "function" - I have not written this type of structure before. How does it differ from a "function"? Marc This may help: https://hyperactivesw.com/resources/#1690975538666-b0790d43-fedb The difference is explained near the end of the text.

It sounds like you may have accidentally set the mainstack's text to bold. All fields everywhere will inherit that setting, including substacks, if their own text properties aren't set. It's kind of easy to accidentally trigger the stack PI if you click out of a control while its own PI is open.

Here's a way to show the short file name in the list, while storing the file path invisibly using the metadata property. Metadata and linktext are similar, but linktext will underline the text, while metadata is completely invisible to the user. Sample stack enclosed. The main action is in the card,...
