When you'd quit during suspension, what code did your interface use to do so?

Called when the red close window icon is pressed and the prefs are updated.

Good morning, I have just checked and "suspend development tools" removes all options to close the application under development. Quitting Livecode even fails so its a dead end and I have no idea why it is an option; probably a good idea at the time.

Well the title says it all.

If the stack is just closed from the menu then "closestack message" is sent but if the "Close and Remove from Memory" is used it is not.

I'm on a Mac by the way.

Why is this?

Splitting the handler into two handlers that can be called without sending any parameters works. The first is called normally and the second is called using a send message in n seconds command . I suspect that the value of n is important if the first call is processing hundred of thousands of files....

because if they are that with messages won't make a blind bit of difference. That about sums it up! I've given up and added a second field. However, while experimenting I would guess that the Livecode engine is reading ahead and/or starting the second handler before the delays in the first have exp...

wait with messages forces a screen update. Well if true then its not screen updating that is the root of the problem. Here is the code of my open stack handler: On OpenStack ReadAppPrefsData -- calls local handler to read and set up the application put empty into field "debug" put empty into field ...

Just wanted to confirm that the send "message" in n seconds works. I added a simple handler : On UpdateStatus pText Put pText into field "status" end UpdateStatus and modified the initialise handler to : On InitaliseLists pListName ## Handler that controls reads the data stored in the file system if...

Hi all, I am creating a "quick" utility which uses the following handler : On InitaliseLists pListName ## Handler that controls reads the data stored in the file system if pListName is "ListOfImages" then put "Building List of Images" into field "status" wait 0.5 second lock screen ## first the imag...

I think I can even "feel" the aftermath of the new price policy: The german LC forum is almost dead and in this forum I see far less postings than I used to see. And even on the LC mailinglist it is very, very silent compared to the past. Too sad... :cry: This should be a read as a warning that act...

A pro developer wanting all the features would have to shell out £2K/year for the privilege - so where is the incentive? I have never been sure if there is a silent majority of Livecode users who do not use the forum or the list. Also are the success stories on the website the tip of the iceberg or...

Probably it's time for a 'Fairy Story' from Uncle Richmond.

Snag is most Fairy Stories end with a handsome Prince riding in on his charger and saving the day. That must be the next chapter......

I wonder why RunRev / Livecode went open source in the first place? From memory they started from a payment structure that did not work for them, tried the open source idea for a number of years and then decided it was not working and have ended up today with a similar fee structure to the one that ...

Well that was interesting : the installer fails under LC version 9 but worked under version 10.

Happy to report that Stam's demo stack now works albeit with some errors when it does not like my image files.

PS: I got these as part of the summer mega bundle, so for me these appear in my account under Thirdparty > LiveCode Enhancements (yours may be different if you purchased individual externals instead). The latest version of LiveCode enhancements was published in August, version 1.0.32... Thanks, I'v...
