No worries at all: it did, after all, give me a wonderful chance to tease you a bit. Bulgaria is not a 3rd world state: it is a bit "ragged at the edges," but no more than a lot of other countries. If you want to make "big moolah" it isn't the place to be: but one can lead a perfectly decent

identifying macOS folders that are considered to be files?

Is there any way for LiveCode to tell me that a macOS folder that gets listed with “the folders” is actually treated as a file? For example, .app is a file where View Package Contents is an option but the OS treats it as a single thing. Same with .numbers, .pages, and various other “files”. They

Not so. You *could* get a 32 bit version of these OS. In fact if you were upgrading from a 32 bit Win 7 you HAD to upgrade to the 32 bit version of 8, and in like manner, from 8 to 10. The only way to go to 64 bit was to buy a NEW license of those OS, and do a clean install. You could not upgrad

Not sure what you mean. Are you talking about 32 bit vs. 64 bit? Apple only began supporting 64 bit OS in 2006 when they began to use the Intel chipset. In 2011 the OS was exclusively 64 bit throughout, but has continued to run 32 bit apps until Mojave. Mojave is the last Mac OS that will suppor

Hi Richmond, 1. Yes 2. Every 64-bit Windows is able to run 64-bit apps, but also 32-bit apps, but not vice versa. 64-bit Windows versions do not prefer 64-bit apps, but there might be reasons (e.g. memory, performance) where it would be better to use the 64-bit version of an app. It depends on
