There should be no problem to copy/write/save a stack to the folder AppData . This is the recommended place if your app needs to write data to disk. It can be access using specialfolderpath("Support") or specialfolderpath(26). Or has this really changed in Windows 10? Matthias Rebbe free

Hello all, In LC 6.7.11 it is possible to open a HC stack. This feature has broken in LC 7+. So you can try to: 1. Make a copy of your HC stack 2. Open it in LC 6.7.11 3. Then save it in LC 6.7.11. Hopefully, after step 3, you should be able to open it in LC 9. Best, Panos-- On Tue, Jan 15,

Yes, with Windows 10, there is a feature called Sandboxing, where even if your logged in user has write permissions to where the stack is saving, you will still not be able to write there. Program Files is a great example. The solution is not to save stacks. Stacks should not be the place you

Yes, and I will reiterate that Hypercard was optimized to use cards as records in a database. Livecode is not. If your apps are of this nature, you will want to move the data in your cards to some other storage method, then have one card per "form" in your stack, loading the data as needed.

BR, assuming you don't have a local server running: It is an essential difference whether you set the htmltext or set the URL of the widget. If the image is called in the htmltext then there is no way but using a dataURL (=inline image), no matter if it is an img tag or called in the style tag.
