LiveCode Forums

As I confine myself to the Open Source version of LiveCode 9.6.3 I will leave it to someone else to report that 'bug'.

I have found it to be the same in LC 8.1.10.

It is interesting to note that somebody else, somewhere else, sorted out that problem in a matter of about 90 minutes.

Joking apart: what use is the brushTool if anything produced with it is wiped out on saving?

Well, as the stack contained only my squiggle on a single card, YES.

I drew a lot of "very artistic" squiggles with the paintbrush on a stack and saved it.

When I reopened my creation everything had gone.

This effectively makes the paint tools useless: what am I missing?

Do you have Administrator privileges?

You can make the script editor 'split' into separate windows for each script, then you can close the script windows for the stack you are closing and leave ones for other stacks open.

While I can do this sort of thing by opening the revmenubar.livescript file in a text editor relatively easily, most beginners are not going to be able to: although it would be nice if they had a stack that let them switch between light and dark mode in such a way that their copy of LiveCode would r...

Portativity.

that makes the mods to the revMenubar stack after it's been instantiated

That is exactly what I am trying to avoid,

Many years ago I wrote a stack to modify the revMenBar stack on the fly to make it horizontal, vertical, black, blue and sky-blue-pink. The revMenuBar is generated from a script-only stack: I should like to have a way where end-users of the LC IDE can modify the appearance of the revMenuBar so that ...

LC, being single-threaded

You'd think that'd make sense: but I wonder as 2 stacks are involved . . .

Presumably your PDF creation script needs a wait statement in it until the whole process has completed.

That is part of what I meant. But, just as a script-only stack can create another stack with lots of controls, I want to know if one can reverse the process where a "stack with lots of controls" can be saved as a script-only stack in such a fashion that on that script-only stack being opened inwith ...

is not possible with a "script-only" stack.

The menuBar.livecodescript script-only stack generates the LC menuBar.

saveAS.png - While I understand it is comparatively straightforward to write a script-only stack in a text editor . . . . . . I wonder if there is a way to convert a stack into a script-only stack. It is entirely possible, also, to edit a script-only stack using a text editor (I know, I have done t...
