Thank you! I will definitely read it. Right now I am reading files in 5kb sections to EOF and I am reading 350 average size jpg’s in around 4 seconds. I will be doing some processing on the files but that will be done after everything else is as fast as I can get it. JB > On May 16, 2016, a

Not sure what "run the app remotely" means. Do you mean run in the VM? I have little experience with VMWare, but I have verified that apps I built as standalones work within Parallels, so unless the app is using some VM feature, like shared profiles, which is giving you problems, then there's no

All I can tell you is that I run Livecode in VMWare running Windows 7 and have never had a problem with it running. I run standalone builds of mine (both locally generated, and generated on the host system [Linux]) without a blink. Admittedly this does not happen every day as I don't use Windows

Re: LC 8 is great but

Instead of using specialFolderPath(“documents”) you could also use “specialFolderPath(“resources”). This will put your files in the same folder as your stack when developing, and in the engine folder when deploying the app. Remember to include the folder when you set the app up for deployment.

Hi all, There are great things in LC 8, especially the widget browser. But I don’t understand why some capabilities are not yet in LC engine. Why we can’t make a copy - paste in a text field in iOS and Android (using the clipboardData). LC team promises it since 2012. I develop apps for helping
