Hmmm, I think I know what you mean. I've found that when I move the red dot with A and D keys, it drastically slows down any animations currently looping (the green square). Can you see what I'm doing wrong? https://www.tsites.co.uk/downloads/key-anim/Untitled1.livecode.zip https://www.tsites.co.uk/...

For anyone still following this, I solved the issues I was having. I used lockscreen (thank you bogs - I know what you mean now), and instead of using multiple 'sends' to various buttons, I moved all the scripts inside the card. Previously I was trying to send the handlers to various card objects co...

Not sure what to suggest here. This is the expected behaviour when I try it: https://www.tsites.co.uk/downloads/newline.png The new line appears without scrolling the text field to the bottom. One thing I could think of, where did you copy your text from? Perhaps there's some characters (unicode or ...

So, managed to find an older Macbook Air, running OSX 10.11. This is a generic, fresh 10.11 install. The tests match mine on my 10.11 desktop. So, I think the performance lag is specific to OSX 10.11 in Livecode. Not sure what causes it. All other programs are butter-smooth. No high CPU use in other...

True, but let's say tomorrow the major chip manufacturers announce they are going to make a 128bit processor (unlikely, because they are all at home). Like what happens with a 64 bit chip currently, where 32bit software would run - the same would be true with the 128bit system. Older 64bit software ...

I guess if suddenly they release a new type of processor, an unidentified model. The shell would know what it is because the operating system needs a working shell, so better to query the shell for the answer.

Hi everyone. Having a few real issues with animation speeds not being consistent across different platforms. For example: https://www.tsites.co.uk/downloads/animtests/anim-test-png-sprites.mp4 This seems to run fine and is a simple load of PNGs being loaded into a button, while the button is being m...

Something like this perhaps then?
Which works on Mac, Linux and Windows.

If you want to know if it's a 32bit or 64bit machine, I know how to do it on the mac. You could use: paste this into a field called "script" on the card set xvar to do shell script "getconf LONG_BIT" set yvar to do shell script "sysctl -n machdep.cpu.brand_string" display dialog "Running a " & xvar ...

https://www.tsites.co.uk/downloads/screenshot-mac-10.14.png And next to no slowdown under OSX 10.14. So, question is, what is wrong with: A: My OSX 10.11 B: All OSX 10.11 Long shot, but if someone else is on OSX 10.11 and can do a test, that would be great. Until then, I'll see if I can beg / borro...

True, but that's perhaps just bad design. You can have a complicated program - but as long as you explain underneath what the options do, have the documentation next to the button.

So, tested on OSX 10.7 https://www.tsites.co.uk/downloads/screenshot-mac-10.7.png (forgot to turn on the box for accelerated rendering under OSX 10.7, but meh - performance not too bad anyway). and on OSX 10.11 https://www.tsites.co.uk/downloads/screenshot-mac-10.11.png (nearly maxed out. Frame rate...

You could use put "hdiutil create -volname 'targetvol' -encryption -srcfolder 'pathtodatafolder' -ov -format UDRO 'nameofnewdmg.dmg'" into mycmd put shell(mycmd) -- targetvol (What your disk image icon name will be) -- pathtodatafolder (can be a folder or existing drive) - where the data is copied f...

That's a wealth of information as far as documentation goes.
Having said that, if a program is designed in an intuitive way, then less documentation is required.

To detect operating system, do you want put the platform should return "Win32" on any version of Windows "Linux" on all Linux distributions "MacOS" on any version of Mac OS X "iphone" on iPhones, iPads and other iOS devices "android" on smartphones, tablets and other Android devices "HTML5" when run...
