Those are good reasons to separate the substacks from the mainstack. If you don't plan to save changes to them, leave them attached. They open faster that way, which is particularly noticeable on mobile. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hype

I'm not sure it's the same thing but even on a single screen the app browser gets out of sync. If you right click on the right hand pane and select "refresh" it fixes itself. I see this frequently when editing groups. The same thing happens, but less frequently, on the left hand side, like whe

Oh that is interesting. Still, I can see one use case where separating them is a good thing. There have been times I made a change to one or two substacks, and only needed to replace the versions from the "Standalone" with the new one(s). Also, if a stack is a part of the EXE, aren't the read on

I've not looked inside the OSX app bundle, but on Windows, the mainstack and its substacks are built into the EXE. What I am calling an "external" stack is a regular livecode stack, separate from the Windows EXE that is opened by a script in the built standalone (EXE). As in: open stack "C:/so

We have an app we're porting to LC9 (currently doing internal beta builds under LC9.0.5rc1) that we're seeing some weirdness when external stacks are opened by the standalone. This is happening under OSX. We've not seen it (so far) under Windows, but most of our initial QA testing is done unde
