Dave, I did a quick write up in regards to using the newer Xcode to create Mac OS X externals and I will add more to it when I have time..

Thank you, unfortunately when I use this command to see the external, it's not listed: put the externalPackages of stack "home"
Maybe I'm wrong the text of the file Externals.txt:
Code: Select all
ShowAnimationEffect,ShowAnimationEffect.bundle

It might not show up in that command, but just try using the command in the external and it should work (if installed correctly)..

Hi Sean
I'd encourage you to put these up on GitHub if they are public domain/FOSS. The more LiveCode based projects we can have up there the better. Also as externals are so poorly documented the more examples the better.
Cheers
Monte

Hi friends,
maybe one (definitively not me!) could create a "collection" (= all externals in ONE external file)
from these cool sepearate externals?
Best

Originally they were all in one big external, just thought it might be easier for people to just have everything broken down in to externals that served a single purpose (just use what you need, no bloat

)
