BTW, FolderWasher doesn't delete folders, just files, unless the folders have been compressed as .zip files.
This is an idea for an update to not delete the .zip, .rar, .iso and .dmg files.

2. Stop those messages from shiwing up in the Message Watcher. I bet on this. After digging in the IDE scripts, I wrote this script but I don't like it. 1 - I'm not sure it performs all the actions that should be 2 - I don't really like calling commands from the IDE scripts because they are of cour...

Don't worry, I found the masterpiece: it's at the Louvre Museum!

At least it would be useful if I could retrieve the list of open scripts in the editor. I could thus check if the stack that I want to close has some of its scripts edited, and warn.

Use the lock messages command when a handler performs an action (such as opening a stack) and you want to speed up access by preventing unnecessary navigation messages (such as openStack) from being sent. Well, obviously one of the "unnecessary navigation messages" concerns closing script editor wi...

However, I have to ask: Why are you locking the messages in the first place? For information, it is for the script of a button of a personal development tools palette which must close in a somewhat brutal way the stacks which I no longer use. When developing, I often open several stacks to copy ele...

What am I missing?

Maybe "lock messages" before closing?

So with mistakenly deleted folders, is there any way to restore them?

Well, it depends of your OS.
As it is said in the "Help/About" window:

WARNING: deleted files are moved to trash on MacOS but there are permanently deleted on Windows and cannot be recovered.

Here is my testing procedure: 1 - opening a test stack, let's call it "TestStack" 2 - opening another stack, let's call it "AnyStack" 3 - editing the script of some controls of the "AnyStack" stack 4 - editing the script of some controls of the "TestStack" stack 5 - the "TestStack" stack has its des...

Nice trick Richmond62 :) Though, I would prefer a "full script" way, if possible. If so, I get what you are saying, but also say that everything is working as advertised. After, all, even with the stack closed, you can still edit the scripts, and even save them, assuming the stack itself has only be...

Hello, Is there a way to force the script editor to update its tabs when closing a stack? If I close a stack with locked messages and have some of its scripts opened in the script editor, the editor doesn't update and its tabs become nonsense. On the other hand, if I close a stack with unlocked mess...

It’s a personal standalone that is currently being developed. The method which adds an overlay field is much simpler to use than the one which adds/removes ASCII 11 characters but it can be more complex if I need several highlights in a large scrolling field. At this stage of production, I haven't d...

Wow, very impressive! I didn't know about the formattedRect and your use of it opens up great perspectives for me. Also, the blendDarken ink is smart. In absolute terms, we could dream of a future version of LC which would manage a few more HTML tags, like "<br>" for example. In any case, thank you ...

Nice

This is a simplified version:

Thanks Craig, that’s a smart solution :) However, if I want to be a perfectionist, placing a semi-transparent element on top of text decreases the contrast of the text and it is no longer black. This is the difference with the concept of background , where the color is placed in a layer lower than t...
