Clipboard problem

2016-10-24 Thread Michael Julian Lew
I’ve just installed LiveCode 8.1.1 and I’ve come across an anomaly with the clipboard in Mac OS X 10.9.5. When I populate the clipboard with a return-delimited list using this line the results paste correctly into Nisus Writer Pro but paste into Excel with an extra blank line between lines, and

Clone graphic does not respect dimensions

2016-11-30 Thread Michael Julian Lew
When I clone a graphic (an 8 by 8 pixel oval) in LiveCode 8.1.1 the copy comes out at the default size for a new oval, 120 by 120. That would not be a clone, in my opinion. Is it correct behaviour? Michael ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@li

Getting data out of Excel

2013-07-23 Thread Michael Julian Lew
I'm trying to paste data from MS Excel into a table in my Livecode stack without success. I suspect that either OSX or Excel have added unwelcome complications. I used to be able to just paste, but nowadays (Excel 2011 Mac OSX 10.7.4) the data come in as a long string, with six spaces where a r

Making the clipboard Excel compatible

2017-09-30 Thread Michael Julian Lew via use-livecode
Excel doesn't like the line endings that Livecode puts into the clipboardData["text"] and renders the lines as if they were double spaced. I have asked once before what magic wand to wave to fix the problem, but I forgot the answer and googling was entirely unsuccessful (although I found that t
