When closing a standalone stack I have, I would like all the
information I had in it's fields and all other settings (hilites of
radio buttons and check buttons) to be remembered and to appear next
time I open this standalone stack.
I've implemented this by saving all the information to a text file and
then reading that back in again. My problem is to find a good path for
such a file (especially since there might be duplicates of this stack
and each duplicate should preferably remember different settings).
With Mac OS X I tried the following script to give me a name (putting
the file in the same folder as the standalone, thus assuming that the
logged in user is allowed to write in that folder).
My script uses
put filename of this stack into thename
and then figures out in what folder (i.e. directory) it resides.
It works fine as long as I don't make the stack standalone. A
standalone under Mac OS X is, however, like a folder with the actual
stack as a file somewhere in its inner hierarchy . Using the script
above will thus give me a path *inside* the application (...
myStackName.app/contents/MacOS/ ) and since such a path is read-only I
get a "can't open that file" error.
Any suggestions?
