Re: inter-app communication to LiveCode?

Peter, I’m not sure about “linking” but I have an app that creates PDFs and then appears to “edit” them later. The hack I use is to include all the information (In this case it is a relatively small amount) needed to recreate the PDF as meta-data when I originally create the PDF. If you were cr

Re: Print to PDF on Android?

Hello Dan, Hello Dan, For Android PDF creation I use Jan Schenkel’s Quartum PDF Library. It isn’t an ideal (or even possible) solution in many cases because it doesn’t support unicode but in my case that wasn’t a deal breaker. -- Scott Morrow Elementary Software

inter-app communication to LiveCode?

Hi, A user asked about “linking” to my desktop LC app from a PDF. Is there anything in the PDF spec that does this? His idea was that it the link would do more than just opening up my app, but contain data that indicates a specified “page” in my app. My application is Mac/Windows. Peter Bogd

Thanks Mark. Tried 9.0.4 but the issue persists. Saved in a legacy format and opened in LC 6.5 and I can access the property inspector there… Then open again in 9.0.4 but still no joy. Marty > On Sep 19, 2019, at 2:01 PM, Mark Wieder via use-livecode > wrote: > > On 9/19/19 10:05 AM, Marty K

You can't even print to paper, and i need that. It's 2019 and Android 9/10 and it was already possible(not lc) in Android 4.4.2 if not earlier. Only direct solution now is recreate the app in Android Studio using Java or Kotlin. For paper is a bug report available on the quality site. Op

Anybody had this happen - I have an older LC stack that works fine and in LC 9.5 I can edit the script of all the controls, but when I try to open the property inspector it will show the name of the object at the top of the inspector window but is says "no object selected" The only exception is

Re: Guess encoding for text file...

UTF-16 and UTF-32 are not needed in your list. Those are BE unless indicated otherwise by a leading BOM. That is, the BE and LE versions are sufficient. ASCII encoding is a subset of CP1252, MacRoman and UTF-8, so that can be classified as UTF-8 if there is no advantage to knowing that it is AS
