I think at the moment you have to start it from the widget's LiveCode Script rather than being able to start it directly from LCB.

Hey Steve,

This looks like a really useful idea!

A quick suggestion: when you make a numbered release, why not make a release on GitHub? That way people can easily see what GitHub changes relate to which version, and also GitHub provides a convenient way to download the source code from releases.

Hmm, that's weird. I'm not aware of any relevant changes.

Can you go ahead and file a bug report, please?

Thanks!

Hi HAnil,

The pushbutton widget wasn't up to the standard that we wanted it to be, and we felt that for LiveCode 8 it really didn't do anything that the normal LiveCode button control didn't do better.

So we removed it! But it will hopefully be back in a better form in a future release.

Hi Doug,

I note that you're using LiveCode 7.1.1. Could you please try deploying your stack with LiveCode 7.1.2 or LiveCode 7.1.3 and see if the problem goes away?

Thanks!

n_star348: Yes, there is a way to do that, probably, but it would involve you implementing it from scratch (i.e. developing the complete string extraction, translation, and substitution infrastructure, from nothing). I know that we're very keen to provide this in a future release, but it's not even ...

As far as I'm aware, both Android and iOS are very specifically designed for it to be difficult or impossible for an app to take a photo without the user being aware of it. I'd be curious to hear if you find a workaround -- and I expect Google/Apple would be quite interested too!

Yes, I'm paying attention to WebAssembly. For purely practical reasons, it's unlikely that I'll start working on anything anything closely linked to it until it's reasonably widely supported by all the major browsers. There's not much point in depending on a technology that's not available to the ma...

For the last couple of LiveCode 8 developer preview releases, you should now just be able to use:
and it should do the Right Thing -- it shouldn't be necessary to use the workaround "FormatInt" functions any more.

I do almost all of my work on LiveCode -- both the core LiveCode engine and the IDE -- using Linux. So, yes, Linux can be used.

It will be really useful to have something that can be used to quantify relative speed -- thank you.

Question: is Wait is disabled now in 8 LC 14? I'm getting a total failure on one stack that I think should run. I have 4 wait commands in different card scripts. I believe I can easily change those to send in time methods without much difficulty. Yes, you need to use "send in time" for now, please....

Well, that's not good news. I actually can't think of any good reason why the DP 14 engine should be slower than the DP 9 engine. Actually, it should be faster! Maybe file a bug report for this, and then I will make sure it gets added at my queue of things to look at (which is unfortunately quite lo...

Note that the fix for this problem in the LiveCode HTML5 engine will be released in dp-15.

That's a bug!
