Everything seems to be working fine except that when it opens, the buttons of the home stack have no icons, just names. Clicking any button makes the icon show up. I wonder what gives. 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.

I have the handler in the first card of the Home stack too, but it is a startup handler, not a preOpenCard handler. Try changing your handler to startup; that was Mark Waddingham's suggestion. I think the tools stack needs to load very early in the process. 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. I'll put it on my someday list, but probably won't get around to implementing it unless some other changes need to be made too. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ metacard mailing list metacard@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
