[OT] upgrading Linux to 64 bit

I have been running an Ubuntu derivative 32 bit distro for some years now, and should like to upgrade to a 64 bit version. My hard drive is partitioned so that my /Home stuff is on a different partition to the Boot folder and so on. Can I "just" install a 64 bit version via the "something els

LC Builder for sleepy types?

Like me! Is there any way to convert small LC scripts into the LC Builder language? While the LC 8 DPs provide "a first look at LiveCode’s new “LiveCode Builder” language", there is no comprehensive guide to LC Builder . . . . . . is there something like this lurking on a computer up at the

Re: Image IDs

Thanks Rick. Problem is, if I want to define an icon for a button, for example, I can only use a simple image ID. For a time I was setting the button icons to the name of an image on startup as you suggested but there's still confusion in my mind as to whether the resulting image ID might resolve

Re: Image IDs

Hi Pete, Why don’t you create your own names for referring to your images. You can call them something like PeteImage123001 - PeteImage88999. Then you don’t have to concern yourself with image ID’s. You can do the same with the button you create as well. I hope that works for you so you don’t h

Image IDs

I'm trying to wrap my head around how LC resolves references to image IDs when used as button icons or in the imageSource property. My fist confusion comes from the dictionary entry for the ID property. It lists ranges of image IDs that are reserved for specific purposes. The range 200,000-299,9
