Stop those messages from showing up in the Message Watcher. Yup: that is all that suppressing message does, just tested it: what a shame. ------- So, the next question has to be: Is there a way to exclude certain messages from being passed? Or, alternatively setting lockMessages in such a way that ...

What is not clear to me (yet) is whether 'suppress messages' means:

1. Stop those messages from running.

or only

2. Stop those messages from showing up in the Message Watcher.

Thank you very much.

I know this is extremely tedious, but one way to cope with this situation is to choose which messages to suppress.

Well, it is unfortunate that lockMessages does not have parameters so you can choose which of the "unnecessary navigation messages" you want to prevent working and which ones you do not want to prevent. It would be wonderful if one could do this sort of thing (pseudo-code): set the lockMessages to t...

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...

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...

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?

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...
