Hi Paul,
thanks for making the effort to recreate the error. It is true that the widget needs to be set to READ ONLY in order for the error to appear. I filed the bug report, feel free to add to it, if you have further observations:

Hi and thanks for testing. I think the culprit is the "SHOW VALUE" property. when you deselect it, then make a minor change of any other property in the inspector the error appears. The error disappears if you again select the "SHOW VALUE" property. can you confirm? You can follow the procedure in m...

Hi, in my use case I wanted to recreate the state of the app to exactly the same state as the user had left it. It is a mobile app with a lot of groups that the user can swipe left or right. Originally I set the scroll of those groups just in the preOpenCard message, but it was not so snappy. The ch...

Hi,
does anyone know how to propose changes to dictionary via github when teh change concerns a property? Thanks. Oliver

Hi Bernard, thanks for your reply. I have tested it also with English only keys. The error message appears when the mouse leaves the widget on the right hand side. That explains the seemingly randomness in my OP, I just didnt know then. I can now conistently trigger the error message. When the mouse...

Hi, I created a tree view widget and added some keys and subkeys to it. It seems to work as expected, but I get in irregual intervals an error message, see screenshot. The widget continues to work normally, but the error message appears sometimes once in 30 minutes, then sometimes several times per ...

@richmond62 Sorry, I don't understand your comment. Irony is not my strength. My point was to say that I would hope more people would discover livecode and would actively contribute to its development, either in the forums, building extensions, improving the documentation an so on. What's wrong with...

Hi, I am still not completely convinced why it would be so complicated to set the scroll from another card, I can fake it by locking the screen, go to the card, set the scroll and return to my original card. Why wouldnt the engine be able to do this in the background without triggering the opencard ...

hi, I was looking up the properties of the player object and to my surprise the playloudness was missing from my dictionary. (LC 9.6.1 Indy) I wanted to suggest a change through github but somehow did not manage to find the right place, since the properties are not found directly on the player objec...

Attempting to alter a field property dependent on rendering the field's contents on an unopened card is like trying to iron a shirt while it's still packed into the bottom of the suitcase. Hi Richard, this analogy doesn't convince me yet. I can change the position of a control within my scrolled gr...

Hi and thanks for the responses. I am for now setting the hscroll of my group in the preOpenCard handler. But from intuition it would seem sensible that I can set the scroll property from anywhere in the stack. Not sure I understand why it is more difficult for LC to set the scroll than for example ...

I am using livecode to create interfaces for video-installations in a museum context. The single most important thing for me would be to be able (again) to place controls on top of a player object without compromising playback speed and framerate. My second biggest wish would be to be able to place ...

Hi, is it really so that I cannot set the hscroll of a field or group located on card 1 from a button or card script located on card 2? If that is true, what is the rationale, is it a bug or a feature? The only work-around I found is to lock screen, go to card 1, set the hscroll, go back to card 2 a...

Hi and thanks for this extension. This seems very useful, I will give it a spin. Also great that you dared to jump into LCB water. I would have a lot of ideas for extensions, but I am still busy learning livecode, so LCB is out of my reach for now. Anyway, thanks again and congratulations! Best. Oli...

Thanks mrcoollion! I slowly get familiar with the shell function. I can see how it could work on my own machine. Im my case I want to use python libraries to do some speech recognition and processing with the resulting data feeding back into my livecode application. But how would this work when I wa...
