Livecode crash

Post by Zood » Sun Oct 08, 2017 1:28 pm

Hey all,

not sure this is the right place to put this but since it concerns my mac i'll give it a go
Each time I try to change colors on an object (background, text, hilite fill etc) LC (community edition) crashes :(
Anyone having similar problems or know a fix?
Already tried:
Livecode 8 instead of 9, similar issues
Clean install of both LC 8 and 9, similar issues
I don't have another PC to test

Error:

Hi Zood,
Each time I try to change colors on an object (background, text, hilite fill etc) LC (community edition) crashes :(
It sounds like an OS X 10.13 issue
This happens when you try t change colors with inspector, by script or both ?
Best regards

Hey,

just by inspector, by script it does what it's told to do without crashes
any ideas what it might cause?

I remember I did a group "custom answer color" to define colors properties for iOS app.
It works on iOS, OS X 10.12 and Windows.
Some people of this forum helped me to define the main function.

Code: Select all

function getMyPixColor pImage,x,y
   put x - the left img pImage + 1 into tImgX
   put y - the top of img pImage + 1 into tImgY
   put the imageData of image pImage into tData
   put the width of image pImage into tWidth
   put the height of image pImage into tHeight
   put tImgX into tColumn
   put tImgY into tRow
   put tWidth * tRow * 4 into tAllRows
   put tColumn * 4 into tTheColumns
   put tAllRows + tTheColumns into tByte -- for loc 1,1 it gives byte 4, see above how the 4 bytes of the pixel work
   
   -- we want byte 2 to 4 of the pixel
   put charToNum (char tByte - 2 of tData) into tRed -- byte 
   put charToNum (char tByte - 1 of tData) into tGreen
   put charToNum (char tByte of tData) into tBlue
   put tRed & comma & tGreen & comma & tBlue into tWholeRGB
   return tWholeRGB & cr & the mousecolor
end getMyPixColor

Hi all,

If you are on High Sierra and open and close the macos color picker, livecode crashes. This is specific to Macos High Sierra (10.13) and it is fixed in LiveCode 8.1.7 rc3
