Re: Force the script editor to update?
my screens and the Project Browser quickly become cluttered Erm: how many screens do you have? I still do not understand why it is necessary for you to lock messages. Aha: Use the lock messages command when a handler performs an action (such as opening a stack) and you want to speed up access by pr...

Re: Force the script editor to update?
First of all, I opened my 2 stacks and their scripts, then typed lock messages into the messageBOx: no difference. Secondly . . . Opened your stack: - SShot 2024-04-23 at 11.22.11.png - And, as you explained, the script editors remain open when the stack is closed. However, I have to ask: Why are yo...

Re: Force the script editor to update?
I just opened 2 stacks, and 2 script editor windows: 1 for an object in the first stack, and 1 for a script in the second stack.
When I closed the first stack, the script editor for the object in that stack closed too.
What am I missing?

Re: My masterpiece vanished.
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.

Re: My masterpiece vanished.
Joking apart: what use is the brushTool if anything produced with it is wiped out on saving?

Re: My masterpiece vanished.
Well, as the stack contained only my squiggle on a single card, YES.

My masterpiece vanished.
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?

Re: Force the script editor to update?
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.

Re: Saving as LiveCodeScript
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...

Re: Saving as LiveCodeScript
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 ...

Re: Open PDF once created
You'd think that'd make sense: but I wonder as 2 stacks are involved . . .LC, being single-threaded

Re: Open PDF once created
Presumably your PDF creation script needs a wait statement in it until the whole process has completed.
