  • Browsers block access to certain folders for security reasons. For example if you granted a web page access to your entire Documents folder, the web page can access everything there - and a malicious page could then try to steal it all. To mitigate that you can't select the entire folder for certain sensitive folders like Desktop, Documents etc., but you can select a subfolder within them.

    If you only need to open one file, then just use the open file picker anyway - the user can just choose themselves rather than having your project try to list all available files.

  • As ever the first thing to check is the browser console and see if any errors are logged there. I'm not sure how to check the browser console on Xbox - Microsoft might have some documentation on how to remotely debug it.

  • It seems that anything containing "On collision with: (object with the solid behavior)" is no longer working. This is a huge problem.

    I just tried it and it's working fine. I've also not seen anyone else reporting the same problem.

    As ever it's impossible to help unless you file an issue providing all the necessary information.

  • If you want user-scrollable text the easiest solution is probably to put it in a HTML element object and add the style overflow-y: auto; which will add a vertical scrollbar when it fills up.

  • Browsers have a security restriction that you can't show custom cursors near the edge of the screen, to prevent custom cursors being a way to show misleading information outside the window. AFAIK NW.js still retains that restriction.

  • Well, I tried adding emoji to a layout and event sheet name, and the project could save and open just fine. So it seems to be working OK.

    If you think there's a bug then we need an issue filed following all the guidelines. Without that information all anyone is doing is guessing and it is common that people mis-attribute the cause of problems.

  • As I said, these are most likely false positives. The only solution is to report them to the antivirus vendors as false positives so they are no longer incorrectly identified as malicious.

  • It's most likely a false positive and you'll need to report it as such to the antivirus vendor.

  • I don't know how to help. It looks like maybe you're creating a native app instead of a web app? The former is not something we officially support for Facebook integration.

  • I'm afraid it's impossible to help without more information. If you run in to a problem please file an issue following all the guidelines.

  • Please note suggestions in replies to this thread will not be considered. See the original post for details on posting suggestions.

  • What about the other cases I pointed out, like when combining with multiple conditions from the same object type, or involving system conditions that don't do any picking?

    TBH I don't think this is going to happen, realistically. The event engine involves a large amount of complex code, internally there are several different types of conditions that work differently, many important conditions have custom coding for them, and code for OR blocks is highly complex and spread through it all. Even after many years we still occasionally get bug reports and have to tweak the implementation. The idea of adding even more OR logic to all that fills me with dread. Then there's the fact that it's adding a second alternative to an existing feature, which I generally think is the way to end up with messy and complicated software. Add on top of that that I get the impression different people have different views on how this should work, and it seems likely an alternate OR implementation will not fulfill everyone's wishes in every case, and so could end up as something people end up avoiding anyway. Altogether this kind of adds up to a worst case scenario for a feature suggestion.
