Note that the uninstall feature was broken, and just got fixed now in LC9-dp7.
I haven't tried the latest LC8 yet, so I don't know if the fix got migrated there.
I've found it's best to do the uninstall process manually.

Found the files in the following folder with 'free commander'.

C:\Users\Paul.Super-PC\AppData\Local\RunRev\Documentation Cache\8_1_4_commercial
C:\Program Files (x86)\RunRev\LiveCode Community 6.7 (dp 5)\Plugins\extensions

(See printscreen below blue lines)

This is strange because I am working with Indy Livecode 8.1.4.

I do however have older and community versions installed but this should not mean that a widget should be placed within a non active Livecode version!!!

Any idea's!

Open the IDE, look in the Edit menu at Preferences.
Select Files & Memory.
The User Extensions field will be the folder where your extensions are stored.

Within that folder you will find a folder named "Extensions".

If the field is blank then the IDE will be using the default folder. I forget where that is, but IIRC it's named "My LiveCode", so try searching for that.

...and the setting is irrespective of the LC version, so whether you're using 8.1.3 or 8.1.4 or 42.1.0 the IDE will find its extensions in the same place.

Was anyone able to use the widget successfully with LC 8.1.5RC1 or LC9DP7 with colorwidth of the widget set to "wide"?

When i sett the colorwidth to "wide" the widget does not display any color between the segment lines and not on the segment lines. Switching back to "smal"l shows a color again on he segment lines.

Hello,

I think I found the reason why the gauge widget does not work in "wide" modus in LC 8.1.5 RC1/2 and LC9 DP7

http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19948

I hope the Livecode team can fix this for the final release of 8.1.5

Kind regards
Bernd

The Gauge Widget will be working again in 8.1.5 final
It is just the DP versions of 8.1.5 and LC 9 DP7 that the gauge widget will not work in "wide" modus of colorWidth.

@bn: I fixed that bug this morning - it will go into the next build of 8.1.5 (probably rc 3). Apologies for this - it was my fault - I misread a PR which was to fix a problem with the oval paint tool... It fixed that problem, but only because the oval paint tool code was *not* dividing its diameter by 2 to get radii!.

Hi Kai,

sorry I don't do android standalone. Not of any help here.
Though the path seems a bit funny.

Kind regards

it is a bit tricky to do this using graphics. I did it before I did the widget. I post the graphics version here for you to use/change/study.

I would try to get the widget to work in your Android-app. I don't think your error when building a standalone has to do with the gauge widget. It is a building error. Do other widgets work in this setting?

Kind regards

What do you mean? Do other widgets work with Android standalones? Or do you mean that your graphic works with your standalone?

Kind regards
