Re: What the heck? Writing and reading ios files??

JB, Thanks for the comment. Yes, I went back to my previous use of “_” in the file name. All is working now. It was the difference between “l” and “L” in a file name. Sheesh! Bill William Prothero https://earthlearningsolutions.org > On Jun 25, 2020, at 2:27 PM, JB via use-livecode > wrote: >

Re: Chromebook apps?

Thanks for the info, folks! I don’t see anything that would draw me to Chromebooks. Seems it’s another world. Too bad. Education really needs good apps at all levels and chromebooks are a bright target. EST, Bill William Prothero https://earthlearningsolutions.org > On Jun 22, 2020, at 2:02 P

Re: Set Line color in dG?

Zryp, Crap, accidentally sent the response without finishing. I was checking that the code in my test button was actually talking to the datagrid in question, and it returned the correct values, so I assumed it was. I don’t understand how “myBtn” would participate. I need to change colors from

Re: Set Line color in dG?

Zryp, What I wanted to do is make a distinction between data that was retrieved from a database and data that was entered but not yet stored. A datagrid is. Way overkill for what I’m doing, but the button that accesses the datagrid data to get the specific line is for testing only. Willia

Re: Map Widget - how does it actually work?

Graham, My demo stack was enhanced a lot by Hermann but I don’t know where it is, after a cursory search. He added a bunch of other capabilities, but I felt a quick look at the Google map docs would make it easy to add them. His expanded version may be in the examples repository. I didn’t check

Re: Sad truth about iOS apps

Graham, You may be able to find a used Mac that will run Catalina. My old MacBook Pro was one of the earliest that had 64 bit processor, but when it’s battery started interfering with the trackpad, I panicked and bought a new MacBook Pro. Then I took my old MacBook Pro to be fixed and it returne

Re: Has anyone experience of GPS on iPhone?

Graham, Mark’s comments make sense. Your quality test where you set the phone down in a fixed location and look at the results seems good also. If it can’t pass that test, nothing else will work. Best, Bill William Prothero https://earthlearningsolutions.org > On May 6, 2020, at 7:52 AM, Mark W
