...HEY! And that is a GREAT discovery! That Lua Console errors was worried to me (and others HERE (although in my first topic I was refering to another thing )) a long time ago, nothing really serious at all, but we'll can work more confortabily inside Actions from this day forward so... THANKS!
It would be great if more third-party developers got interested in developing both Lua scripts and external helper applications for Moho. Perhaps then some of the shortcomings could be lifted for pro users without raising the fee for registering Moho. Pro and power users would simply buy the add-ons.
Of course, for this to happen, a good documentation of the Lua interface is necessary and external hooks* inside the Moho engine should be included to enable third party developers to enhance Moho, to give it extra functionality. Whether these hooks should be open source, or only be available for selected developers, is something Lost Marble should decide, but the idea that other developers, not on the payroll of Lost Marble, are improving Moho is a good idea, I think.
*) Note: I'm sure this is not an official term, but I think you get the picture. A way to hook up external programs inside the Moho engine, as if they were part of the engine.
Edit: Perhaps the term API (application program interface) is more appropriate than hooks.
"...the idea that other developers, not on the payroll of Lost Marble, are improving Moho is a good idea, I think."
Absolutely. This is a great idea, especially for very small (one-man?) outfits like Lost Marble. It opens up Moho to go in a number of different directions without placig unbearable strain on the current developer(s). Gets my vote.
You can't have everything. Where would you put it?

I can't believe I didn't notice this post until now. Congratulations!
And yes, do get yourself some help.
I was going to quote jackthegiantkiller for agreement, I've been using Moho a few times at my current job, and it has created quite a bit of interest. It just feels to me that Moho wants to become bigger than what one guy can handle.

Hey LM, how are things getting along for you and Moho?
Your absence from the forum is notable and we users of Moho is pretty much in the dark here.
Are there any update coming soon?, do you read the feature requests and bug reports?, are you going to do anything about the increasing spam on the forum?
