Re: Datagrid Confusion

This: https://youtu.be/qHTRX6D2N8U?si=xyYxAw12t4O5LbkO says it was v 9.dp-11 Not sure of the veracity. I'll see if I can dig out release notes Although there's this forum post which seems to confirm 9.0.0.-dp11 https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=30343 And although I can't access release...

Re: Random rainbow spinning wheel on cursor

Why do people have so much faith in AI when it comes to manufacturing, planning and management, and coding, given the janky results like the AI post above ^

Re: screen recorder

No, there have been lots of old accounts here that got "broken into" over the years.

Use of the compromised account for an AI bot post is less common though.

Re: screen recorder

Apologies to Manolo, I think my skepticism has gone too far. I hardly trust anyone these days. All real people should beware. I think you're right though, I suspect manolo's account was dormant and now compromised, with this new post that's been "generated" by someone who is not the legitomaye acco...

Re: Over on Haiku

If by "forum bosses" you mean LiveCode Limited, then there's almost no presence here, never has been except for announcements and the odd time that things catch certain staff members' attention. It's a community resource. As moderators are all volunteers, we can't expect too much, especially since I...

Re: Over on Haiku

Why the question marks? It's a bot alright.

And the forum seems to be under a spam attack just now.

Re: [ ANN ] Release LiveCode 10.0.3 RC-2

Nobody asked me but I'll say Artificial Intelligence is largely bunkum. Automatically Generated by (Somewhat) Intelligently Applied Algorithms, I might accept. People are told to fact-check the generated content. Usually the people are asking in the first place because they don't know what the facts...

Re: filter command limitation?

Hi Craig,
You can use * as a wildcard before/after the filter part. With some possible fudging for beginning/ends of the line and checking for CR as well.

Re: [ ANN ] Release LiveCode 10.0.3 RC-2

Ah, well without a paid up licence, I think the -rc and -dp releases won't be available, and of course the current release is time limited only for the trial period. It's a bugbear, and a shame because I recall your previous prolific and valuable contributions, especially with databases.

Re: Alphabeticising a word list?

I suspect that it's going to be something Richmond is trying to generalise for multiple alphabets. sort international might work for many situations but it uses the system locale I dare say his system locale is set for a western alphabet, but given that he works with a variety of other writing syste...

Re: Alphabeticising a word list?

Should this work? sort lines of test by customSort(richmondsOrder,each) The problem is apparently, that richmondsOrder might prove a bit awkward as I am not convinced that: put numToCodePoint(2296) & numToCodePoint(2297) & numToCodePoint(2298) into richmondsOrder is going to "sit nicely". That inde...

Re: Alphabeticising a word list?

It may be as simple as "sort international" but I that is a hope, rather than expectation.

Re: Foot notes in exported documents?

I am sorry, I have not had a chance to do that just yet. Well if and when you do, I can try to help through any obstructions. There's quite a lot to rtf specifications but quite a lot of it does make sense, as I am beginning to remember, having dusted off a very ancient report writer I wrote once. ...
