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.
Until Livecode release a version for people who program with their feet all I'm going to say is "See you in court" . . .
That's the European Court of Human Lefts of course (right across the canal, in Den Haag, from the European Court of Human Rights).
Richmond.
Looking forward to hearing of other developers' successes with the new guessProgrammerIntent property.
