Since you're already passing -ui, try a later build - there was a release not long ago that would exit prematurely when run with the command line, since fixed. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http:/

Richard Gaskin has some advice, perhaps a year ago, on this list. I’m hoping to be trying that tonight. Well, maybe in the morning. A signal 10 is a bus error. If you are lucky, it is just accessing some GUI when there is none. Just take that out. Maybe you need to quit before the end of

I would like to run an existing lc standalone from the command line, passing it parameters that will determine what it should do. Searched the list archives and found that I can reference $1, $2, etc to get the parameters and that works just fine. I would also like the app to not display its main

I've put an example offending field at http://dochawkbk.com/badcopy.livecode When I copy groups from one card to another, some of them consistently lose formatting information. Here, for example, if you click the button in the mcp window, it will copy the group, but the "Case Number" field goes f
