Why? On a LiveCode list you have to ask why? :)

Good question! Might be a good reason, but not much point in guessing.
The bigger question is: what was the true original problem?

I've worked in the printing industry for 30+ years now. What you're
talking about is called page impositions, and it sounds like you're

also do a work-and-turn instead (flip the pile on the "landscape"
side, instead of portrait sid
Good rules in general, but my question was about something else entirely.
As for the IDE, it's a GUI; I'm not sure what could be done with it on a
headless system. (Yes, instructions are provided for sys admins to
automate *installing* it via command line -- great for computer labs and
such -
My simple rule on this is:
If I need to write code, use the IDE.
If I need to deploy code, use a standalone.
You get the best possible performance. They are flexible since you can
dynamically load code. They do not have the burden of the IDE. It seems the
right path to go.
Maybe there is a r
If the goal were point-scoring gotchas, that I frequently advocate
industry best practices for security redundancy might indeed seem out of
place here. I am normally a belt-and-suspenders kinda guy, and I make no
apologies for it.
Those redundancies usually come up in discussions about exposin

LC Server doesn't handle externals, so for that we need a standalone?
I think I'm missing something.

Different approach: I prefer "mod" for loop breakouts/pitstops.
Very clean way to determine action for certain loop iterations!
Useful for fractional values too, in LC versions thus far.

You can easily set the numberformat

Hi list,
This might sound like a dumb question, but I'm scratching my head trying
to find a workaround.
I have this portion of script :
set numberformat to "#.000"
if myvar = trunc(myvar) then
get myarray[myvar]
end if
The problem seems to be that when numberformat is set, both tru

On a Mac, I made a field with 25000 words or so. Certainly dragging the
thumb is jerky.
But dragging the thumb forces the field's scroll to track the thumbPos, as
it relates to the number of lines and the total "pixel" travel available to
that thumb. I don't see how a field could scroll smoothly

Thanks Mark. The issue here is that the stack was running headless, not in the
IDE. But I had it write the externals to stdout and indeed the result was
empty, so then I resaved it with the embedded property... etc. But this is
moot given other-Mark's message.
