Re: where can I learn about macOS app Help menu Search menu item?

Here’s the link to the Apple Dev page for help view files https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/ProvidingUserAssitAppleHelp/authoring_help/authoring_help_book.html Once you apply this with your app it is searchable along with menu items. Sean Cole Pi Digita

Re: iOS Policies

I’ve seen similar issues if you add in awards, such as “Best App in Google Play”. Pretty sure Amazon are similar about promoting other apps stores, and even Google apps go through a review process. You wouldn’t dream of putting “Support for iOS 12 and iPhone X” in your Android submissions, thou

Re: Array editing or Validate JSON string?

When I needed to check JSON validation, I put the JSONToArray function inside a "try" structure. The catch clause will trigger and tell you there's an error. It isn't too much different than what the editor does but It can give you a clue. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com H

Re: Array editing or Validate JSON string?

Bob, Tnx for the info. However, isn’t it reasonable that the LC conversion should respond with some indication that it can’t do the JSON to array conversion, rather than throw a script error? Bill William Prothero http://es.earthednet.org > On Nov 18, 2018, at 6:18 AM, bob--- via use-livecode

bignum math library

I've created bignum libraries in the past, but never organized it or did all four operators. So I started with earlier versions of some of the functions, optimized, corrected, and extended, and here it is: https://github.com/gcanyon/bignum It includes functions for addition, subtraction, multiplic

Re: Stack Height/Menubar

Scripts can move locked controls, so you won't have to worry about that. If the groups are shared (background groups) their content will move with them and the script won't touch those buttons. It will also move card groups, so you may need to check for the content controls in that case. You w

Hi Jacqueline, Thanks for pointing out this routine. I have some modifications I need to make to it though. I have to check to see if any items are locked, and unlock them before changing the location and then re-lock them after the change. The number of controls also includes groups which

That´s the way i am doing it with the complete script, not only with confidential data. Most of my scripts in public web root just contain an include command e.g. The included file, which is stored outside the public web area then contains the complete script. So in any case the Livecode Serv

Re: Array editing or Validate JSON string?

Livecode provides a text editor to, well, edit text. It does not understand the syntax/grammar of languages (Livecode, HTML, Javascript, JSON, YML, etc). What you need is an editor that “knows" JSON. Your best bet is to copy the text into Sublime, Visual Studio Code or Atom which do understand

You can also put your LC scripts outside the public web root, then include them in a calling LC script for extra security. - Andy Piddock My software never has bugs. It just develops random features. TinyIDE a Free alternative minimalist IDE Plugin for LiveCode Script editor Themer
