LiveCode Forums

Looking up imageSource in the Dictionary, I see only how to set the imageSource property. This seems to correspond to the Source field in the Basic Properties list. But how can the contents of Source be accessed in LiveCode: is there a sort of "get imagesource…"?

Thanks for that, bn, I shall give it a try. (Have done so and it works a treat. Many thanks for a quick solution.) I wonder if the error has anything to do with OS X 10.9.2, which I use. I have done numerous tests with the sort function in a little test site and it all works fine until I try dateTim...

In System Preferences, what are your settings for Language and Region and specifically for Date and Time?

For several years I've had a piece of script that has, I believe worked: set the useSystemDate to true set the itemDelimiter to ":" sort lines of dateHTML descending dateTime by item 1 of each Now, however, the lines are not sorted at all, but remain in their original sequence. as can be seen at htt...

Simon, you're question has solved it (I think). I checked all the Close commands, as earlier suggested, but these refer only to local files that are read or created. Thanks to your suggestion, I looked for "hide" and I found a "hide stack "revTools"" in the openStack script of the main stack. Commen...

I shall do as you suggest, but first this. I wanted to record in a movie what was happening in case anyone couldn't envisage it or just didn't believe it ;-) With the Tools Palette and my main stack visible, I started QuickTime Player, which has an excellent tool for partial screen capture in video ...

Things get more complicated. Today, even the script on mouseUp open stack "eBook templates" end mouseUp causes the tool palette to disappear (whereas, curiouser and curiouser, a go to stack no longer does!) There is some truth in your idea that a stack might be marked as "dirty". I have just made a ...

No!

Firstly, note that a stack window is already open, together with the Tools Palette, when a substack is opened with "go", causing the Tool Palette to disappear. Then, So using "go" seems to fix the problem… No, using "open stack" seems to fix the problem. You also write that using "go" effectively ca...

With open stack… the tool palette remains visible.

I can actually make the tools palette disappear, though I don't know if this would be considered normal behaviuor. Firstly, because the tools palette is hardly ever present, I do a "set the visible of stack "revTools" to true" and it shows up nicely. I can even use it. I then execute a "go to stack ...

Richard, if you mean plug-ins for LiveCode, then no additions: just use the basic package as it comes. I have noticed, however that LiveCode fails a lot more than RunRev used to. This seems to happen most when using or after having used the Dictionary: text input is impossible; script editing window...

I used to have the same problem with RunRev. Hasn't changed with LiveCode: tools palette still disappears and no amount of menu use will make it reappear. The Set Visible is all that seems to do the trick (and I always forget it!).

Thank you very much, Klaus. It now works!

I want to allow the selection of either a jpg or a png image file. I use the following code: answer file "Choose original label image:" with type "Image files|jpg|JPEG|png|PNG|" (I've tried it with and without the final vertical bar), but only jpg documents are selectable in the resulting file list,...
