It's frustrating, having to choose between adoption-impairing excessive resource usage, or adoption-impairing usability issues raised by the setup complexity of the workaround (custom font config file). I may be able to help with the workaround, writing a script to set that up. But I'm findin

Re: Commands on server and lack of examples

Thanks for looking into this, Brian. My understanding of the team's approval of this IF addition is that anyone adding "-f" to their call invoking a faceless LC engine assumes responsibility if that breaks anything else they try to invoke later. Down the road, the team would like to use "lazy

Hi Erik, yes i've been busy with that, read most pages,but i can't get my head around it. So i guess it's not quite for me, although it has very much potential. Thanks a lot. Jerry Op 12-11-2019 om 21:31 schreef Erik Beugelaar via use-livecode: Hello Jerry, Maybe you've already heard of
