Re: variable window not applying changes
Double clicking on the line in the variable list only opens a single watcher window. If I do this in my current project I make a change, click "apply" and the previous value (before I made the change) returns! I have since made a test stack to see if the problem persists. It doesn't. Making a change in a variable of the test stack worked as expected. So whatever is happening is confined to my current project. Very strange. Restarting LC does not solve the issue. Right now it is just an inconvenience but I am intrigued as to what is present in my current project that makes this happen. When I complete it I will test again and if still present send the stack to LC (in a bug report.) and see if Panos can illuminate me. Thanks for the comments.

How to in LC for Desktop and the Web?
I have an LC application that currently runs on Window and macOS, that I want to try to get running under LC 10 for the web. One characteristic of the app is that it opens a number of external stacks. On desktop platforms, these external stacks (outside the .EXE (windows) or .app package (macOS) are found in a folder at the same level as the installed application. So if the app is installed at C:\Program Files\MyApp\MyApp.exe The the folder containing the external stacks is at C"\Program Files\MyApp\FolderOfStacks\ I get the path of the mainstack and use it to construct the path to the folder If I build for Web, is there some equivalent model for external stacks? I get that I may need to have a: switch platform() case "Win32" case "macOS" -- load external stacks the way I do now break case "web" -- load external stacks some other way break end switch but what is the web best practice for that 'some other way"? And is it different if I am testing locally vs hosting MyApp on a server? ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: variable window not applying changes
@Bernd. " double-click on the icon in the varialble line:” What icon? Do you mean the small box-with-arrow icon that appears when a multi-line variable is present in the lower list? @James. I am on a Mac, but have never had a change made in the external variable window (certainly a stack) that did not make a change that did not stick.

This only happens to me if I accidentally double-click on the icon in the varialble line: then two windows pop up at the same location. Changes in the topmost window and "applying" them do not change the variable. Apparently the lower window with the old values prevents that.
