Rename folder - return result ?

Hi,

When using the rename folder command, is there a return value indicating any errors ?
Could not find this in the documentation.

Thanks

Re: Normalizing text

Thank you for your answers. I wish there were a simpler way of doing this, but the above code will certainly do the job.

Normalizing text

Hello,

Is there a way to convert text with accentuation into a "normalized" text ?

For example: transform "Béla Bartók" into "Bela Bartok"

I cannot seem to get the function "normalize" (https://livecode.fandom.com/wiki/NormalizeText) to work, but I may not be using it correctly.

Markdown to HTML in Livecode

Hi,

Could not find anyting about this, but maybe I missed something. Is there a way to convert a markdown file into an html file in livecode ? Otherwise, I guess it would have to be done in javascript in a browser widget ?

Re: Briwser widget: open link in application

Thanks. The solution i mentioned above works, though it is not very "elegant". I rather keep the markdown files simple to edit.

Re: Briwser widget: open link in application

linkClicked does not work. A solution would be to store the initial URL of the widget in another property of the widget, then use the "browserNavigateBegin" message to replace the original url in the widget and launch the new url in an app. Something like this ? on browserNavigateBegin pURL if pURL ...

Briwser widget: open link in application

I am using livecode to display markdown files that are retrieved from another application ( Logitech Media Server) in html format. I chose to display them using a browser widget. The markdown files contain links. When a link is clicked in the browser widget, is it possible to open the link in a loca...

Re: buffering browser widget

I will work with groups. Oddly, setting the visibility of a group in which there is a browser widget is not sufficient, the widget itself has to be hidden as well.

Re: buffering browser widget

I was afraid that would be the answer - it is simpler to switch cards then manage everything on one, but will give it a shot.

Re: buffering browser widget

thanks. I was aware of how lock / unlock works. Was just wondering if there is anything else to do to buffer a browser widget. My question may not have been very clear.

buffering browser widget

Hi, I use a browser widget to display an image grid (sending it html code). The html code with the image links is displayed quickly. Clicking on a image opens another card. When I return to the first card with the widget, there is a delay for the widget to be displayed completely. I would expect tha...

Re: jsonExport converts number to scientific notation

The solution I found is to loop through the array and do:

put format("%u",array_value) into array_value

It is unfortunate I have to do this, but it works.
