3. If a plot is Not Found, the left-most comma-separated Location part is successively removed for each auto-geocode; 1) say my PLAC is GBR, , Bethersden, , Kent, I would suppose you would not tear off GBR, and go down the line, so if it is not found in GBR by reduction you wouldnt code the first Be...

sounds like its pretty snazzy, I have loaded it, and am thinking about renamin my loc file and running this version from scratch. two questions arise, maybe 2.5. assume that my bias is us 1) then; even though you know I dont say my PLAC is GBR, , Bethersden, , Kent, UK. when you start whittling each...

thanks Mike, now it seems logical, at least a little.

I am going to have to come up with something to figure out how to space it, to align the header and fields.

function _sfl_CTL(_WS) local hdrcol = iup.label { title = _hdr_col, gaplin = '0', gapcol = '0', expand = 'NO', alignmentcol = 'ALEFT', alignmentlin = 'ATOP', multiline = 'NO', } local hdr_col = iup.hbox{hdrcol} local sfl = iup.vbox{iup.scrollbox{_WS}} local btn_ok = iup.button { name = 'ENTER', titl...

as it happens, I don't know better than that, Mike, now I do.

--*add is the problem for now. in vfy_parms, I build the header for columns in my subfile _hdr_col. I then put it in an hbox, because what else would I put it in? I intend to display it. (still dont know why I have to hbox things twice. but not an issue at present) as you can see the space is there ...

then it would seem for quarter dates they use (in the case of Q4) Sep or 9, or the difference of the two and end up in the end up end of Oct instead of Dec or 12, which I think would probably be the best all around date to sort on, rather than first or midpoint. any way you cut it, there would be th...

I have incorporated it, thanks for the help Mike, looks good. now I have to try it with a small table and see if I can find the tipping point between showing it all and showing in 'pages'. however, its off to more non-documented do now work as advertized (even by Scuri, at this point) for how to get...

Mike, here is what I have working at present: first question, does it work on yours at 7 and 5.3? --[[ I use iup.matrix instead which can be found in the IUP Controls under Additional + iupControls + iupMatrix In its documentation under Utility Functions it mentions these Lua functions: ih:setcell(l...

I put it in the 2nd -- this area where I have iup.Map commented out
no change.

ok, my screen resolution is 1366 x 768 I have not substantially altered the code I first posted, however to make it easy, I will post what I am running now. this is what is in there if I expand the window by hand. Untitled.png --[[ I use iup.matrix instead which can be found in the IUP Controls unde...

I am missing something somewhere. changing the font , I like the font, but no real effect. I have tried both ways at dialog: size = nil, size = '', from reading the SIZE attribute in iup documentation, and misunderstanding the non-informational documentation there. I still get this (albiet with a fo...

the opt field now works well. however if I remove: -- this --[[ local _ms = iup.Map(_ws_dsp) local _rs = _ws_dsp.rastersize local _ns = _ws_dsp.naturalsize if _rs then -- split the numbers but what do they mean and how to calc? -- documentation says calc this, but calc how, what is it showing me? lo...

I have two issues I do not know how to resolve in the code you see here, it is a subset of a much more complex program. both issues are found by searching for: -- this ) to display 1 or 2 wide? (that will be a parm, but it will only be one of two values) as it is, if I can display it 1 wide somehow,...

I dont have any custom books, so the sample book for monro is what I looked at

https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/ looks a little better than Notepad, I see a lot of Ariel 10.

Mike, some interesting results. I have rerun place fields only and address fields only there are some consequences I do not understand and some, how did that ever happen then. for my 1139 addresses 2 were unplotted, this is as it should be. They are cemeteries on private land with no address. The qu...

Mike I sent you my .loc offsite, all the data appears to be in it. And they are selectable, but as you say match the greyscale. When they show in the window, all grey and latlong not there as you are saying. But they exist. I was going to see if I could find in your code where you load it, and see i...

No, Mike I don't. But I do not mind rerunning it. So, you do retain ADDR latlong there even when you stick it in the sources. I wish I had a backup of 4.8.7...lol. When I was debugging something odd in my save restore stuff, (which I am still working on-- paths upgrade which are a wellspring, I was ...

Mike, I spoke too soon. This time I did not get the error. couple of things that may or may not be significant to your investigation. I have for a very long time, had my sticky setting @ us bias. when I ran without error the second time, it came up uk bias, and it must have been so when I ran thru i...

I am putting this here, I was unsure if I should put this in thread report plugin problems, I was on 4.8.7 got the informational message that ie no longer supported. continued on, no problem. then got a message that a newer version was in the store. so I updated. on the new version, I got an error. ...

is it still in your recycle bin?
there is recuva

https://www.ccleaner.com/recuva it takes a while but if you absolutely positively need it....

Is there any one here who is running fh on 32 bit windows, and is familiar at all with plugins, I am trying to investigate some system and user environment variables and could get my reader to write a text file without too much work, and would like to see the results in that text file.

thanks.

yes, appdata is really virtual, not ApplicationData which is the real thing. My pictures is sort of an amalgamation of userprofile pictures and common pictures, userdesktop and destopdirectory are two different animals as well. I may programattically want to send something to the recycle bin, but as...

thanks. but I can get environment variables, I can get HOMEPATH, TMP, TEMP, PATH, CPATH, and so on. what I cannot get thru os.getenv is the path to mydocuments, admintools, appdata and the like. I can take a very educated guess, but I cannot be at all certain how to get the 'virtual' folders path tr...

luacom does not have a VERSION I can find in _G. its not the actual issue but one of no useful documentation whatsoever. COM.NET COM.WMI and several other microsoft frameworks have a way to get system and user folderpaths. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/shlobj_core/nf-shlobj_core...
