Behaveior Differences Compared to Project Run in Codea

[elian]

Hi,

During testing of xCodea with one of my projects, I observd the following differences in behaviour of xCodea compared to the project run in Codea:

Note: I am using LDT for project edit.

1) If a 'parameter.number' variable is changed in running code (not through the GUI), the GUI doesen't follow the chanched value as it happens in standard Codea.

2) Using the 'SaveImage("Project:Icon", myicon)' to set the icin of the Project actually is setting 'xCodea' Project's icon, not the tested Project's one.

3) (Off-topic) At first sync of project files by xCodea server, resulting in copying from iPad to Mac under LDT project, all .lua files of the project are owned by 'system' account w/read/write permission and my account is missing from account permission list.

Thus, after modifying some bits in LDT, when I want to save the modified .lua file, I get the error 'Permission denied'. A turnaround for this, is to use the 'chown -R.' command to changing ownership of all the project files.

4) (Off-topic) After a lot of try-and-error (I am not a skiled OS X user/programmer), I finaly installed all (I hope) the necessary Xcode and python command line tools and site-packages, including the 'rumps' package, necessary to make an xCode py2app. The app is functonal till a point, generating an error imediatly after poping up the request for allowance to inbound connections to xCodea server.

Here is a Console log for this:

I realy apreciate your efforts in developing xCodea, an excelent, most helpful project.

Thanks, Elian Epstan

Thanks for the extensive feedback! Would you mind copy-pasting into 4 separate issues? (I'd do it myself, but then I have no idea how to notify you of updates)

OK. Closing this issue.
