Is there a way to select which lens is used when shooting on an iPhone with multiple front lenses?

Reviving an old(ish) thread:

THANKS for this! I'm sorry I didn't say this before.

One more question: any suggestions for how I should try to get this working for Windows users as well?

I'm refreshing my memory of LC tricks, which often means reminding myself of things by using examples from the LC Dictionary. The code samples provided there are very helpful... except when they don't work as expected – or at all. This is from the cameraControlCreate entry: cameraControlCreate "myFi...

For a while I was still getting the same old error. In the end, after browsing the htaccess section of askapache.com, I put ".cgi" at the end of the livecode-server name and tweaked the htaccess reference – and it's working! Curious that you don't have to do that, but I am delighted to have found th...

EDIT: I have found the answer! What I wrote originally (below) is not correct. Read the subsequent posts for the solution. Mod_alias is available but I was in a support chat today and this was what I was told – after he went through a few things to check. Perhaps things that need more than _alias p...

Very helpful, both of you. Thanks! Time for some more pondering and testing...

EDIT: I have found the answer! What I wrote originally (below) is not correct. Read the subsequent posts for the solution. After trying this for a while and chatting with Dreamhost's support team (who are always helpful) it turns out that running LiveCode Server as CGI is NOT possible in a shared s...

EDIT for posterity: it IS possible to run LC Server in Dreamhost shared server space. See the link to a different thread in Richard’s post below. --- Figured out the problem. Unfortunately it's NOT possible on Dreamhost's shared servers. Three Apache modules are required for livecode-server to run ...

Most of the posts seem to focus on the problems inherent in setting it up, which may be why we see so few actually programming it. I think you hit the nail on the head. I've asked for help from LC Towers, but no joy yet. I use shared hosting at Dreamhost and I'm happy with this; I'm hoping not to h...

I tried that 'How To' page before, but I did it again (as I know I make mistakes) and got the same result. Here's my experience: In the web root .htaccess I added: AddHandler livecode-script .lc Action livecode-script /cgi-bin/livecode-server I created a cgi-bin folder and added the contents of the ...

I would imagine it's much faster to get the imageData and walk through it in a loop.

I feel silly asking, but any pointers on getting this data out in a recognisable form? If I put it into a field it just displays a long single string like so:

Added to QCC: bug (not really a bug) 22212.

I have always wanted to have a function "the pixelColor", that would not require the actual cursor to be placed somewhere, only to specify a loc. Maybe we can propose an enhancement request. Craig Newman That would indeed be great! I've just scoured the LC dictionary for something like that and end...

I read in a 2008 post on this topic (back in the Rev day’s) that Dreamhost requires .cgi as the filename extension, but my tests with htaccess suggest this may not be restricted like that – or at least it’s trivial to work around.

Dreamhost is my preference, and the web root there is the domain name, for example thatkeith.com. So yes, it varies for each domain but in a logical manner.
