Hi, The encrypting/decrypting the file on startup/shutdown intrigues me, but I suspect I need an external to do this which is beyond me unless you were talking about native LC encrypt feature? Encrypting the whole db should work like this: put char 1 to 256 of the script of this stack into MyPW answ...

Hi, it wouldn't help to encrypt only the relevant fields in the records? It slows down quite a bit, but as long as you don't have heavy db usage this shouldn't matter. Often it's enough to use non-describing table names, and encrypt only 1 or 2 fields ... Alternatively, if not too big, decrypt the w...

Hi,

done. Bug report

Edit: The ReadMe in the attachment is wrong. Replace Win 7 with Win 10 ;-)

Have fun!

Hi, to save you the time I've lost: :evil: It seems that LC8 doesn't support relative paths anymore when connecting to a SQLite db. It gives you a proper looking connectionID at "revopendatabase", but any subsequent calls to "revdatafromquery" or "revdb_execute" will fail with "no such table ..." - ...

Hi, what you're describing here is commonly named an ERP . That is what I'm making my living with - helping ppl to find, setup & maintain it, then adding customer specific stuff to it - and that's where LC comes in: connecting the ERPs to web shops, POS terminals, tax advisers/ accountants/ authorit...

Hi, I did something similar some years ago. My experience was that "the common User™" becomes confused when what it types isn't displayed - its mental capabilities are often less than desired, and instead of realizing that it types something wrong it may cry for the IT department to replace its keyb...

Hi,

you might have a look in the putty package.
PSCP or PSFTP might do what you want, via simple shell scripts.

Haven't tried myself, but should I need, I'd start here ;-)

Have fun!

Hi, you're a prophet: Frankly I would just install the latest 7 series 64 bit version and stop worrying about things. Well, nearly. It's a LC 8-64 that started for the first time close to the time of your posting ;-) Meanwhile on another partition: Heavy discussions between me & a 32bit CentOS that ...

Hi, V8 took about double the time compared to V6. That just seems wrong. I mean, not the fact that you're seeing the slowdown, but the fact that it takes twice as long. I'd be really interested to see some sample code [...] Wasn't serious testing, just a Q&D try. I compiled a (known good) socket ser...

Hi, The great thing about Linux is that it's infinitely configurable; the bad thing about Linux is that it's infinitely configurable. ;) And the most bad thing is that nearly every other distributon has another way to do it ;-) You're welcome to start such a discussion, but personally I see it as lo...

Hi, a few more hints about this: Here: put revDataFromQuery(tab, cr, gConnectionID, tSQL) into tData is a potential culprit. It adds additional linefeeds (see Dictionary CR, which is synonym to Return). When working with data containing such already you'll want to use other delimiters, for instance:...

Hi, With Ubuntu the one-liner Neil provided here did the trick for me: http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=20091&p=104639#p104639 Been there, tried that - no i386 versions in the repos anymore, for Centos or Solus at least. What is important is that here the i686 packages contained them!...

Hi, seems there's a bit of confusion about this - running 32bit versions of LC on 64bit Linux systems. Some say it works, some say it doesn't, there's some few hints what's required all over the forum - so when I decided to give Linux another try I quickly became rather confused, too. But since it's...

Hi, "Those are padding characters that are inserted [...] in order to achieve the desired sorting behavior depending on the input type settings. For a query like that we need to join to the ProductionControlJobs table to get the settings and then use the _FS_MARK_STR function (a user-defined functio...

Hi, Unfortunately, I'm now on a 64-bit GNU/Linux computer, and LiveCode 6 doesn't run on 64-bit GNU/Linux. Oooops? I know it's off topic, but I got the latest 6.* STABLE running on 64-bit Solus . Only - it doesn't display any fonts yet, like shown here by Richmond. Seems all that's lacking is 32-bit...
