For a while, LC 7 and 8 where linked in the sense, that, besides widget syntax, new keywords/functions/properties of LC Script were added to both. Actually they are already unlinked (in this sense), for example by the new "replace styled" function. This means we have the same problem as described in the first post of this thread if we wish to use one script for both LC 7 and LC 8, and we may have already to write three versions if we wish to use it for LC 6/7/8. >From my point of view this is necessary if new features of LC 7 and or LC 8 can compensate a little bit their 'loss of speed' compared to LC 6. My meanwhile more exact question is whether there are (more) *easy* ways for that.
