Re: Lion vs Mtn Lion

Hi, Keep in mind that support returns the user's application support folder, while asup returns the system's application support folder. The user may have no permissions to write to the latter. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: ht

Scott and Monte, I am using LC 5.5.4 and downloaded LC and my stack on my Wifes 10.7.5 and built from there too with LC 5.5.4 LC runs on it but the built app still does not work. It seems to be writing the files to the correct place there as on my machine, but I will check again. I was using t

It was only introduced in LC 5.5.3 RC2... Are you using the same LC version on Lion? Ave you tried asup? On 15/03/2013, at 9:58 AM, Thomas McGrath III wrote: > As many are aware, I have an app with a key trapper that I hired out to > write. I am making heavy use of open, read, close and put URL

Re: Lion vs Mtn Lion

Tom: Which version of LiveCode? Are you getting a result using "support" as an argument in specialFolderPath? In 5.5.1 that's not a "built-in" option. I'm on Lion and using "support" in 5.5.1 returns empty (no path), but 5.5.4 seems to work. Also, if you're using URL to write an empty file, can

As many are aware, I have an app with a key trapper that I hired out to write. I am making heavy use of open, read, close and put URL file: and also I am using specialFolderPath("Support"). Any way i am having a lot of trouble getting this to work on OSX 10.7.2 & on OSX 10.7.5 But it is working

Thinking about this more, I think this is a bug. Removing the stack from memory is fine, just needs to be clearer that's what happens, but not sending a closeStack message seems wrong. Pete lcSQL Software On Mon, Mar 11, 2013 at 11:18 AM, Peter Haworth wrote: > I found t

I would do the calc once. I would make the last one default just in case the calc provides you with something funky. Kee __put sin(pAngleInRadians) into sinCalc __switch case sinCalc > 0 __put 1 into tX __break case sinCalc = 0 __put 0 into tX __break default __put

Re: Alternative To A Specific Switch Statement

I have to agree it's pretty readable right now. If you *really* want a shorter, less readable, way, try put sin(pAngleInRadians) into tX if tX <> 0 then divide tX by abs(tX) -- Alex. On 14/03/2013 17:56, dunb...@aol.com wrote: Hi. This is a pretty tight switch construct, of a typical

Re: Effective htmltext

No catch at all, the docs are quite well written in this regard: effective [keyword] Use the effective keyword to get the displayed color or font of an object, regardless of whether the object itself has that property set. The effective keyword can also be used to get the filename of a substack o
