The Files Function borked?

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Hi all. 

In the message box I put: 

put the files of "/Users/bobsneidar/Downloads/“

It returns a short list: 

Forms.zip
temp.db
Forms Generator 8.livecode
Time Zones
File Transfer Error Log.txt
iCalendar Sample with Attachment.ics
.DS_Store
Forms Generator 8 Crash Log.txt
Data Import.livecode
iCalendar Sample.ics
Vendors.livecode
snapshot.png
Old Copier Settings.txt
Paypal Encryption Technique.txt
DictionarySplitter_0_4.livecode
Software.livecode
Splash.livecode
Time Calculator.livecode
test.txt
iCalendar Sample with Attachment.ics.zip
20231213-Check Request.pdf
Refactor ProcessData.txt
tempdatabase.db
Time Zones.xlsx

That is only a fraction of the files in that folder. Whaaa???

Yeah I'm getting the same thing; if you use the "old" way, it works properly:

put the directory into tOldDir
set the directory to "/Users/bobsneidar/Downloads/"
put the files
set the directory to tOldDir

Interestingly, the function form works as well.

What would really be handy is a way to get the detailed file information for a 
single file. There is a use case where there may be many thousands of files in 
a directory, and enumerating the detailed files then filtering for the one you 
want seems onerous and probably time consuming. 

I throught about rolling my own, but then when doing this for Windows and using 
the shell command I keep getting “file not found.” 

answer file "Select file"  put it into tFileName
put "dir /T:W "  & quote & tFileName & quote into tCmd
put shell(tCmd)

I doubt it but is there a command in Livecode to get the mod date of a file?

Re: Help with Linux app built with LC on Mac

[Paul - Livecode via use-livecode]

Just a quick follow up for anyone following or interested in this issue. 
Apparently the problem is caused by Parallels on Apple M series devices are 
running Linux on an ARM platform, so there is no emulator for the x86 commands, 
it is just a processor compatibility issue. Linux on ARM is a relatively new 
concept, it may improve in the future, but who knows?
There’s no easy answer (for me at least), I tried installing some suggested ARM 
compatibility software, but either my lack of understanding of Linux, or their 
inability to rum LC standalones left me with no resolution, so it’s back to 
testing on an older Intel Mac with Parallels and Linux for now.
