Re: What controls the space between lines in a field?

Check the fixedLineHeight of each field. Checking the fixedLineHeight increases the space between lines. The text in the two fields still look different. The fonts seem to be different. The font property for both say "(text)" and grayed out. The text font of the stack returns empty, so (I presume) ...

What controls the space between lines in a field?

I have two fields (see image below). The top one is a label field, the bottom one, regular field. There is no other difference between the two. The font, textSize, textHeight, are all identical. The line height is not fixed; however, there are no funny chars or mixed size chars in the fields. Is it ...

Re: AWS Library: Some Basic Questions

Here’s what I have figured out: 1. Setting credentials is simply sending the command AWSSetCredentials. Nothing is returned (both “it” and “the result” are empty). 2. Once your credentials are set, according to AWS REST API reference documents, the signing key and signature are valid for up to 7 day...

AWS Library: Some Basic Questions [RESOLVED]

I am trying to learn the basics of using AWS S3 for data storage and retrieval through LiveCode scripting. The dictionary provides the command AWSSetCredentials kAccessID, kSecret, "us-east-1" and notes that all requests must include an authorization header that contains a scoped signature …., etc. ...

Re: URL specification change LC8.1 to LC9.x [RESOLVED]

Matthias: It worked! By the way the terminal command only shows the plug-ins in the user library. So, I did not see these Adobe plug-ins the first time. I used the Finder to go to System Library/ internet plugins folder and there they were! (I do wonder whether this problem will occur if a user of t...

In terminal do:

Code: Select all

open ~/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/
And see if there's anything Adobe-looking in there.
I did; it opened the Internet Plug-Ins window; no Adobe items. In fact, the only entry is "Dish Anywhere Player.plugin"!

Running each through replace " " with "%20" In all cases, LC9.5.1 on MacOS10.14.6 crashes. * The pro...

Re: URL specification change LC8.1 to LC9.x

Hi Klaus: I had mentioned in an earlier post that when I opened https://www.adobe.com/support/products/enterprise/knowledgecenter/media/c4611_sample_explain.pdf in Safari, copied the URL and pasted it in the URL field of the browser widget, and changed from edit to run mode, LC crashed. Does that ha...

Re: URL specification change LC8.1 to LC9.x

Hi Klaus:
When move the cursor to the bottom of the screen in Safari (with pdf file open),
the image with 4 options pops up (see attached). So, it is not Acrobat.

Re: URL specification change LC8.1 to LC9.x

do not use: ... ## put URLendcode(it) into tTemp ## Try with: replace SPACE with "%20" in tTemp ... These are different! Klaus: I can do that, but URL has no spaces (the filename is A101.pdf and I take care not to use any spaces in my folder names). What happens if you open that PDF right in SAFARI...

Re: URL specification change LC8.1 to LC9.x

Here's something else: 1. Most of the files on my Mac are in iCloud Drive (local drive that is backed up in iCloud). I had specifically created a folder *outside* of iCloud drive for keeping documents that I was using in my LiveCode app. Accessing these pdf documents is what is crashing LC. 2. I cop...
