Re: Why is LiveCode not recognized more as an app developer language?

Hi This forum is really great, and help is always only a key press away. Many thanks to everyone who gave up their free time to make this forum possible. I see many people extolling the forum (Klaus etc are stars). I'll come back to that below. It is mostly painful to have an idea or a broad outline...

Re: Why is the geometry manager still borked in 2021?!

We have two different views: 1) LC staff have been using GM for years with success. 2) various users who claim it's broken or unreliable One of 2) came to be 1) after staff at a conference showed him how to use it.

Re: Your favourite text editor for working with livecode

I'm not cool so this may not apply, but FWIW I almost always use binary stacks, and edit their scripts within the IDE. Me too. I use the editor of LC IDE, re-factoring into Script-only Stacks (SoS). These are periodically committed to my Fossil vcs (both SoS and non-text elements get committed). Fo...

Try setting the shadow of the card to true and the 3d of the card to true. That might give you the effect you desire.

Re: Why is LiveCode not recognized more as an app developer language?

But as i am not posting here to argue with you or to win some kind of contest, i'll stop responding to this type of post now. I will make these pa...

Re: Why is LiveCode not recognized more as an app developer language?

What marketing methods did you find contributed most to your books' success? Getting someone with over 1 million followers to promote the book. Would you characterize that as a teachable marketing skill, or a lucky roll of the dice? ;) I guess it was a bit of both. The quantity of engaging informat...

Re: Why is LiveCode not recognized more as an app developer language?

Keeping the info in these links in mind, do you really think things are optimal right now and can't do with improving? Please don't act as if I am Dr. Pangloss. If things were optimal the bug database would be empty and we'd ask for new features and they'd be delivered within 24 hours. But the real...

It was (a) , There was no choice, so I had to download the latest versions from SDK Manager. I wish there is a download option to choose file ...

Re: Why is LiveCode not recognized more as an app developer language?

Well, for starters I’d pay a serious website dev to update the website, I’d provide ongoing dynamic content (blog posts, snippets, tutorials - whatever, just constant stream) and I’d mirror this on social media (at the very least Facebook, Twitter, perhaps Reddit - accepting the negativity there). ...

Thanks Jacque, that might be significant.

I've contacted Jellobus privately to try something else. We'll return to public discussion once we've tried it.
