This probably would not interest you, but when I want to perform actions not native to Livecode, I will interact with the built-in apps of the OS. This means I need to ensure where the apps are on the user’s device, so the first time I do something like open a PDF or a text file, I ask the user to locate where the app is, and I start the user in the directory where the default app typically is so they don’t necessarily have to hunting for it, but can choose an alternate app if they want.
I avoid the web browser like the plague, because every time I wanted to use it, I found it wasn’t caple of the things I needed.
