I have an app in which users create documents (stacks) that auto-save when
they're closed. I have a a few customers who are getting corrupted stacks every
once in a while. At least in a couple of cases they are saving to a network
server or over an internet connection. In some cases it seems to occur when
they quit with a stack open. I've attempted to script around this by checking
for the tilde version of the file and if it exists to pause quitting.
I would say the stack size varies between 1 to 5 mb in size. App build with LC
9.5.1 and a mix of Mac and Windows standalones.
Does anyone have any input with my shutdown routine? Ways of making it more
robust?
Local sMyTildeFilename
on shutDownRequest
Global gOpenDocument,gLastDocumentOpen
--gOpenDocument contains the name of a currently open stack (if any)
--gLastDocumentOpen contains the fileName of the last open stack
--in case it was closed before quitting
if gOpenDocument is among the lines of the openStacks then
put the fileName of stack gOpenDocument & "~" into sMyTildeFilename
save stack gOpenDocument
close stack gOpenDocument
else put gLastDocumentOpen & "~" into sMyTildeFilename
--Don't allow quit until the temp file is deleted:
if there is a file sMyTildeFilename then
send quit to me in 1 second
else pass shutDownRequest --Lets it quit
end shutDownRequest
