When you hold the Fn key and press a (valid?) key, then the action is trapped before any key message would make it to the OS. It is handled by the BIOS I think. Most of my work PC laptops have had these keys. As your clip stated, it is frequently used to adjust volume and screen brightness. I’ve als...

Linting should not be a problem until LC10 adds new syntax. The community version (which you probably could still compile from source if needed) should be fine for this purpose. ScriptTracker could be a possible solution to the integration issue. It exports all of the scripts of a binary stack to fi...

I’ve never actually tried to build a stand alone that uses the code, so I’m not positive about the steps. But, if you updated the script in the LC installed on your machine, that same code should be brought into your compiled app. I would need to play with it some. If it doesn’t make it into version...

You should not need to do anything with the size of the stack/card. You should only need to position elements on the card. The engine takes care of adjusting the size of the stack/card when the device rotates (or launches on a device that doesn’t match the development size). resizeStack is the bette...

You can write the same code in about half the length in LC - but that code in Fluter is the entire app - no binary resources, no creating a stack, adding labels etc. Not entirely accurate though. When you create a new project there are a few different files that are generated. Any graphics and such...

Any iOS device with a notch will not work in upside down mode.

Probably a good reason to use ScriptTracker for binary stacks posted to GitHub. This would increase the number of livecodescript files posted there with very little work on the developer (I.e. no need to convert to SOS/behaviors).

I never actually tried 9 but got the Oracle version of 8.

I do a bit of editing in Atom. No need to manually copy/paste though. Take a look at ScriptTracker if you would like to edit your scripts from binary stacks in an external editor. It also allows easy tracking of script changes in a stack using Git.

If you modify the source to generate a nested array, then the tree view widget could display the data fairly efficiently. Another alternative is Trevor’s DataView Tree. He has an example that displays a folder hierarchy (GitHub.com/trevordevore/dataview_demo). Someone may have a nifty way to parse y...

Simple. Don’t try to use screenRect on mobile. Use the rect of this card instead.

You should not need to be using screenrect at all on mobile. Download SivaSiva to see a LiveCode app that is responsive to the screen size (most of the app).

All objects are place relative to the card, not the screen. The rect that you need to use is the rect of the card.

Try the following changes to your stack script: comment out the 2 lines where you set the stack size in preOpenStack and add the following handler: on resizeStack local tRect put the rect of this card into tRect put item 1 of tRect into gScreenRect1 put item 2 of tRect into gScreenRect2 put item 3 o...

I think that is just Android. The virtual hardware buttons are not included in the screenrect. Same thing on the Pixel that I use for development. This is also a key difference between iOS and Android. On iOS you can address the full screen (behind the “furniture”) but you can’t on Android. But, you...

What you are actually running up against is the fact that the profile manager library has not been updated to handle widgets. That is probably one reason that the UI for it was not included in the IDE update.
