The way to get rid of the GUI is use the -ui command line option. It would be nice if command line app were an option in standalone settings and we didn’t need to use -ui. As script only stacks don’t retain custom properties between sessions and the standalone settings are saved as custom properties I expect it would get a bit tedious to use a script only stack as the standalone mainstack…. not that I’ve tested to see if it works. The main annoyance other than -ui is extracting the binary from a mac app bundle but you can script that. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
