Great thanks!

When I put a stack into fullscreenmode on my windows computer it completely fills the screen. set the fullscreenmode of stack homeStak to "letterbox" set the fullscreen of stack homeStak to true The windows task bar (equivalent to the Mac dock) is then hidden behind the stack, as is the desktop. Loo...

Setting every field's fontText to "" did enable me to use Set the textFont of this stack successfully again. Much more elegant solution, thanks. Looks like I need to go to an apple shop for my required free OS update. I need an apple id to upgrade the OS and I can only use my apple comp to get an ap...

I thought putting quotes around the specialFolderPaths would be the answer, but it still crashes. So sorry for my terrible mistakes in preOpenStack, as noted, I set the stack’s textFont each time while looping through the number of flds (actually only two fields in that stack, but omg). That stack (...

I’ve written a programme for a uni Aboriginal language course. Unfortunately, it crashes on macs (quits unexpectedly on start-up). I have to get this to work ☹ Any help much appreciated Steve Details: It was written on windows and works on that platform. Once upon a time I would’ve had Livecode inst...

Had exactly the same issue, deleted prefs as you recommend.
Thanks you're a life saver.

Not quite sure what you’re hoping for, but no replies so I’ll give it a go… Livecode uses your operating system’s dialog boxes for queries like answer file or answer folder. For example, if you make a button with the script: on mouseUp answer file "Browse to your file’s location" end mouseUp Then yo...

Scaling doesn’t seem to work on popups. (I haven’t tested much, charging on, but I’d bet it’s a similar story to fullscreenmode.) Includes (meaning not working on) Option menu buttons (only tested pulldown for scaling, others would be the same). Tooltips. For me Tooltips are the only pressing issue ...

set the scaleFactor to… ! Thank you ever so much Jacque. So there is scaling within a window. Well I think that’s a major innovation. It’s not perfect (yet). Sometimes text no longer fits in a field (meaning text can be larger than the field that previously contained it). The loc of a scaled stack i...

Evidently pixelscale is only mobile devices -- generates msg box error saying cannot be set on this platform
And trying to change screenPixelScale causes livecode to crash (windows 7).
Thanks, worth a shot, sounds like would've been great if had worked (and applied only to single app).

Thank you both for replying. I don’t feel the geometry manager is up to the task. However, I have achieved acceptable results by manually resizing stacks and saving all their attributes in procedures, i.e. long lists of: set the rect of fld i to… set the fontSize of fld i to… And so forth. This does...

Thanks for taking the time to answer. Sorry, should've said, these tablets are running Windows 8.1 (same OS as desktops use). If there's a way to use the operating system's 'native controls' that'd be great (but it's only for Android/IOS) Livecode's popups, answer dialogues and tooltips are all stac...

Hi, it appears that fullscreen mode doesn’t scale popup controls, tooltips or answer dialogues? I’m working with touchscreen tablets and desktops/laptops. The tablets have similar screen resolutions to the other computers but are physically much smaller, so text and controls need to be larger. Fulls...

Thanks Richard, that's it. Apparently you can't delete the defaultFolder. If the default folder is another folder then the delete is successful (new result is delResult). The app got the files and displayed them prior to potentially being deleted, that's why it was set as the defaultFolder. Many tha...

Thanks for replying Richard, yes the folder to be deleted is set to the default folder (ooh maybe it shouldn't be...)
Here's the result: 32 delResult
Cheers
