OK - back to one of the original points, I just rebuilt locally and I still see a problem with
https://github.com/livecode/livecode-id ... cript#L692. The revDocsParseDocFileToLibraryArray function is not picking up the metadata because it isn't present in the lcdoc file, so the following code that picks out elements to populate the tDocA array is failing.
In particular, out of the keys "title,author,version,name,display name,requires,uses,svgicon", only "name" and "display name" are present. The other items exist as metadata in the .lcb file, but they don't get generated into the .lcdoc file and so can't be retrieved from there. I regenerated the .lcdoc file from the .lcb file and the contents are still the same. For my purpose I'm particularly interested in retrieving the svgicon information.
It appears that revDocsParseDocFileToLibraryArray is not picking up the metdata.
I'd feel a little weird about filing a bug against unreleased code, but I'll do it if that's appropriate.
