Re: Problems with HTML5 standalone (psychology experiment)

I will keep you posted about my progress - maybe it can be of help for someone else. Thanks for following this through here as well as in your actual project! It's always helpful to read what ends up working when there's been this sort of back-and-forth. I look forward to learning of your project's...

Re: Execute permissions?

I'm in the middle of a career adjustment so at this point I'm not in the market for anything but a serious budget solution. But that's a useful link for me to start with!

Re: Execute permissions?

I am tempted, I must admit! 😁 I'd appreciate pointers, if only to point out any bear traps. If I go further it will have to be with a separate device rather than dual booting, so wifi networking will be even more important.

Re: Execute permissions?

I've always been a little curious, and I built my Exif Fixer app for Linux as well as Mac and Windows. I've been trying halfhearted to get Linux installed on an old MacBook Air, and a Linux-specific bug in my app (plus some encouragement) spurred me on into trying again. Mint did the trick, includin...

Re: Execute permissions?

The shell way of checking and setting that does the trick very nicely, although a deb approach would be good. The the more LC apps can be part of every platform's mainstream the better.

Re: Execute permissions?

Answering my own question! :)

Code: Select all

chmod +x /path/to/the/file
does the trick, and I'll check the file's permissions with

Code: Select all

ls -l /path/to/the/file
first, on startup, and set it only if necessary.

But please do throw things at me if this isn't a wise move for some reason. :)

Re: Installing LiveCode in Linux Mint -- Cinnamon

I also found that it was installed into a hidden (dot) directory in my home, which was quite a PITA. LiveCode doesn't show up in the All Applications list nor in a search. I had to Show Hidden Files, go into ~/.runrev/components/livecodebusiness-9.6.1.x86_64 and then Edit > Make Link for the program...

Re: Installing LiveCode in Linux Mint -- Cinnamon

Yep, I found that too. After some head-scratching trying to get the 32-bit version to run, before I realised I'd downloaded the wrong one. (Yeah, what a doofus! :D )

Execute permissions?

I'm very new to Linux, please forgive me for any idiotic things I may say... ;) I have an app I created that uses an embedded copy of exiftool, so users don't need to have that installed separately. It's working well on Mac, Windows, and Linux... BUT on Linux it seems when I download the software I ...

Re: Use send for file cleanup?

Gotcha. Makes perfect sense. What I was wondering was would it (even) be possible to have the code in the web page have a 'send to handler in me in five minutes' so it would effectively do its own cleanup? How would that sit in this launch/run/die scenario? Cron is very likely the best option for th...

Re: Use send for file cleanup?

Good call, definitely my fallback if I can't find a LiveCode specific method. I'm rather interested to know how that might be approached in a server environment with the script embedded in a web page! :?

Use send for file cleanup?

I have a site where images can be uploaded for exif data editing. The edited image is then downloaded by the user, but this leaves the images to build up on the server. Any suggestions for how I should automate a regular cleanup? Is 'send' a viable candidate for this, when it's all executed from cod...

Hi Richard,

Image file handling with LC on server?

I have LC set up on one of my servers and I've managed to get myself into first gear (as it were) with very basic operations: returning HTML with logic-based content, and driving exiftool using shell(). But I'm still struggling to understand the core concepts and differences between LC running on re...
