LiveCode Forums

Thank you for writing, Fred. I'm very familiar with Pop!, having invited the System 76 crew to present on it at an event I co-organize at the SoCal Linux Expo. Good people there are System 76, and Pop! is a solid distro. I'm surprised something so close to base Ubuntu has an issue installing LC. I u...

Thanks for posting that, Simon.

This isn't a bad choice for posting this, but unless you're primarily looking for other developers to expand it, would the "Using Plugins for Customizing the LiveCode IDE" section be a better fit? I can move it if you feel it is.

How much did you invest in your marketing plan?

I'm not familiar with anything prefab for mobile, but you're welcome to pull anything out of 4W Flight Recorder that may be useful. For simple logging a frontscript trapping medsageHandled is most of what you need, along with a way to turn it on and off as you already have above (just add a line in ...

You probably don't want each CGI process hanging out for five minutes.

Another option would be self-cleaning: what if each new request deleted older files from earlier requests?

CGIs are discreet processes. LC is launched by Apache, runs, returns a value, and dies with each request. This keeps things simple and tidy, but obviates persistent processing like needing to run a periodic cleanup. Cron is the tool of choice for periodic tasks, but if you want to clean it up with a...

Panos, I know this is an unpopular question, but I have something on the horizon for which the map widget may be essential:

Any chance the browser component can become compatible with modern Ubuntu before year's end?

Assembly? Why not cut the development time by 90% and use C?

And if that much precision with time is required, does the CNC require specialized hardware (mobo, bus, etc)?

Sure. But I have a vague recollection of a conversation with Mark Waddingham about the accuracy of measurements smaller than milliseconds. I got the impression such things would be approximations, perhaps not all that different from what we could obtain with arithmetic on milliseconds. Do I misremem...

Which languages are recommended for the SQA Automation Engineer position?

Also I've found on Android, avoid having any code in a preOpenStack handler What did you try that didn't work out as expected? Just in general, if I have code in the preOpenStack handler, I've noticed that the delay with the black screen on startup is longer. That will always be the case, on all pl...

What did you try that didn't work out as expected?

Normally each version is in its own folder, and they do not interfere with each other. Can't say what happened there, but glad you have a good install now.

The paths seem straightforward enough. Yes, it may be helpful to try a fresh install.

Do you have any third-party plugins installed?
