I did not need a new ID or password to upload a large file to Sage yesterday. That was with the FTP app called “Transmit.” I just changed the server name that Transmit would upload to from pancake.on-rev.com to sage.on-rev.com and it worked

I think you should be able to use uniDecode to convert the filename string to its Unicode equivalent. Pete lcSQL Software Home of lcStackBrowser and SQLiteAdmin On Wed, May 6, 2015 at 4:08 PM

Unicode in file paths...

I am trying to simply prompt for a movie file and set the filename of a player to that filespec. Essentially: answer file "Pick a movie:" set the fileName of player 1 to shortFilePath(it) If I have a movie file, say video.mov in a folder with Unicode characters, say "Κάποια έρευνα" (Greek), the a

Re: Naive question number 3374

The brush tool requires you to specify a brush image to use ('the brush' property I think...) - it's an 'alternative' approach to drawing a thick line which isn't the same as the pencil or line tool ;) Mark. Sent from my iPhone > On 6 May 2015, at 20:25, Richmond wrote: > >> On 06/05/15 22:1

Normalisation, folding and collation all require a fair bit of data to do (proportional to the size of the current iteration of the unicode character tables in fact) which will be why SQLite externalises such functions as hooks. It might be we can hook this up to the routines in the engine thoug

Interesting, thanks Mark. In case any database developers are interested, it seems that the SQLite upper() and lower() functions only work with ASCII characters as does COLLATE NOCASE so at least Livecode is ahead of SQLite. It is possible to write your own collation handlers for SQLite but would
