Re: Location via WiFi on Mobile?

Why is locationChanged more robust than directly querying the sensor? Anyway, the issue still seems to be the same. The devices running iOS 5.1.1 display no data while the iOS 5.1 device does. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX Design On 2/5/13 10:41 PM, "Monte Gouldin

Good point. This reinforces what I've been experiencing: a delay is needed between starting up location services and actually using them. Plus implementing a timeout if there's no usable result after a set period of time. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX Design On 2/6

Re: Trying to make economic sense of open sourcing livecode

Kevin - building automatic default licensing and easy code submission into the open source version would go a long long way to making the open source community effort work.

Re: Trying to make economic sense of open sourcing livecode

Surely LiveCode itself is made up of lots of files, that can work with GIT perfectly well? Do stacks have to have that ability right away? Won't most open source big LiveCode applications be made of lots of stacks and external files, giving you a certain amount of modularity, even if individual

Re: Trying to make economic sense of open sourcing livecode

Interestingly - one of the side effects of the file based export of large stacks for Git repos - is that the monolythic stack gets digested into chunks - this can make it much easier to re-engineer as a lean stack that reads and writes to text files. Also GIT deals very very well with hundreds or

A way to help open-source LiveCode

Hi, The LiveCode open-source initiative is a great idea. I pledged but I was thinking I could pledge more. That's why I'd like to announce that I'll use 50% of all net revenues (= after sales tax) of Installer Maker to back the open-source edition of LiveCode on Kickstarter, provided that the

Can the user save the additional files anywhere, or are they only saved to a specific location? If anywhere, not sure how to deal with that. But if they're saved to a specific location, it used to be that Inno Setup had a way to remove an entire folder of files upon uninstalling the application,

Re: Android Externals

That's correct. Don't know about the technical reasons why. Perhaps years back, when LC first went mobile, iOS dominance made focusingon it rather than Android better sense financially, given LC's limited resources? Given the OSS initiative now, hearing something definite from LC on Android Extern

I would say that between the two extremes, most software uninstalls leave user related files and settings on the computer. For one thing, the uninstall may not be permanent. It may be something the user does to "fix" something that seems wrong to him. For another thing, the user can easily delet
