Thanks Jim, Since you aren’t having the problem I tried a couple of other things. First, I had been dragging the file to the Livecode icon in the dock, so I tried opening it through the menu as you had done but I still get a file is not a stack message. I then shut my whole system down and trie

Re: [Blog] Script Only Stacks

That is indeed the use case I used to justify the inclusion of the property when I contributed it. The other one was a quick way to convert an existing stack to scriptOnly without copy and paste. There was some discussion if we should add the property due to the risks to stack content when setti

I know I have discussed this with Mark Waddingham before. I believe he was originally thinking of allowing other encodings at some point but was not averse to my suggestion of only supporting UTF8 with or without BOM. Sent from my iPhone > On 4 Mar 2016, at 6:17 AM, Tim Bleiler wrote: > > I g

I think TextWrangler is a better choice than TextEdit for this purpose. In textWrangler you can specify both UTF 16 and Unix line endings. Tore > 3. mar. 2016 kl. 19.57 skrev Tim Bleiler : > > > >> On Mar 3, 2016, at 1:38 PM, Richard Gaskin >> wrote: >> >> I wonder if it needs to use LC's n
