Rev engine 3-gm-2 displays both *.rev and *.mc-files in the "open stack" dialog as "Revolution stacks".

Engine 3-gm-3 restricts the displayed stacks to files with the "*.rev" extension; even when you choose "All files" the display of mc-files is suppressed, but other files like dlls and txt files are shown.

It is even impossible to enforce the display of mc-files by typing "*.mc" into the file name box of the open stack dialog.

Putting the Revolution.exe engine 3-gm-3 into the Metacard IDE shows the same restrictions: No mc-files are displayed.

However, when you rename "Revolution.exe" to "MC.exe", both "Revolution stack"-files "rev" and "mc" are displayed in the "open stack" dialog - like before in gm-2 with "Revolution.exe". This holds for both IDEs, the Revolution and the Metacard IDE.

The consequence for users that primarily work with the Rev IDE - but wish to access Metacard files once in a while - would be to rename their Rev engine to "MC.exe". This works fine within the Rev IDE.
