I just sent this mail under the wrong subject - please ignore that version! G
I’ve got a preferences stack which is called something like “my preferences”. It’s not called “my preferences.livecode”. It’s a mainstack, not a substack of any other. The path to the stack is of the form /Users/Graham/Library/Preferences/my preferences If I put the path to the stack in a variable and then try to open it from within another stack, as in go card 1 of stack pathToMyStack It doesn’t open and ‘exists’ says it doesn’t exist - but it can be opened from the IDE. If I do the same experiment outside my Library folder, it seems to be OK. I thought at first this was because I didn’t include an extension (“.livecode”0, but that’s not apparently the issue. The Dictionary entry for ‘go' says: > If you specify a file path or http URL, the command opens the main stack of > the specified stack file. Can anyone explain what’s happening?
