"American". Capital A. 😜
Yep. That's correct.
Spelled and spelt are both acceptable, to a point. I am not unhappy there are differences between American versions onf English and English, but "spelled" for everything is more upsetting to me than leaving out the letter U in so many words.

Re: Error opening Livecode

On android (Samsung Internet browser) on the livecode.com site there's a hamburger menu in the top bar.
Opening that shows the login option near the bottom of the page of menu items, to the right of the button for starting a trial.

Also , in the first line, you do not want to put URL ... // the line below will attempt to put the data returned from the URL into the variable // put URL "https://thedomain.com/thefile.jpg" into tUrl // you just want the string literal in the variable: put "https://thedomain.com/thefile.jpg" into ...

That field appears to be overriding the inheritance, no? Try clearing its backgroundColor property and see if that allows the inheritance.
Or make it transparent

Re: "Enabled of menuitem" doesn't work on Windows standalone

I have tested here on Windows (11) with LC 10.0-dp5 and built a standalone that has two buttons - one is an Option Menu and the other is a Pulldown Menu. I had another button with the script to toggle the state of the menuItem (looping through the lines of the text of the button). The action to disa...

Re: put url does not work in standalone Windows 10

One thing to try (which may or may not work, but is a genuinely considered suggestion) is simply to put the url (or variable containing it) into parentheses for evaluation in the statement

Code: Select all

put url (tURLIPv4) into tCurrentIPAddress

Re: Where are the newbies?

Quite what the relevance is, I'm not sure... I think Richmond's point is that there are "Charlie Faddis grade" users already paying and committed to the business tier, and that there's little point in chasing more "Charlies" or the "low Livecode-related income/low Livecode-related spend" users such...

Re: Appending Data to a text file

One observation: "tLine5.txt" is a string literal, so you will always be writing to the file literally called "tLine5.txt" - if that's what you want, all well and good. Are you sure you don't want a variable filename according to the value in the tLine5 variable? You might need to put specialFolderP...

Re: Automatically rename objects.

Aye, there are different proposed scenarios to the circumstances described by the OP. I was just mentioning that there is a reason why it *might* be useful to replace into a temp variable.

Re: Automatically rename objects.

Using "replace" in the manner Otto suggests, will preserve the naming convention/structure, in case that might be important or useful. Eg "RuritaniaFlag600x400.png" and "RuritaniaFlag1200x800.png" might become "UtopiaFlag600x400.png" and "UtopiaFlag1200x800.png" respectively. It all depends on the c...
