OK, you are definitively a bot!

Some bots are useful, some are shady and some just give you more work to do.

I'm in the same boat as you, gregward74.

But you are gregward74, unless you're a bot that's doing a job of carrying on a conversation.

Oh my, the missus has some strange preferences, which I really can't share!

I've been watching this thread with interest as another hobbyist.

If you're a hobbyist, why not look at the alternatives - OpenXTalk and HyperXTalk?

Yeah, that's like a kick in the face!

It's not like we don't like being kicked in the face, but this is repeated kicking to the face

What it is for me is the kill switch. Who puts in a feature like that?

From the Livecode FAQ https://livecode.com/faq

How long will LiveCode Classic be supported?
LiveCode Classic will receive maintenance releases only until 2027, when it will be end of life.

I don't think they visit this site, other than to post announcements. Try their new server https://discourse.livecode.com

Doesn't look like you can't set the htmlText, perhaps it's something that can be added.

Tried launching OpenXTalk and got exactly the same crash as I experienced with LC Community 9.6.2. and 9.6.3. RIP register does not match crashing frame... I expect this is something with my machine, not the LC Comm or OpenXTalk. Suggestions welcome. Thank you. Barry This is what I found when I did...

You don't need to be a programmer to help out - submit bug reports, feature requests, anything to make it a better program!

Sorry to hear that you couldn't get OpenXTalk to work for you, I was sure Sentinel was going to work. Glad that HyperXTalk worked for you. Both OpenXTalk and HyperXTalk are ARM native so they both should have worked on your Mac.

I was getting a crash when building HyperXTalk and it was because there was no code signing. Try using https://itsalin.com/appInfo/?id=sentinel to add adhoc codesigning to OpenXTalk

Feel free to come and join our forums (it leans a little more towards the development of HyperXTalk, but could use some "normal" questions too )
