It turns out I was wrong - I can't get it to run in 8.0-dp-4

I've been using that version of LC8 - but only doing minimal stuff, testing stacks that were developed under 7.0. I had changed lcStackbrowser to be run 'on request', instead of 'on startup' because I had had problems, so I wasn't actually using it in LC8 at all.

I upgraded to 2.2.1 but still have problems with 8.0 versions. When I run lcStackBrowser, it tries to run bvgDocu2 which fails. It is now failing with a different error message than before (in both DP4 and DP9).
(error message is about arraydecode from a URL (...../dict.index))

So I decided I probably had an old version of bvgDocu - downloaded it, and it now fails with
"Can't find background" error when executing
   show group "please stand by"

You know what - I'll just wait for a better version of LC8, and the news that both you and bvg have been able to successfully run your plugins, and then I'll try to move up from LC7 to LC8.

Thanks

Hi Alex,
I will do some testing with lcStackbrowser and dp9.  It goes through a
process of discovering new properties when it is run under a version of LC
it hasn't seen before and that process has changed considerably with the
advent of LC8.  It was based on how things were in DP7 and since LC8 is
still very fluid, it wouldn't surprise me if something changed in DP8/9
that affects what I'm doing.

In the next release, that process will go away and be replaced by
downloading a file from my web server containing new property definitions
for each new release.

Are you on the latest version of lcStackbrowser (2.2.1)?

Considerably better than DP 8.

Well Done!

Hmmm... what are you seeing that I'm not?

User plugins are again not loaded.

I'm getting them loaded - kind-of.

If I have lcStackBrowser in my Plugins directory, then it tries to load
bvgDocu2 (which is not in my Plugins directory - in fact, I can't figure
out where it loads it from). This gives me a message box saying it is
"Creating a Docu 2 database for Livecode 8.0.0-dp-9",  and then hangs;
can't close the box, can do a few other things, but not many - and can't
even quit LC, I need to Force-quit.

Other plugins load OK.

No other problems to report, because I just can't bear to use LC without
lcStackBrowser, so I'm going back to DP4 which is able to run
lcStackBrowser OK.

MacOSX 10.10.5 - but I'm not sure if this is a LC or a lcStackBrowser or a
bvgDocu problem, so no bug report opened yet.
