Re: Home stack

Hi, The Home stack contains a bunch of functions and commands for setting up the IDE when LiveCode starts. Some of these commands and functions are also useful to other parts of the IDE. I don't think the Home stack handles licensing; that should be the engine now. You should be able to edit

It could be the modal nature of the dialogs. I’ve had a similar thing happen when going to a stack as modal. If I switch to another app and then back again, the controls in the modal stack are unresponsive, which made me avoid that technique like the plague. Bob On Mar 28, 2014, at 20:37 , J.
