Hi folks, Thanks to the engine refactoring project made possible by last year's Kickstarter campaign the good folks at RunRev have finally been able to implement a feature that I have wanted for years. You know how you're always yelling at your computer to do what you mean, not what you actually coded? Well, that's a thing of the past with the new guessProgrammerIntent stack property. Try this in the stack script:
on openStack set the guessProgrammerIntent of me to true end openStack Suddenly everything I really want my stack to do "just works!" So I can do things like this: sort field "mydata" in a way that makes sense And Boom! the text in the field looks exactly like I want it to look, whatever that is. It even works with Strict Compilation Mode turn on! I think what happens is that if you forget to declare a variable, LiveCode just assumes you meant to and carries on as if you had declared it. I have tried this with both the LTR and the new RTL versions of LiveCode. I have yet tested it in Ambidextrous mode because I can't afford it right now. Looking forward to hearing of other developers' successes with the new guessProgrammerIntent property.
