Re: some thoughts on version 9.0.0

As has been pointed out in the Forums: as new LiveCode versions come out with new capabilities and new features quite a few of the features available in previous versions are removed: this may well be, as has been explained, the necessary cost of the new features. About 4 years ago I had to 90%

Maybe, Panos... BUT what if someone (like me!) is using one of those "disappearing" inks (sorry for the pun!). The number of inks which were removed is HUGE! I'm supposed to go back to all of my project and live apps and find and replace them??? I don't think so! Doug >>>Hi all,

Re: some thoughts on version 9.0.0

My error. Yes the first badge takes you to the now empty behavior button. BUT the second badge does indeed open the script only stack. no bug, just me not moving further along the chain of badges. The badges follow along the chain as advertised. >> On 20 Apr 2018, at 1:41 pm, James At The Ha

Re: some thoughts on version 9.0.0

Hi all, The inks that were removed were legacy inks which were deprecated a long time ago, and were not supported in the version of Skia library that LC 9.0 uses. Best, Panos -- On Fri, Apr 20, 2018 at 11:20 AM, Keith Martin via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > On 19 Apr 2

Re: some thoughts on version 9.0.0

One downer I have noticed with the advent of behaviors being in script only stacks is you lose the ability to edit them when you click on the behavior badge. If the behavior resides in a button, as before, all is well. Recently while looking into something with the data grid I noticed all the

Re: some thoughts on version 9.0.0

Self-promotion: Navigator's script menu displays all the behaviors, and the handlers in them, of an object. The theoretical limit is 100,000 stacked behaviors, but I suspect the menu system would break before reaching that limit. You need to
