Did you try RawKeyDown, just to be sure the key code sent by your gamepad is different from your keyboard?

Vesrion 0.70 is available, with a brand new web page.

I'm still unable to disable Cmd-Q Apple menu shortcut.

Version 0.61 is available. It fixes numerous bugs - thanks to Stam , including icons size. In order to redraw icons at desired size (128 x 128 px) you will have to manually delete folder : ~Users/Library/Preferences/AppLauncher Icons https://sw.ixoft.com/files/ Ideally this would be a menubar item b...

Bug finally found! Obviously, it cames from my code and you were right: there is another part of the code that simulate a file drop. On the very first launch, I populate the board with some basic elements: /Applications/Preview.app /Applications/iTunes.app /Applications/Mail.app /Applications/Utilit...

Then, we are facing to 2 mysteries :( 1 - I don't have this error when I do your test process (launch the app without the prefs file). 2- Reviewing your code above, is there any other part of the app that executes the line answerError "An error has occured." & cr & " " & arrFileInfos & " [#7300]" If...

OK. At this time, I saw 2 real bugs. 1. Icon size. It deals with Objective C "NSImage.-representations" and "-bestRepresentationForRect:context:hints:" I don't know if I'll be able to undersatnd how to modify the extension code :? 2. 7300 error. I obviously tried to launch the app without any prefs ...

Concerning the quality of the icons, I would like to check something.
Could you look inside your ~user/Library/Preferences/AppLauncher Icons/ folder and tell me the size of a .png image? It should be 128x128 pixels.

Thank you Stam for your comments and your always precise analysis. I was in a hurry to finish this first version in order to test it on a daily basis and it is true that certain things will need to be corrected. The 7300 error on the first run annoys me a lot because I can't reproduce it. Can you te...

The Quit menu item is not greyed out - just the shortcut. The menu item is clearly selectable:

Great! But I how can we do this, knowing that we have no control at all on the Apple menu?

Why actually do you want this oddity? For that : https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=143&t=38966 The application is designed to be launched at startup and only closed when the machine is shut down. As the application is most often reduced to a simple button, I think it is better to block un...

I'm an old fan of DragThing (which stopped development for a few years) and, although I don't really like Windows, there is a sort of area in the start menu in Windows that I like. AppLauncher is a mix between a very simplified DragThing and this Windows menu. The icons are of course shortcuts but a...

Even if the shortcut Q is removed in IDE, it will be added during standalone compilation.
And if the "Quit" menu-item is gray, user will think he can't quit the app! At this time, I prefer an enabled menu-item with shortcut and block the keyboard shortcut with your code.

In the end the only thing worked reliably was shutDownRequest - this cannot be used in the IDE, only standalones: on shutdownRequest if the commandKey is down then // do nothing else pass shutdownRequest end if end shutdownRequest Very smart workaround! It works and does not block the shutdown the ...

Hello, From some research, there doesn't seem to be a way to disable the CMD-Q keyboard shortcut for the Quit menu item when compiling a standalone :( I would like the Quit menu item to be present, but without the keyboard shortcut. Of course, I could trap the shutdownRequest message and answer an e...

@ Stam : that's why I wasn't in a hurry to link my LiveCode creations... :? More seriously, I haven't encountered this problem but I just saw in the code that the error is not at all explicit. This part of the code should be improved. I'll note it for a future update. In the meantime, to avoid this ...
