@LCMark Thanks VERY MUCH for clarifying Mark! Until your answer I had the impression that the x64 Engine is just a x64 wrapper for the x32 Engine which would not make any substantial difference. I'm glad that I was wrong and that it makes perfect sense to stick with the x64 Engine! In regards to the...

Hello lovely people! I'm trying to understand what the most prominent implications are between building and releasing Standalones with LiveCode x64 versus x32, especially on Windows. There is scarce information available, if any at all. Does the x64 have any improved performance over the x32 version...

@LCMark: How are we supposed to safely and effectively use the following SUPER ESSENTIAL command: encrypt tText using "rc4-40" with password myPassword() if the content returned my myPassword() cannot be hidden/obfuscated and remains in RAM until the standalone quits? I'm begging you for a workable ...

Χαχαχαααααχχχχ! Μεγάλε, μας έφτιαξες τώρα! But you ain't living in Greece, right?

Thanks so much for elaborating Stam! Highly appreciated!

Do you mind if I ask you an irrelevant, personal question? Stam is from "Stamatis"? Are you of greek origin or even greek? Curiously asking as I am in Athens...

Hi Stam, all this sounds highly intriguing!! I had to implement my own system for joins, which works fine. Maybe you could share your "join" solution with Mark and his team so they can implement something like that faster into the LiveCloud API? That would be insanely generous!! I can confirm, that ...

Hello Richard, Stam and all, this is just a quick update to let you know that I've not forgotten this thread and to appologise that I haven't yet posted the code. Since about a week I'm going through my 2nd burnout this year because of overworking, mostly coding more that 24-48h in one go. So, every...

@ mtalluto Just a quick FYI on LiveCloud. Local storage is free with no limitations. Just create a free Mist account in LiveCloud Manager. You can use all the APIs with "local" as the target parameter. Hello Mark, and thanks for the reminder. I discovered that from the last time I tried LiveCloud, a...

Hello Richard, so cool to have you arround mate! Chances are it would be a mutually rewarding adventure. Some of the best threads in these forums have been where someone posts slow code, a lot of folks chip in to make it faster, it gets much faster, then Dick Kreisel jumps in and makes it faster sti...

Well, you can store arrays as binary files which can be encrypted. I'm doing that for quite some time now and it is true, it works like a charm for use cases where this is appropriate. For large data sets however, arrays ain't the way to go, especially when I need to match and update related data i...

I checked SEE licensing again and you're most probably right, Stam, looks dull for licensing SEE by LC. Thanks for the hints about SQLite Crypt/ SQL Cipher! These look really hot! However, as you said, how any of these solutions could be made to work with LC remains a big mistery. I wish - AT LAST -...

It sounds like you may have tried this already, but I came across this from Trevor DeVore: Yes, THAT'S the ONE!!! I've just made some minor addaptations mainly for the detection of the XML's UTF encoding/decoding. The only problem I have with the ConvertXMLNodeToArray function is when a parent node...

Hello Stam, thanks for your reply! Highly appreciated!!! Why not encrypt the data *before* storing it to SQLite db, rather than relying on SQLite itself? I'm hessitant because - given the speed struggles that LC already has - it would become practicaly unworkable having to encrypt/decrypt every sing...

Hi Stam! Great to have you here! And reliefing too not to be alone!! I'll prep a stack with the basic handlers and post it here along with a sample of these fat overweight XML files asap. I've certainly banned anything in my code that even nearly smells like "repeat with..." or "put x+1 into x". How...

Hi Richard, and thanks a ton for jumping in so promptly, I'm really grateful!! There are several handlers involved actually. The first is for extracting the data headers from XML nodes to be able to match input columns to output columns. Once the user has matched the i/o, the second handler is calle...
