LiveCode Forums

Hi all, i'm going to be porting a rather complex Filemaker database app to LiveCode and am wondering about strategies to make sure this is efficient and maintainable going forward... The database has several entities and has been refactored/refined over a number of years. During previously developme...

Try to trash your LC prefs, use the message box to locate the file:
put the filename of stack "revpreferences"

Klaus - you're a genius!
Trashing the prefs worked a treat!

All back to normal now...

Thank you!

Thanks Klaus, will try trashing the preferences when I get back to my computer...

So far, restating LC and rebooting did nothing...

I guess worse case scenario just reinstall?

Wild guess, maybe it will only work inside of handlers/functions?

nope:

Hi all, I prefer to use strict completion mode & variable checking to reduce errors from typos etc. This had been working fine until today... but as today this seems to have stopped working. Live errors and variable checking are selected in the script IDE and 'strict compilation mode' is selected in...

Do you maybe know, wich path to set up in LC to get the connection to android working?

For me, it's located at: /Users/[USER]/Library/Android/sdk

Not sure how you define successful…

To be clear, i didn't name the original thread!
Rather than 'really successful' i would say software you're proud of - for me that's a better measure...

good stuff guys, really interesting... hope people will post more! Has there ever been an apple-style (annual) "design awards" competition? Not only would this be of interest to people curious about LC but would probably inspire many. Even XOJO has an annual competition and i'm always curious to see...

Hey all - this is a 5 year old thread and I know there is an official “stories” link on mothership’s website...

But wondering what else people have done with LC? Any proud commercial/non-commercial devs wanting to show off their efforts? (Not just on iOS!)

Hi Fuenzy, If i've understood correctly you want a score of 30 to decrement by 1 every 5 seconds and stop at 0 - and a reset button that stops this and puts the score back to 30? You can also do this with wait with messages (for non-blocking interface that allows interface to work normally while wai...

I build theList, which at this point doesn't work, in the following form: (1,1,1,1350, ...(total of 19 values)..., 0,0,0), (2,1,1,1350, ...(total of 19 values)..., 0,0,0), (3,1,1,1350, ...(total of 19 values)..., 0,0,0), ... ... ... (26,1,1,1350, .......................... 0,0,0), Hi Lonie, The par...

That being said, it would genuinely be helpful if someone had an “idiots guide” on how to submit apps to the windows and Mac App Store... Is there “an app for that”? In the world of XOJO you can use the Ohanaware appWrapper that manages code signing, notarisation etc - these processes seem to just i...

Except as mentioned, strictly always returns false regardless if the value is 3 or 3.0. That is, as I understand it, because of the way the value is stored internally (quite possibly the integer is stored as a double and the rational as some other data type internally). The logic of “coercion” is su...

As of LC 8.0 there is an "is strictly" operator. value is strictly { nothing | a boolean | an integer | a real | a string | a binary string | an array } Unfortunately I can not get it to work with integers. It probably reflects the internal state of LC or how it currently views value. Maybe someone...

Of all the methods you've demonstrated is there a "Best Practice" method I should adopt? Any speed benefits from one or the other? Well i consider myself a LiveCode newbie as only been using this for a couple of months... so not sure i can advise about best practice! But in my mind, using parameter...
