LiveCode Forums.

Meanwhile, thanks to a friend, I discovered Claude AI. ... This is the tool I wish I had: LC and good integration with an AI. ... Agree 100% on Claude, t's pretty amazing being able to grapple with any language and sort out server & SSL issues in minutes rather than the weeks it would have taken me...

The point wasn’t the Pascal. For me it was how an extremely successful platform fell from grace and why… I see many parallels in many current platforms that are slowly going the way of the dodo… or at the very least the way of Lazarus… the actual language used doesn’t enter in to it.

Some of us may find this interesting, and possibly see some parallels in other RAD environments:

It's probably not a matter of Hi-DPI. Windows laptops have an annoying setting called 'magnification' - available in the "Display" control panel and independent of 'resolution'. On large external screens it defaults to 100%, but on small laptop screens it can be anywhere between 150% and 300%. This ...

To effect an AND, a command may be run twice. filter elements of MyArray with regex "fox" filter elements of MyArray with regex "dog" First off I'm a regex fan. I would use regex for everything if I could. But does this work with elements that have subkeys? And, importantly, does it work with the a...

Hi Bernd, Yes I swear but Regex101 for all regex testing. The only problem with it is that it defaults to JS regex which has a 'global' match flat (ie all matches are returned) whereas LiveCode uses PCRE regex, which doesn't have this (only the first match is returned). As a workaround I uses this f...

Saving a secure text file is NOT saving an application from an application, it is exporting a file. Agree completely, but to remind you, the original question was: In the Community version, can we have our application save an application? Which I take to mean is it legal to do so, as in theory ther...

Hosting is a cheap commodity. The cost of spam management isn't the fixed cost of hosting (US$6-$10/mo), but the variable cost of the human effort to mitigate. Right now most of it's done by volunteers, so there's no cost to the company. Which is fine if the human effort can cope. But one man can't...

Creating an application from within any version of LC would be a conflict of interest: I could author an app development kit in LC and then hive off a standalone in direct competition with LC. This is what the EULA actually states: b) You are prohibited from creating or distributing Created Softwar...

You could always consider submitting a feature request at http://quality.livecode.com - perhaps the mergGK external can be updated. Might be of interest for LCC as well...

I'm gonna guess probably not, if what you mean is attaching all the bits of engine to a standalone... Potentially you could imitate this with an app created with a splash screen app, which then launches a mainstack to actually represent your app (that way you've built the full app once, but the actu...

Hey, I'd rather it didn't - there is a wealth of information hidden in this forum. But everything costs money...

Hi Emily, I was curious to try this, but there is an error - clicking any of the two buttons just generates an error, because it doesn't load SecureTextBackscript into the backscripts at startup. I can see this is meant to load the script of this substack into the backscripts using the startup handl...

Thanks Heather!
Since Catchpa is not the answer as it only prevents bots, I was wondering if there's an option to use Akismet or Cloudflare for spam management (I'm sure these work with phpBB) - but there may be a cost implication for a platform you may not be considering maintaining in the future...

Hi all At this point there are at least 188 spam posts on the forum (I use the “new posts” function when I view the forum). Clearly the catchpa being used for new users is not sufficient to deal with these as the forum has been constantly getting through with 1-post users being the dominant posters ...
