[[ ANN ]] Release 10.0.0 DP-5

[Håkan Liljegren]

Thanks for the input. I thought I had done everything until I finally realised that the file dialog that comes up had a button in the lower left corner that said: “Show options”. =-o So then I could select “LiveCode Script” as format. And tada. Well, LiveCode crashed…
…but still. Can now work from that!

Thanks anyway!

I can’t add the file in the extension builder so how can I create the needed .lce file? Or is this a “not implemented yet” feature?
