Mac OS Sierra does not like a LC app I wrote that uses revBrowserCEF (Chrome 39) to play WebM videos. Videos are very slow to load on older Macs (15-30 seconds, compared to under 1 second before) and slowish on newer Macs. Still works great on Windows and any Mac with MacOS before Sierra. Not sure w...

The CEF browser has been dropped from LC8 because of lack of support in the thirdparty library. I'm not sure whether that has gotten merged into the LC6 builds yet. But I think if you revert to the older browser (use revBrowserOpen rather than revBrowserOpenCEF) that should fix your current problem...

I need to serve up this link in an LC browser: http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/bc1cdb39. Several of the buttons in the top center do not work within LC's browser, because they launch a new page/tab. Ideally, I would handle the new page requests by seeing messages and launching the new URLs in a ...

Is there a way to suppress a crash report caused by a LiveCode standalone on Mac? I need to deliver a standalone that uses revBrowserCef and I am getting the recently reported and confirmed crash that occurs occasionally when closing a stack that used revBrowserCef. (Bug report: http://quality.livec...

Solved! "Windows 10" use of standalone externals problem When launching "Standalone 2" in an a folder (directory) using "Standalone 1" from a different folder, the defaulFolder setting for "Standalone 1" carries forward to "Standalone 2". So "Standalone 2" thinks it is in a different folder and can'...

Is there a way to force a standalone to launch it's externals, in this instance where they are not loaded or connected for loading at initial launch? Seems like it can't find them when launched by my standalone launch app. Specifically, the Standalone can't find the CEF software that resides in the ...

I know little about how Windows deals with this stuff, but my guess would be a restriction preventing one app from controlling another due to malware protections. Or maybe it's just a permissions issue. Anyone know? I was just able to launch the app from Powershell in Windows 10, with CEF working, ...

Help! One last snag found. CEF browser does not work when called with my standalone MyApplication (residing in the Temp folder with its Externals folder) on Windows when launched by another standalone LaunchApp (from flash drive or Desktop). But, when LaunchApp STACK (while running in LC) launches t...

Opening the MacOS folder in the Contents and replacing the "MyApplication" file fixes the bad app. Turns out it's supposed to be a Unix executable but when unzipped via LC it becomes a TextEdit Document, according to Get Info. Not sure why the executable bit is carried over by other tools but not t...

Sorry, I didn't address the compression part. It's standard gz but to be sure it's compatible with LC, do the compression in LC too. Use LC's "compress" command. It's the same three lines I posted with only the one command changed. Compress only works with single files. If you need externals or oth...

[quote="jacque"] For Windows, you can use LC's compress and decompress commands. Those work with a single file (a Mac app is a bundle of many files, but a Windows app will work.) LC does not need any other software to do compression, it's built-in. To decompress: put url ("binfile:"&<path to compres...

> Yes but you have to know that revZipEnumerateItems only works until LC 6.7.1 Ugh! On Windows, it just returns the one .exe file inside and skips the rest of the other files in the zip file. I suppose I could use revZipEnumerateItems, store the items and unzip based on that, without getting the lis...

Hi Steve, Yes, you should also be able to use LiveCodes in-built syntax for this purpose. I used the shell command in my initial script as it required only a single line. LiveCode revZip commands require a few more lines of script but you do have a little bit more direct control over what you can d...

simply (full) quote the pathname"! Best Klaus Fixed everything, including the need to have the single quote marks around the path mentioned above. The above script to unzip to a hard disk destination is working great on Mac, but not in Windows. Getting this path (from flash drive), which looks like...
