Hello,
I have two versions of the same stack with a bunch of substacks. I would
like to copy objects and scripts from one version to the other.
I know, that I can't open two stacks with the same name for editing. I tried
to open the two versions in two instances of LC, but it seems, that the
I tried it again with two instances and now the paste menu is active and I
can copy/paste between two instances of LC.
I don't know, why paste wasn't active before - does anybody knows what could
led to this behavior?
Thanks
Tiemo

You could also consider using JSON instead of XML. Particularly since

Yes,
My thought is to not limit it to scripts necessarily, but all objects in a

both standard and custom.
I see it as a standalone program that would open a stack file, grab all the

Set the alignment of the label to Centered, set the width to autofit, align
objects by their centers. One thing I do that seems to help is I set the width

I think you'd have to find some way to preserve object IDs or a lot of

one can even store fields that contain returns - replace them with an
'invisible' character such as vertical tab and each record will be one
line. Tab-delimited text is so much easier to deal with - the text chunking
commands you already know work great - and are very fast.

Yes the more I think about it, the more tedious it becomes. It seems the only

It would work for user created objects, except how do you get datagrids to do
