  It calls QWindowsApplication:setWinTabEnabled(bool) with the second argument to the application:set("wintabMode",(number)) call.
  This is what you asked for in another thread.

  i don't remember what was my issue exactly, please help, what does this do? also i cannot find these qt references on the net?
  
  other: my code does not compile, i'm using the datasaver module (a modification of http://appcodingeasy.com/Gideros-Mobile/Save-and-load-data-module-for-Gideros-Mobile), previously it was just another file in my source file list, but now it complains:
  sources/saveloadmenu.lua:105: attempt to call a nil value
  when i invoke dataSaver.save()
  
  the module is the one starting with:
  module("dataSaver", package.seeall)
  
  so how should i use such a module in new version? ty

  in new version when i open a player in windows in most cases it does not activate the 'play' button and so i cannot run my project. EDIT: practically i need to restart gideros studio after each closing of the gideros player.

  also, i don't use lua shaders yet i wonder how this fits into lua language:
  function vertex(vVertex,vColor,vTexCoord):Shader
  what does :... mean for a function? i've never seen such stuff. or is this new to luau? and then what does it mean? specific only for shaders or we can create such functions too?

  Thanks for reporting, probably caused by qt6, I’ll debug that

  As a quck fix, you can run second player (without closing first), then switch:
  
  and close first one
  
  Also:
  

  

  
  happens when you type "Something.new("

  Hmm, I should limit the call tip list. For auto completion suggestions, you need to type two letters at leaast

  Hmm, what am I missing?

  local value1 = true local boolAsString = value1 :: string print(boolAsString, type(boolAsString))   local value2 = 34 local numberAsString = value2 :: string print(numberAsString, type(numberAsString))

  Outputs:

  true boolean 34 number

  According to docs "::" is a type cast, but it does not work?
  
  Another one:

  function getName(): string -- must return a string, but returns a number without any errors return 123 end   local name = getName() print(name, type(name))   -- outputs: 123 number

  Im confused

  I think type checking is only useful for the linter, I didn’t try myself

  CLTR+ALT+T does not fold ALL top level functions. It folds only "cached" functions (ones that editor "saw"), but others is not affected.
  
  CLTR+ALT+L works fine

  Maybe I misimplemented it somehow, there are various flags in luau sources

  I am afk until this evening, so I can’t have a look at data saver code right now, but that should be easy to fix

  This is an AMAZING update, a great start to 2022.
  
  The way that it lets you have suggestions and clues regarding variable usage, etc is magic! Much better than before.
  
  Here is a link to the SSL stuff for Windows. I recommend you install Gideros 2022.1 to the Program Files folder rather than the Program Files (x86) folder - the zip assumes you have done this.

  my feedback using new giderosU
  I changed @ to =
  But I needed to change some globals declared in main and put them in init (the screen size for example)
  
  At the beginning my game was crashing a lot (gideros player would shut down) with no feedback from gideros studio.
  I narrowed down the issue and found out this was due to calling movie clip asynchronously so I changed that to only call the function.

  -- the score -- Core.asyncCall(self.movieClip, self, xv.points) -- crashes gideros player self:movieClip(xv.points)   function Nmes:movieClip(xpoints) self.world.score += xpoints self.world.scoretf:setText("SCORE: "..self.world.score) local mc = MovieClip.new{ {1, 20, self.world.scoretf, {scale={4, 9, "inOutElastic"}}}, {20, 30, self.world.scoretf, {scale={9, 4, "inOutElastic"}}} } mc = nil end

  Also related to box2d, before I could do this:

  xv:setLinearVelocity(0, 0) -- not the best but will do xv:applyLinearImpulse(xk.deathbody.vx*-flip, xk.deathbody.vy, xv:getWorldCenter()) -- test

  but now it crashes, so I have to use one or the other.
  
  Now everything works fine I am using box2d (this is the platformer I am working on). I don't have the numbers but it seems to be faster?!
  
  Some minor issues:
  - gideros studio when you click a tab you also have to click the code to get the cursor moving
  
  I haven't tested other luau stuff so cannot give feedback yet.
  
  (at)hgy29 you did an amazing job in a short period of time, thank you for making this happen, will donate soon.
  
  Viva Gideros luau

  FYI:
  when exporting to windows (win32 or windows) I have a blank screen.
  I tried my app first but then with the sample demos and that doesn't work either.
  I tried with encrypt and don't encrypt.
  
  FYI2:
  same for html5 -> blank screen with no errors

  I had a look and it should have worked as is, but the whole module/require stuff has been removed from luau and the replacement functions I wrote may not do exactly what lua 5.1 did. To be future proof, it would be better if datasaver was turned into a class, that is its functions declared as

  function dataSaver.load()

  etc

  @hgy29 , i see, i associated to some windows tab thing, as i gave up on the wintab driver. it made me excited, thanks a lot, i will test.
  sure, changing the module to a class is not too much of a work. overall i hope modules shall work in long term. also i hope async loading will work (@Mokalux seemed to have issues with it), i have some file loading/saving that is based on it.

  async loading works well, I have tested it. I think @Mokalux issue is more about Movieclip, which needs to keep references of Sprites and use them across threads. I shall be able to fix that if I am correct.

  @hgy29 for setWinTabEnabled() is value 1=enabled and 0=disabled? or?

  application:setFullScreen(false)
  when being fullscreen is either very slow or crashed altogether.

  i think after application:set("wintabMode",1) if i disable windows ink in wacom app then i should get pressure info from the pen (via the wintab driver). but i don't.
  
  actually this is logged, so perhaps wintabMode is not a valid option?:
  Accepted value for Desktop's application:set()
  - windowPosition(x,y)
  - windowSize(w,h)
  - minimumSize(w,h)
  - maximumSize(w,h)
  - windowColor(r,g,b)
  - windowTitle(text)
  - windowModel(type//help)
  - cursor(type//help)
  - cursorPosition(x,y)
  - clipboard(text)
  - mkdir(path|dirName//help)
  - documentDirectory(path)
  - temporaryDirectory(path)
