"After deleting a linked script file, then reopening a movie that linked to the deleted script, then making a change to the internal copy of the script and then saving, the changes to the script are not saved."

It gives the impression that the .dir stores an internal copy of the linked script file, how else could it work at all if you delete the linked script file from the HD?
If so I think it could be a good idea to try "save as" or "save and compact" after deleting the script - Just so you don't carry any old data in the .dir.
Or is there a "unlink script file" command?

Hi all,
I've got a problem:
1) I've got a movie script that is linked to a bunch of different director
apps. One app, however, needs a slightly altered version of said script.
2) So, in the troublesome app, I deleted the script from the cast list and
re-imported it as standard instead of linked.
3) Then I made changes to the newly imported script. Strangely, none of the
changes seemed to be having any effect. Indeed, it did not seem to notice
the new script.
4) On a whim, I deleted the new script. The app continued to function as
though the script was *still there.* (technically, it functioned as if the
original linked script was still there).
5) Nothing I do seems to make this phantom script go away. I'm facing a major deadline, and this is really making me sweat.
Any ideas?
Thanks, cw
