Re: check for update not working

Hi Simon I have all 4 boxes ticked - I left version 6.71 (on my windows laptop) open for over 40 minutes this morning to see if I would get an alert -= I didn't, but when I pressed check update it did suggest updating to 7.x and the notification bubble came up. On Yosemite on my mac as I said check ...

Re: check for update not working

Hi

Notice I said I have done manual updates since last November .... Because the check for update doesn't work. isn't that the whole point?

If it doesnt work and not going to be fixed remove the option until it is going to be fixed or is that being harsh?

Re: Error on loading

HI

Well Matts is it dead for versions greater than 6.x?

I decided today to use version 6.x anyways because other than unicode it has everything in 7.x (unless you know different)

Re: ReturnInField listbox/group Messagepath problem

Hi Craig

Thats what I did - but the Handler is never called in the Group script but gets handled in the main stack.

That's what had me stumped

ReturnInField listbox/group Messagepath problem [SOLVED]

Hi I created a lookup routine using a listbox and allowed for return or doubleclick as a selection - everything worked fine. I then wanted to do other processing that the listbox by itself couldn't do (or maybe me?) so I selected the listbox and made it a group. I transferred all the listbox code in...

Marvin's Paranoid Backup Script

Even though I save my projects in a folder in my dropbox which allows me to go back 2 hundreds of previous version. I still lose a lot of work when livecode crashes - and it does far too frequently - usually when I have been using the debugger. Oh but you should save every 5/10 minutes I hear you sa...

Thanks Thierry RTFM (read The Fine Manual) Went back and saw this The string and regularExpression are always case-sensitive, regardless of the setting of the caseSensitive property.

Re: Matchtext/Regex Case Insensitive Flag

Hi Since nobody has piped up I have to assume it doesn't work and since the livecode documentation says it is PCRE compatible that means it's a bug. Or is this just an Undocumented Feature? I even used s"et the casesensitive to false" and that had no effect either so I have reverted to a kludge by e...
