I wish LiveCode, Ltd would add a counterpart to revLoadedStacks() called
revUnloadStack that would do ALL the steps needed to really
close and remove a stack from memory
i.e it would set destroyStack to true, cantDelete to false, detect if it
was the stack containing the running script and if so,
It's the stacks in the STANDALONE that are still open I believe. I think this
because at one point there was an LC version that was confusing the source
stack and the standalone stack, and as a result it was overwriting my
stackfiles in the source stack with the locations of the standalone files
Actually, I can only tell Acrobat on a Mac to export the form data to a file,
and only because Acrobat responds to Applescript, and Applescript can tell
Acrobat to run a javascript. I researched a while back on how I could do this
with Windows, and the upshot is you cannot without compiling some
I was thinking about the statement that we rarely kill trees to read anymore,
but I think that we do. Decent paper cannot be recycled paper, at least from
the perspective of copiers and other printers in general. Pushing recycled
paper through a copier can cause all kinds of problems from excess
Enjoying the discussion and your well thought out views Richard!
FWIW, I'm pretty sure a friend of mine made a system for conversion of existing
pubs to EPubs a few years back. And I think it was all (mostly?) done in LC.
The system is described here (unfortunately only in German currently):

I think I remember that someone on this list is using agile development
successfully with LC projects. Is that right? I have some questions
about it.

NEVER MIND
"Delete stack" is the answer. I should have known. I just wasn't
associating "Delete" with "removing from memory"

I know this has been discussed before, so my apologies that my Google-Fu
has failed to find any prior answer.
I have a complex script - part of an Installer "maker" written in
LiveCode - that creates stacks and builds them into Standalones for
various platforms via a long automated script. After t

Andre's Facebook library still works, but was a bear to track down
about 2 years ago when I bought and implemented it. It seems other
than references in the Wayback Machine, this library has vanished from

Yes, updating tooling is key for adoption.

That is pretty funny.
But, most of our clients in the K12 market fax their POs to us. Luckily, eFax
solutions are bountiful. My guess is that they are sending the fax from a
software package as well. Why not just use email is the transmission
technology? Some are getting there. Others have not
Hi Peter,
The short answer is ‘no’. The longer version would be ‘nope’.
There is some hope though. Tangentially, we have been working directly with the
LC team on video mirroring. Trying to get his working, we also tried to find a
common format that worked for both Mac and Win. We found that i

Document Management systems use PDFs almost exclusively. I think PDF is here to
stay.

I downloaded the tools for Mac OS and followed the instructions in the README
file. This does not work. The tools are not accessible from the terminal. The
man and etc folders did not exist yet so I created them, but it leads me to

As a workaround, making it a system window, then immediately making it a
topLevel window should get around your issue. Not sure why it behaves the way
it does. Going to a stack should make the stack the topStack, and only other
stacks set as modal or system windows would override that behavior.

You may need to think again.

POSTing images etc to FB?
