multiple crashes with OS 10.8.4 and 6.0.2 community

I've experienced half a dozen crashes in the past hour or two with the same stack. I haven't yet had a chance to investigate the possibility of similar problems on other stacks. It's a very simple and ordinary stack, except that it has about 1600 cards. I store a lot of text in this stack. Mos

Re: LiveCode and Sleep/Hibernation

Hi Dar, On a contrasting note, long ago I discovered that a sleeping HD can be awakened by getting "the detailed files" from one of its directories. I thought it was pretty cool you could do that, since I needed that particular capability at the time. Don't know if it still works that way.

LiveCode and Sleep/Hibernation

I was wonder what kinds of issues and problems (if any) people have found with LiveCode applications and the computer going to sleep (or put into hibernation). Including I/O and shell(). Time updates after sleep. Anything. I'm going to be doing some tests and I want to catch these things. D

The easiest way to try to do this (i.e. enforcing referential integrity, maintain related tables, etc.), is to use triggers. You have to tell the DB what to do. Even RDBMS's (4D is one I use all the time that comes to mind) can't read your mind, but if you write triggers/stored procedures/etc., i
