Hi Mark,

I agree with that principle.

saved in standalone format that there was no need to create a splash

If you need to save data changes then you need
separate substacks; or create a splashscreen

While we're on the subject of saving data from a standalone, there seems
to be an intermittent bug on a Mac OSX version of a standalone where the
closeStackrequest and shutdownRequest handlers are ignored. So if you

Also, we shouldn't ignore the idea of saving data in a stack, rather
than a text document. Not a substack, but a separate, faceless stack,
that simply has your data in it's custom props, and mixing binary
and text data is then possible, too. The size of an empty stack is
about 4 Kb.
