lock and unlock files from script? - Mac options
Hi Gang, Barncard lurking here. I want to lock and unlock files from script on Mac. Currently on Livecode 7.1.2 I know there are various lock modes - I just want the one that users can turn off and on using the 'get info' dialog. I tried cobbling an Applescript method but got an 'execution error'. I tried to modify the Applescript that opens folders. I'd be happy with an Applescript solution or something using the Shell. faster would be better. thanks for any help. stephen. Stephen Barncard - Sebastopol Ca.

Yes, as the warning messages on my Dreamhost indicate when one creates a domain based email address, if you send an email with your own domain from Gmail, it may not show up in your INBOX, but will show up in ALL MAIL and SENT MAIL. This is a Gmail feature to reduce clutter. If it ain't working you'll get the bounce in your inbox. Stephen Barncard - Sebastopol Ca.

Re: DataGrid
Thanks guys. Both Scott Rossi's solution and Bernd's were really well done. In the end I chose modTableField which does everything I want... (and was about to go through the pain of creating...) This thing is FAST and really well designed. Thank you Bernd! Scott's has a beautiful UI but Bernd's will require few changes by me. I'm working with exported Filemaker tabbed data... and my previous data format using the datagrid used the same format: headers on first line, tab delimited, return delimited records, with returns in fields turned into linefeeds (or is it vertical tabs?), just like Filemaker exports I went a bit further with my own text file 'standard' , putting a tab delimited line at the bottom holding column widths which get set on load. Easy to add. But again Bernd's auto-sizing really works fine and I may not do that. A quick question about Filemaker 12 text Exports - why doesn't FM provide an option to add field names to the first line on export to CSV (which is a misnomer as I use the tab option)?? I have to add the field names manually to the resultant text file. Odd because other export options like 'merge' DO add field names. Is this a bug in Filemaker? I'm exporting data out of Filemaker because I'm doing a tape archive and need to do things like a multiple non-contiguous search of all records from a dialog box and FM won't do that. I also need to clean up some Unicode crapola that didn't get translated. Then I need to import the whole mess back into Filemaker (which does accept first line field headers..!!) -- although this solution is so good it may end up being the final database...

Re: DataGrid
Ah, one more thing...I'm sure we've been here before on this forum but I've been away from LC for a while. The 'unicode crapola' issue seems to show up in text files imported from Filemaker. These text files look fine in Textmate, but I always see this distortion when imported into a livecode field. I see this in my own stack creations and modTableField as well. I think the major problem is the 'fancier' versions of the Quote characters and the apostrophe, although there might be other characters. I guess I have to "filter" the input. Is there a function that 'simplify' or 'stupify' the text to look right in LC? Or do I have to search and replace 'certain' ones to fix the problem. Sorry if this has been covered a multitude of times... I have to re-import the text back into Filemaker at some point so it has to work round-trip. thanks sqb On Thu, Feb 25, 2016 at 4:06 PM, stephen barncard < stephenrevoluti...@barncard.com> wrote: > I'm exporting data out of Filemaker because I'm doing a tape archive and > need to do things like a multiple non-contiguous search of all records from > a dialog box and FM won't do that.

Re: Players in HTML5 - ETA for Full Functionality?
I don't understand why the OSS version won't work for you if it's a 'hobby' thing (a term that seems belittling to me). The Community version is NOT a 'weenie' or 'light' version - mainly it's the licensing and code protection that's different. It's pretty clear that either one is selling the result of your work or one is not... either / or. Up-to-date? The OSS versions are continually keeping up with all the improvements...and many come from the OSS community itself. So what's the beef? If one wants to be on the bleeding edge with LC... then one has to step up to the plate... but I doubt if you've mastered livecode to the point where you really need the paid versions if you are experimenting what can you not build?

Re: Fwd: LC / WordPress / CGI challenge
1. I wouldn't bother trying to do this simple task in PHP if I didn't have to... how about.. create a livecode server page with the rating/poll page and business logic since you said you could do that ... and easy to check and debug outside WP. and then use an IFRAME in the html to display your content. Yes, Livecode (server) working inside a WP page. everything shows from the Livecode server instance, including the CCS inside the 'view port'. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_iframe.asp 2. use the IP of the visitor (available in the globals) to assure uniqueness. Keep a list. and for a double check use a "been here before" cookie/flag specifically for this poll. someone clever could hack it but it probably wouldn't be worth it.

A DataGrid is not a spreadsheet
yes there is a lot of handy stuff in a datagrid, all designed to not make you have to re-invent the wheel. I've created a proof of concept stack I made for myself called 'quicksheet' that uses simple text files and tab separated fields to set up and display columnar data. The text format is simple - the first line is column names and the last line is column widths so when the text file is loaded everything is labeled and spaced according to the last save. Double clicking over a field will open an entry dialog where detailed multi-line data can be entered. Returns in a field are converted to Decimal 11, just like Filemaker. perhaps I should make it available, as is.. I'd have to document a few things.

Re: Play m4a files on Windows 7
OK hold on a minute. I sense some inaccurate reporting here time for me to step in... if one is comparing m4a to mp3, we have apples and oranges here. Comparing by rate numbers doesn't take into consideration the efficiency of m4a. It's not just for 'audiophiles' - that's a misconception. It's an improvement across the board, that can be used flexibly for many applications. 1. m4a codecs come in flavors. What m4a *codec* are you using? "Low Complexity or LC" creates the smallest, most compatible files. 2. m4a LC can use half the bit rate compared to mp3 for the same quality: 64k m4a LC compares or betters quality of 128k mp3 3. when it comes to converting, copying from one lossy format to another will ALWAYS degrade the audio, as opposed to WAV or AIF I've been working with audio compression for the web since the mid-90s, and have been in personal contact with one of the guys that invented the algorithms ... btw the Fraunhofer institute holds the patents on both mp3 and m4a sqb On Sat, Aug 13, 2016 at 4:03 PM, Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami < bra...@hindu.org> wrote: > We have had this m4a vs mp3 discussion in house for years… the m4a man > typically is an audiophile that uses settings that are entirely unnecessary > for average listener (we do a lot of voice)… sure, if it were orchestral > music… but it's not.

Re: Supercard 4.8 public beta

Re: Speech to Text...
My own opinion is that the speech to text field is still in flux but the gold standard is Dragon. Apple's tech got better with Siri, but she still screwed up a lot. Dragon 6's new tech with a LOT of AI can do a very high rate of accuracy with very little or NO training, and it seems to transcribe recorded speech very well, too. I will find out today if it is apple scriptable. Dragon 6 is the first version that I didn't give up on the first use. Methinks there are more than a few applications like OCR and Speech where it isn't worth the ROI to re-invent the market leader in some feature just for workflow convenience.. if Dragon leased, their code, that would be another thing, but I am pretty sure they are not and it was obvious from the first use is that it is very superior to anything I've ever used. And it's a bit of a dance to help it get it's hooks into the user's system. I could see from the quality of the app that they spent a lot of time developing this version. Beautiful work on Mac.

I would imagine is to make sure the editor you use has the correct text attributes and line termination values. When I use Coda or Textmate in conjunction with Transmit, double clicking a file in the FTP listing will launch the chosen editor, open the text in a page, and when one saves, it saves back to the file, wherever it is, and the FTP program keeps it all straight. I've edited stacks on a remote server and launched my local Livecode app this way too. Anyway, that was long winded. Make sure your editor puts out the right sentence termination characters.

Re: property inspector lock 2
I've noticed that inspector windows stack perfectly on top of each other, and the 'new' inspector falls directly on top of the locked one, giving the visual feedback of being replaced, when actually the locked one is behind the new one. Some UI designs make sure 'new' windows will be offset slightly, revealing the obfuscated window. Stephen Barncard - Sebastopol Ca.

But it also can be made to work with a fixed playlist: *file: "joni_on_first_album_Croz.m4v",image: "joni-cbc.png",* *title: "01 joni on first album Croz.m4v"* The JW player can be branded if you pay a little.

Re: Serving Videos with LC/iRev
Hi Rick, yes, yes, I know, I was plugging the player because it's so extensible and it uses a playlist, but there's ways to use Apache to allow local executables like livecode server (but not Joe Web User) to access directories ABOVE the website root from script. and if any 'address' would be revealed, it would still be useless information as it would be inaccessible from the web. I remember one of the first 'web apps' did this, it was called 'Gallery'. All the photos were stored in a special directory above web root for a site. I think the answer might be in here. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/urlmapping.html a htaccess file can do a lot of things, including allowing livecode server to run in cgi-bin, another web-inaccessible place. just throwing some things out there. I think the answer will be pretty simple.

Re: [OT] unhosing .rev and .livecode files
your drive was probably at some time used as a Torrent server source. Yes definitely delete all porn, don't even bother seeing if it contains illegal porn. Chances of child porn are very likely in a Torrent folder, and one has no idea where's it's from or been. In the US the son of a friend of mine was thrown in jail for 5 years by the feds and jailed as a sexual predator for what was on his hard drive. The federal prosecutor got the defendant's independent examination thrown out of court which would have proven his innocence and made it hard for him to defend himself. He's still there.

Livecode Server on Dreamhost fails in Ubuntu upgrade
Dreamhost has suddenly decided to 'upgrade' its OS to UBUNTU. So all of my sites that use Livecode server now fail with an error. I have been using the htaccess method for many years... This htaccess file used to allow both php and livecode to co-exist: Options +ExecCGI FollowSymLinks AddHandler livecode-script .lc .irev AddHandler php5-script php htm html DirectoryIndex index.irev index.lc index.html index.php dir.irev video.irev audio.irev gallery.irev ## index.php Action livecode-script /cgi-bin/livecode-server/livecode-community-server Now only php will work, and the above .htaccess file has to be removed for it to work. This appears to have something to do with using PHP-5.3 Does anyone have an idea how to get this to work ? thanks in advance. sqb *--* *Stephen Barncard - San Francisco Ca.

Re: Livecode Server on Dreamhost fails in Ubuntu upgrade
So the 64 bit version of Livecode Server works now, on my Livecode only sites. I'm still having problems with having PHP and LIVECODE being available at the same time with DH on Ubuntu. surely there must be some way to get old htaccess directives to work to retain the PHP.
