Re: LC Roadmap

I've said something to that effect earlier, at which point I was jumped all over. So, because I don't want to be jumped all over again, and because saying the 'roadmap' needs to be updated will have no effect (didn't the last 3 times), I'm NOT stating what I think. Love. kisses, and other thi

Re: [OT] Poll: What does it mean for 1 rect to be 'within' a certain distance of another rect?

I would go for the distance between edges, although I can see the Mathematical wobbly bits you are going to have to jump through. Richmond. On 16.02.21 0:53, Paul Dupuis via use-livecode wrote: This is an Off Topic informal poll of sorts, but related to LiveCode as I am writing a LiveCode expr

Re: [ANN] Release 9.6.2 RC-3

I have just downloaded Indy 9.6.2 RC-3, done the licensing "dance" and fired it up without any problems at all: macOS 11.3 Beta 3, 2018 Mac Mini, 3 monitors. I suspect you have some background process (i.e. something set to run at startup) that is clogging up the works. Best, Richmond. On 1

Re: [ANN] Release 9.6.2 RC-3

e: I just downloaded and tested on my MBP16(2019), single screen, MacOS 11.2.2, and also in parallels Win10(v1909) and had no issues.
