Re: Unusual Refresh Problems with Mac standalone
It's not a problem that I've ever encountered with any of my Mac standalones that employ multiple cards. My Devawriter, which has 51 cards at the moment, has never, over 14 years of development and deployment, had this problem. Oh, and Klaus: sorry, I don't pay for anything with Deutsch Marks, only...

Re: Exporting text to SVG
However, I have no wish to display SVG images in a browser, I might want to import SVGs as vector objects to use as, say, scaleable icons/buttons.

Re: Exporting text to SVG
I have just used this service: https://www.vertopal.com/ to produce an SVG image from my text (which is far, far inferior to what LiveCode is pumping out): - Screenshot 2024-05-04 at 17.23.28.png - Opening that file in a text editor I can see why it is "what it is": " Created by potrace 1.16, writte...

Re: Exporting text to SVG
I have downloaded a free SVG image from the internet that CAN be imported into LiveCode: - Screenshot 2024-05-04 at 17.02.57.png - Beetle.svg.zip - Examining that image in a text editor I notice the signal difference between it and my exported SVG image is that it contains this text at the start: <!...

Re: Exporting text to SVG
I have a feeling that the SVG parsers in the browser and Inkscape are reading the WIDTH of the image wrongly. - SVG from Text 2.livecode.zip - I am now going to "fool around" with image widths . . . on mouseUp set the width of fld "f1" to ((the formattedWidth of fld "f1") * 1.5) set the height of fl...

Re: Exporting text to SVG
I mucked around with the code so that an SVG is exported that is not automatically 800 x 800 pixels: on mouseUp set the width of fld "f1" to the formattedWidth of fld "f1" set the height of fld "f1" to the formattedHeight of fld "f1" set the left of fld "f1" to 40 set the top of fld "f1" to 40 -- pu...

Re: OpenCard to control?
Well . . .Of course, I could send "openCard" to the desired controls by "send" or "dispatch" but I don't know which controls should receive this message.
Code: Select all
on OpenCard
send "mouseUp" to button "myButton"
end openCard

Re: ChatGPT and LiveCode
My recent experience with A.I. did not make me think of "reconstituted pork products", it made me think rather more of pot-au-feu , especially the way certain "sausages" kept coming round again and again, and the way that the robot forgot I didn't like "mushrooms" (over use of quotation marks), yet ...

Re: Exporting text to SVG
Ouch: that is a bit disappointing.
But that problem is NOT, Bernd, with your code, it has more to do with the fact that LiveCode can only adequately render a subset of all SVG files.
Thank you very much indeed for both your help and your forbearance.

Well, that certainly works for Bulgarian:

Although 'font retention' does not seem to be there when I open the result in Inkscape:

And this in Inkscape:

So, just to see how far things would stretch I tried this:

And got this in Inkscape:

So, NO, I am sorry, that does not "do it for me".

Re: Exporting text to SVG
Oh, Bernd: I almost love you: and the thing that prevents that is the frustration I feel from wrestling with a robot for about 4 hours.
