The one that was causing the problem was created on July ‎1, ‎2024. (I can email you the file if you want to look at it.) Is that a beta version or something? I don't see any official version in the RapaGUI history that has a build date of July 1, 2024. The only release in 2024 was 2.2 on 24th Augu...

This is my code: f$=FileRequest("Select File") NPrint(f$) The error is reported "In function: FileRequest" So the file requester pops up and you are able to select a file and after you have selected a file you get the "error locking ..." error? What Android version is ...

Can you provide an MCVE? Also, which Ubuntu version are you using?

Does this really happen in FileRequest() or are you trying to do something with the file returned by FileRequest()? Keep in mind that FileRequest() now operates using Android's Scoped Access Framework (SAF) which means that the returned file specifications will be different from "normal" f...

I notice that although not mention in the help for DisplayTextObject, you can rotate the text by passing a rotate argument. Is this just forgotten in the manual or am I supposed to have catched this elsewhere in the docs? No, looks like this is missing in the manual. Of course DisplayTextObject() a...

Not enough layout space, that plugin table is already pretty crowded, just use the latest Hollywood version
