[ANN] lcTaskList 1.2 the Task List Plugin for LiveCode

I've released a minor update to the task list plugin for LiveCode's IDE (and it works with GLX2 too!). This plugin will help you organize your code and remember what you are working on. I think it is a useful tool for everyone who uses LiveCode. LcTaskList is available for purchase for only $10

problem using libURL on server?

I've used libURL with the CGI engine in the past and it's worked well, but today I'm trying to use it and it just hangs. If I comment out the "get url" comment in my script the rest works fine, but the one line that tries to post data to another server fails. Anyone else run into this? -- R

Hi Monte… How accurate would the location location external identification be? If for example I was on a school campus, could it distinguish between classrooms? Or if I was at a conference, between meeting rooms? Just thinking out loud… Thank you! On Nov 15, 2012, at 3:10 PM, Monte Goulding

Thierry, Sorry I missed this in your email. Yes there is a problem with the arrow key navigation. They only work when you have the browse tool selected. In fact it's worse than that because if you select a control in lcStackBrowser and it is on an open card, the control is selected in the IDE.
