Bob, Cut, copy, paste & clear are available as commands in LC, so maybe simplifying your Edit menu a little may help, for example… --The following menuPick handler was generated by the Menu Builder (& simplified a little). on menuPick pWhich switch pWhich case "Preferences" --

Re: Scripting Cut/Copy/Paste in custom menus

Your suggestion, if it didn't break many stacks, would certainly slow them down. I mainly work with a Stack, a single card with anywhere between 10s to over a 100 fields, and a database. Going Next or Previous record populates those fields by using 'put' statements. Currently, even with 100+ field

Writing ID3 Tags to files

If you open any [*.aif, *.mp3,] file in iTunes, you go to the " info" tab and enter ID3 tags (artist, album, track, genre, year, etc) then when you switch to a different song you can see in the finder that the file is updated as the ID3 tags were written and saved transparently. Modification d

I read from the Dictionary under closeField: "The closeField message is not sent when a handler changes the field's contents using the put command.” May I submit that it ought to? An edited field is an edited field, and when it loses focus, if the contents are not what they were when it was open

Scripting Cut/Copy/Paste in custom menus

Hi all. As many know, creating a custom menu set on OS X (not sure about Windows) will typically add the File and Edit menus to your customer menu set. This has the net effect of *disabling* cut/copy/paste/clear. I can live with that, because I have scripted the necessary menus to mimic the beh

Sounds like you have a stray "put" with no target. Go into the script editor Find window, click "More", select Stack File in the "Look In" menu, click the Find Options and select "Regular Expression" in the Search method options, then type this in the FInd field: (?im)^(?!--)\s*put\s((?!(into|aft
