duh

Good solution, though it "rubs me raw" to include all kinds of stuff I don't need.

I guess I'll persist data in other ways.

Thanks!

dunbarx, I have several projects for which I have made individual launcher apps. This is so I could persist data when running those apps on other computers that do not have livecode installed. Rather than write a separate launcher for each project, I thought I would write one launcher that could lau...

I wrote what was intended to be a general purpose launcher. You put it in the same folder as the LiveCode project and it launches the first one it sees. Cool. But, sadly, I discovered that the launcher app does not include the "inclusions" needed by the LC project it launches. My launcher is no long...

Thank you all. To answer kdjanz, "yes, saving after putting the project in run/browse mode and then closing the stack" seems to have solved the problem. Now, regardless of whether I am in "browse" or "pointer" mode when I save and close, the pointer/cursor is no longer set to "select objects" when I...

I have a slightly annoying issue. When I first load my project the trackpad cursor is in "selection mode", so when I move the cursor a "dashed rectangle" outline is shown and the pointer starts selecting items on the card. This is no big deal. I just click on the card and the selection mode stops, b...

Lonnie, here is a link to revIgniter https://revIgniter.com and its excellent documentation https://revigniter.com/userGuide/index.html . The documentation is very clearly written and concise. I'm happy to stay in touch with you and discuss your project with you as I work on mine. I assume there is ...

I think a tree might work.

Lonnie, I am no expert. I am just experimenting with LiveCode server myself. I wrote this reply not so much to answer your question as to clear up a misunderstanding that I think you might be operating under. That misunderstanding is that you seem to think the desktop application called LiveCode is ...

bogs, I simply put a field and a button on a card, then run the scripts in the mouseUp event of the button (at different times, of course).

It crashes.

The following code correctly copies the text of a field to the clipboard: copy character 1 to -1 of field "Field" The following code crashes Livecode Community Plus (v9.5.1) running on Mac OS X 10.14: copy character 1 to -1 of field "Field" of me The dictionary suggests that the first is the proper ...

No, it is on the same machine.

I reinstalled MySQL, this time selecting the down-graded "legacy" authentication and it is now working with LC revOpenDatabase. Now I'll see if that was the problem with LC Server & revIgniter.

I don't know, Richard. I guess you would need to ask Ralf. BTW, I tried your 4wDevo plugin. Pretty cool. 8) Do you have any idea why I am getting this error when I try to connect to the MySQL DB in a normal LC stack using revOpenDatabase? (Not using LC server or revIgniter) Client does not support a...

Actually, Ralf Bittner (I believe that is his name) recommends NOT closing the LC tag in server scripts. I just do what I am told to do!! :lol: By the way you can omit the closing “?>” tags in LC server scripts. Generally it is better to leave terminating "?>" tags off, this way whitespace at the en...

I am getting the same error.

Unable to connect to the database.
Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client.

I am using Livecode v. 9.5.1 and MySQL Community Server v. 8.0.19.

EDIT: I think I found the reason. I set up a simple LC stack to connect to my MySQL DB and received an error saying that the client does not support the authentication protocol requested by the server. I don't know how to change that. :( I guess I'm off to the MySQL website. --- I'm testing a local ...
