Re: How to put a .txt file content into a field

Hi All, I have been wrestling with this for a while now and I have been away from LC for some time now. Trying to get back to it! In an App I aim developing, when I open a particular card I want to populate a field with the contents of a .txt file. Each line of the .txt file contains 4 tab separate...

Re: Is forever really forever?

You could always take a walk on the wild side: both the Open Source continuation IDE and the web-browser implementation. Forever is never forever: but some good folk are prolonging 'things' for a bit. 8) The “wild side” as you call it is not (yet?) fit for my purposes. Webtalk, while cute and surpr...

Re: Is forever really forever?

from the records of the LiveCode company in Britain is that nothing is 'forever' and nothing is quite what it seems. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/SC200728/charges Is this link news to you? This is an old story and while I don't understand the legalese, my impre...

Re: Notarizing error

Alternatively, use an AI to guide you through notarisation. They are usually helpful and if you get errors just feed the error to the AI and it will usually sort it out. I personally use Claude AI but I’m sure any AI would do it.

Re: Mac Standalone crashing on launch

Some thoughts/questions 1. MacOS version? 2. LC version? 3. Do you have a current subscription if using LC create classic? 4. If you're using legacy version, has it been modified to run on whatever MacOS you're running? 5. Is this code related? create an empty project with no objects or code, make a...

Re: Codesign error: Operation not permitted

Is that only true for Catalina? And what are the reasons for that? Nowadays you stand a much better chance of getting both a more accurate and definitely a faster answer using one of the many free (or free-tier) LLMs. The role of forums is diminishing day by day but probably forums will still remai...

Re: Is forever really forever?

Yes, server is an important one for me too.
I’m not sure changes to existing installations can be enforced, but then what do I know.

Re: Open socket, wait in .lc file using LiveCode Server

The way I've used server is as pure middleware between the outside world and the database directly; I have it on a linux server running nginx rather than apache and its job is to manage calls received from http calls to .lc files. LC Server then directly interacts with a MySQL instance on the same s...

Re: The wall between a working app and a sustainable one

DigitalOcean droplets (virtual machines) start at $6/month. I beefed up mine a bit (more storage, more CPUs) and pay something like $15/month. This is basically a linux (virtual) machine I ssh into, and installed nginx web server, LiveCode server (with Claude AI's help, because installing server rem...

Re: What version of MySQL can the community version connect to?

I am using a fork of the community version, that has an ARM build, and the dbmysql.bundle file is four years after the community version. My point still stands - you may want yo check if you can replicate with 9.6.3 if it will run in Rosetta and assuming you can launch it in your current OS. The fa...

Re: What version of MySQL can the community version connect to?

I had a look at the FreeDB.tech. There is nothing to see though, no details about the service (other than pricing) seem to included on the website without creating an account. After creating a test account out of curiosity I could see its MyPHP driven interface. You don't get root access which impli...
