That's a really old bug. I think the fix is this mod to the Home
stack that specifically puts the tools stack in use:
on startup
if the version >="2.7" then
start using stack "mctools.mc"
if the platform <> "MacOS" then
open stack "mctools.mc"
end if
set the defaultStack to "Home"
reset cursors
end if
pass startup
end startup
I have added this not as startup handler but per Ken's instructions
in the preopen handler of cd 1 script of the Home stack. Without this
script inserted, the launch hangs up as I mentioned before. With the
script, MetaCard launches and all works except that the home stack
buttons have no icons until clicked.
BTW, the setup stack works nicely. It does not, however, check
whether the script of the home stack's card is modified. Without
the mod (as described in the instructions posted in yahoo group),
MetaCard hangs when launching.
Right. It doesn't check for any scripts, it just moves the stacks
from the download site. If you've made changes to your Home stack or
other tools, use the option that adds the engine to an existing set
of MC stacks (or move your Home stack into the new folder after
setup finishes.)
It could be cool if the setup script checked whether the above script
fragment is added and pop a warning if it is not. Nothing more.
