Livecode / Github

[Sean Cole]

I managed to get the stack and all substacks to export finally. There was
an issue with an old extension library two of the stacks use (Chart Maker)
so just removed the stacks for now and all ported properly.

Now, it occurs to me that this is all well and good, but there is a lack of
instruction on how to make use of it now. How do you link it to something
like GitHub or some other external or local server? How do we collaborate
with other users? How will they know which scripts are which when they only
see a folder full or GUIDs?

I 'think' these are valid questions. Or maybe I'm just stupid or missed
something somewhere.

By the way, here is an update to the plugin code:
global gLastObject

on savingProperties pLongId, @pProperteis
   // I'm loving all the typos like pProperteis - Really rushed out the
door.
   put "saving properties of" && pLongId into gLastObject
   put gLastObject
   wait 0.001 millisec with messages
end savingProperties

on savingScript pLongId, @pScript
   put "saving script of" && pLongId into gLastObject
   put gLastObject
   wait 0.001 millisec with messages
end savingScript
