LiveCode Forums.

Rusty was clear and spot on.

I only mention this to confirm, since that was a recent discussion, that there are a lot of LC people out there that have never posted here. I wonder how many.

Stam. That is what I thought. I will stick with LC forever since it does all I could want. When Create is really running I will try it in earnest, but will not care if i revert back to "classic". Why? I run three different factory production machines using LC through a gadget that communicates to th...

What Klaus said. But as a new user, here is what I have done for a stack I use. This is on a Mac. This uses the "open File" command and creates and writes to a file on my desktop. In this simple example, the variable "filepath" is "/users/craignewman/desktop/myFile.txt" The data it writes is up to y...

Richmond. Maybe, but I think not. I would have bet a dollar that one would notice a difference in "movement" when resizing a card with very many controls, but only a dollar. An AI bot would have to have quite a sense, at least as good as mine, of LC and both its workings and its feel, to compose tha...

Resizing aside, what do you mean when you say

the app shows signs of slowing down

Craig

Klaus makes a point, but I was intrigued. I made a new stack with 4100 controls. Buttons, fields, graphics and sliders. I resized the card and did notice a "jumpiness" in that process. Reducing the number of controls to 2000, still left a similar but smaller effect. Down to 1500 and the effect was n...

NO, as LC is going to stop developing LiveCode completely very shortly.

I am confused. Do I not understand that in 2027 Create will take center stage, but that the "standard" LC UI will still be active and available, if no longer updated?

Where has Sophie been all these years?

I cannot remember what I did this morning, much less what happened five years ago. Here is what ChatGPT says about Mac OS going from 10 to 11: Here are the key changes: Unified toolbar and titlebar: In many apps, the window title and the toolbar (the row with buttons/icons) were merged into a single...

Klaus.

Did you build that textEdit look-alike from scratch? Certainly doable, but unless I am ignorant of some very important LC feature, why did you?

Craig

Klaus,

Your reply was much cuter.

Craig

@Stam. Really? AI integration so you can type out what you want So I could type out: Please make a spreadsheet type of card where I can click on any cell and get the line number the contents of that cell would occupy if I placed all of the spreadsheet data into a single sorted list That? @ Richmond....

They are marketing, just not to us so much. As I said, we're not the target group any more so you're unlikely to see it. "We", "Us". 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 m...

This is discouraging. What happened to "Programming for the rest of us?" I have LC now. I will have it forever. I have not needed nor been grateful for any new feature since the enhancement of the itemDelimiter to support strings of any length. That was a Godsend, the last one I can recall. I do not...

Klaus.

It is what I meant. I would naturally have gone into the mouseUp handler and added a line at the end to send that message to the card.
