AW: Umlaute get corrupted when transfering livecode from Win to Mac

Hi Malte, So you say corrupted standalone texts with umlauts are a "standard" behavior. But there must be any mechanism working behind the scenes which "tries" to avoid this, because it doesn't happen every time. From time to time they are not corrupted, but I can't reproduce it. By time I made it

Hi Tiemo, Umlauts break as soon as custom properties are involved. Custom properties are stored as binary, thus the automatic translation to a different charset do not happen. This causes problems with Umlauts in the standalone settings, as liveCode uses cProps to store those. It could explain

Whoops. Still not right. The line number has to go up twice as fast as the object number. This can be done with a separate loop variable or doing some math on the repeat loop variable. It might be easiest to count graphic objects and then calculate the lines as (2*i-1) and (2*i) Dar On M
