Andy, I'm sorry, I can't use Variable Monitor. It took the already sluggish debugger and then made it glacial. It took me a couple minutes before I could even get LC to quit so I could restart.
Now my issue is that LC won't even deign to open the script editor window. I'm reinstalling LC as we speak.
Recently it feels like I've spent more of my time battling LiveCode than actually doing any development.
Update: Reinstalling didn't work. IDE is unusable now, about to start another thread on that subject. (sigh)
Second update: Now I can't even *Quit* the app! @#$@!
Hmmm... I have seen no slow down on both may computers here, both running Win 10 64.
It sounds like you may have some corruption in Livecode's preferences file ..this is a well know general problem that can result in various odd and often intermittent problems. Make a backup of the preferences file and then delete the original.
Please be aware that any preferences you have set such as mobile paths and plugin path will have to be re-entered again in Preferences... so make a note of these.
The location of the preferences file depends on which OS you are using, an easy way to find it's location is to use one of Livecode's environment variables. Open the Message Box and copy this then hit return.
Code: Select all
put revEnvironmentUserPreferencesPath()
record the file location returned.
SHUT DOWN LIVECODE
You will see in the folder returned above
livecode7.rev this is the Livecode preferences file delete this.
When you restart Livecode this file will be recreated.
Let us know how you get on.
