Re: Plain text library stacks

Hi Thierry Thanks for the suggestion. Actually, I wasn’t thinking of Monte’s lcVCS. As I remember, the post that I saw suggested you could create a library stack in a text editor and then load it into LiveCode. Kind regards Peter > On 23 Apr 2015, at 13:45, Thierry Douez wrote: > > Hi

Fwd: Plain text library stacks

I remember reading a message to the effect that one of the recent releases to the LiveCode engine included an enhancement to load “plain text” library stacks. I searched the forum and clicked relevant threads without being able to find the post that I remember. Is it possible to load a Library

Android Intents/iOS Extensions?

I'd like to have an app be able to accept data from other programs, like when you click the Share button in an image gallery and a list of programs pops up that can accept images - I'd like mine to be among them. I can see from the iOS and Android docs how to register that support in the manif

Hi Tiemo, How many levels deep are the array elements you want to search? How many words might each of the searchable array elements contain? How is the array keyed - by sequential number, a preassigned numeric ID, a content description, ...? Would it be worth your time when loading the prim

Re: fastes way to search an array?

I think this all underscores what I have been saying for some time, that there needs to be search/sort functionality for arrays built into the engine. Sure it can be done procedurally but the engine would handle it so much faster. I should submit a feature request or vote for an existing one.

Re: Stack is Dirty?

I believe it's the global array property gRevStackStatus which is keyed by short stack name. However, not all changes to the stack result in it being marked dirty in gRevStackStatus as I discovered recently. For example, deleting a stack by script does not not result in it being marked as dirty.

Hi Rick, On my new and fast development machine the search is pretty fast and optimization wouldn't be necessary. But I am not sure, how it behaves on old and weak computers out there in the wild. Perhaps I have to reactivate one of my old ones for testing. Splitting into alphabetical parts is i

One way to do this would be combine the array (or maintain a duplicate copy) and use the filter command to do the search. On Wed, Apr 22, 2015 at 8:44 AM, Rick Harrison wrote: > Hi Tiemo, > > What is the average and worst time that it takes to search your 20,000 > record array now? > Are there u

Hi Tiemo, What is the average and worst time that it takes to search your 20,000 record array now? Are there users other than you involved? Is it worth the time it will take you to optimize the code for the faster execution? Now that you’ve hopefully answered these questions for yourself, and
