Re: Some problems with an old stack that gets regular updates

The ability to preserve the original stack file version is a setting in Preferences. I have that turned on too. You can either turn it off, or override it in the Save dialog by choosing a version from the pop up button at the bottom of the dialog. I also looked at system prefs when trying to r

Accessing files on a local network file server - BEST PRACTICE?

This question may have an obvious answer, but I am brain dead today, so here goes: I have a app installed with some customers in a Windows network environment. They have all their laptops set so that their Home directories are on a local network server. So, where as on a local laptop, specia

Re: Some problems with an old stack that gets regular updates

Jacque, thanks for your answer. I tried 'Save As' already, but interestingly the value of the stackfileversion property remains unchanged. I've tried all variations. Including tsNet and Internet, only tsNet and also just Internet after disabling tsNet using dispatch "revunloadlibrary" to s

Re: use-livecode Digest, Vol 204, Issue 24

Thanks for the tip. I did file a request but it lists as a bug not an enhancement. Maybe I did something wrong, sorry about that. Posted as # 22919 I think it is mostly just allowing a selectable host IP or FQDN. Many third party object stores with S3 compatibility also default to Region: us-east

Back to School: Raspberry Pi fork?

I had yet another conversation this morning with a colleague who would love to use LC in his school district, but the two crasher bugs prevent him from doing so. Now he's had no choice but to start looking into kid-friendly Python environments. We have that conversation every year. This was t

Re: Converting from unicode to ASCII

That's what I was hoping for when I started this thread, and it was suggested (without the ID) a while back, but then I'd need another lookup table. Probably one for each language. My original goal was to get the canonical version directly from LC somehow. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyp

Re: Converting from unicode to ASCII

You could even decide that, rather than strip out non-ascii characters, you would convert (reduce?) each one to a canonical equivalent (where there is one), and hence instead of l’Académie française---> lAcadmiefranaise_1234.livecode it would become l’Académie française---> lAcademi

Re: Converting from unicode to ASCII

That's what I was thinking. So the filename for " l’Académie française" might becomes something like lAcadmiefranaise_1234.livecode. Kind of readable, but guaranteed unique. (And also allows identifying the database record from the filename if that is needed.) (Apologies if this appears twic

Re: Converting from unicode to ASCII

I'm pretty sure each record has an ID. This would be for ensuring unique file names, right? -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On September 24, 2020 2:00:50 AM Dave Cragg via use-livecode wrote: Jacqueline, You said earl

Re: Some problems with an old stack that gets regular updates

I haven't had the internet problem but I went a whole year once where I couldn't get remote debugging to work. I never did figure out why. Then it started to work again by itself. I never thought to check the stack file version. You could Save As with the latest LC version and see if that helps.

Re: Converting from unicode to ASCII

It's all automated already except for the uploading. The file organization on AWS is complex and the stacks don't all go in the same place. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On September 23, 2020 4:53:36 PM Richard Gaskin via

Re: Converting from unicode to ASCII

Jacqueline, You said earlier you don't have a field in the database for the file name. But does the database table have a unique numerical ID field for each record? If so, could you strip out the non-ASCII characters and then append the numerical ID to the file name? > On 23 Sep 2020, at 20:
