Script Editor fixable? (was: Configuring a Sublime Text project to notify LiveCode IDE about updates to script only stacks)

[Simon Knight]

I’m curious how do the likes of Swift, C# store details of their GUI ?

As to display of PDF what is it you want to do that can’t be achieved using the browser ?

best wishes
Simon

And with LC you get a cross-platform solution, while even if you did find a GUI framework for Swift for Windows you'd likely be writing a lot of forked code for each platform.
