Many are losing their ability to maintain internal apps, others are losing their ability to make at least a part of their living. I would not characterize that as cat in-fighting. On Jul 29, 2024, at 2:09 PM, Sean Cole via use-livecode wrote: once the cat in-fighting has gone away. _

Re: use-livecode Digest, Vol 250, Issue 1

I don’t see how that would be faster. You are adding string processing overhead, not reducing it. Arrays work well because you already have an index of sorts (the keys of the array). On Jul 27, 2024, at 5:01 AM, David V Glasgow via use-livecode wrote: I have long intended to see if I can sp

Re: The story so far

Concerning hosting, in my case when I initially developed the database for my application, it was hosted on the Livecode servers. When the owner of the company found out he had me take it down because he didn’t want company data on servers he did not own / control. That is probably going to be a

Because Kevin’s response to me in this exact scenario where I develop apps myself with I license I pay for myself, but employees of the company I work for use the app for business purposes, was that I have to pay for each user that uses my app. It is a commercial app because it is used in the wo

Re: Lockscreen and progress bar

Try wait 1 millisecond with messages then lock screen again. But I have run into this issue where even when I pause execution by some means the screen does not update. I find the whole process unreliable, and by the way when you lock the screen then do something with a datagrid, the screen gets

Re: Lockscreen and progress bar

The solution I came up with was a standalone that I could send messages to. I called it Spinner because I wanted to show a dialog that displayed a message and a spinning graphic while Livecode was processing handlers. I could send commands to show itself, hide itself, display a message and activ

Re: I seem to have missed something

It’s water under the bridge, but in retrospect I think the proper way for Livecode to have structured their business was to have 3 products: Livecode Desktop, Livecode Mobile and Livecode Web. Each product should have maintained their own revenue stream unbound and unburdened by the other two. A

Re: Livecode Future

If that is true then I misunderstand the licensing model. My understanding is that every app I distribute for someone else to use is a “seat” as well as me the developer, another seat. I have 3 “seats” at present including myself, all are internal users to the company I work for, but the company
