Re: LC and Tahoe, is there a match?

Same, some apps needed updating but in general most stuff works. My biggest issue was with Little Snitch, had to deactivate the application firewall and install new version, now all is good.

No issues at all with LC. MInd you, the is LCC/Classic LC 10, not “community”…

Re: Ask how to save data in LiveCode

Maybe the 'real' people in this generation are so lazy, that, not being bothered to take the trouble to find the answers to basic questions, their questions look as if they have been generated by bots. 8) I reckon they should use two AIs: one to generate the question and the other to answer it, and...

Re: Ask how to save data in LiveCode

Hello everyone, I'm new to LiveCode and want to save data from a field to a text file. I'm not sure which command to use and how to reopen saved data. Can someone share a basic example for me to refer to? Either you are a bot, or perhaps just lazy? I would argue finding answers online is a basic de...

Re: Farewell Livecode...?

My recollection was they stated that LC10 has now entered a maintenance phase and would be maintained with updates through 2027, when it will be sunsetted in favour of LCC. I’m pretty sure no one would be surprised if that happened at a much later date or not at all, given their track history. But o...

Re: Farewell Livecode...?

Having said do we know if LC will continue developing for Linux specifically? NO, as LC is going to stop developing LiveCode completely very shortly. As LiveCode Create is browser-based (?) it should be accessible on far more platforms than LiveCode ever was . . . Haiku OS? Browser based yes. But w...

Re: Farewell Livecode...?

Yeah, that is a disproportionate amount of work just to install software. Generally I have no real reason to use Linux, but it's a good option for resurrecting old machines that are unable to receive security updates. Having said that, I'm not sure I see a value in using an OS that makes it so diffi...

Re: Modern OSX window?

I was under the impression that LC uses whatever the OS provides - is that wrong?

Re: Modern OSX window?

This is a confusing thread. Modern windows?! The statement 'modern windows do not have titlebar' is incorrect. You can (and have always been able to) have windows without a titlebar. Typically this would be a modal with no decorations, since without a title bar you cannot drag it. I don't know if th...

Re: Livecode Create - thoughts?

But then why the hoopla about "Create"? Is it that development for even very experienced programmers is also mightily enhanced? I always thought Create was mainly a means to attract new users with a more friendly drag and drop UI. Shows what I know. LCC is no more drag and drop than LC is. The main...

Re: Livecode Create - thoughts?

I believe their main focus now is custom application programming for larger corporations and businesses. LC still welcomes small developers like us but we aren't the primary target group now. No i get that and that is my point: is this really the best choice? I obviously can’t know, but my impressi...

Re: Livecode Create - thoughts?

I almost have the impression that Livecode Ltd does not want hobbyists and small app developers to buy because they are to much trouble. Yes. And of course the devs they appear to want to target will already be engaged with mainstream free tools instead, so from my uninformed point of view it seems...

Re: Livecode Create - thoughts?

The average wage for a software engineer in Edinburgh is £61,000 per year. If all 113 members buy a licence for LCC then the license fees are not enough to pay for a single software engineer for a year. I can't help wondering where all the users are and when the release of version one will occur. M...

Re: Livecode Create - thoughts?

Some random thoughts: There was a time when LC *could* have become a Python killer, but that ship has long since sailed sadly. You have to hand it to the PSF for setting up Python as a charitable project and networking with all the universities, which has been the main driver for its success in gett...
