AW: IDE line number doesn't update

[toolbook at kestner.de]

Hi Sean,

thanks for responding. Yes I have watched this issue also over the years, I just hoped anybody has found a workaround, which I have missed.

But, how do you work with another external script editor? Do you constantly copy and paste your script between the external editor (for editing) and internal (for testing), or is there a way to tweak LC using another editor? How is your workflow?

Add: A minute after my post, the line numbers of the same stack and same script get again updated for today. Up to tomorrow, where everything sticks again probably 😊

Thanks
Tiemo

Hi Tiemo,

This is an issue dating all the way back to LC9.0.0. It has been raised several times in this list and on the bug report platform. Other issues surrounding it have been 'fixed' but this one seems elusive. One thread mentioned someone was working on an alternative script editor but it is not ready for the masses.

I was recommended by Trevor DeVore to use Levure and have my whole app using script-only stacks. That way I could use Atom to open and work on scripts. Not an option for me as my stack is so huuuge that there is no easy way (or even a practical long way) to convert it all over to Script-Only.

Following the thread of bugs around this, I've ended up at Bug 23117 <https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23117> which I have added a new comment to regarding the script editor. Since this has been around since 9.0.0, I can't imagine it being repaired any time soon.

Sean
