That's the question of the century that has puzzled most of us. I always tap Purge and it
works. As far as I know:
Cancel: don't load the new stack, keep the open one, do nothing else
Purge: close the open one and remove from memory, open the new stack
Save: It's unclear. Save the new one and leave it open? Save it and close it? Save, remove from
memory, and open the new one? Probably the latter.

Hi all,
Can someone give the definitive answer as to what to choose when I save my
stack with a save as to create a new iterative version and it comes up with
the prompt :
A stack with the same name as the one you are trying to load is
already open.
Save Purge Cancel
Whatever I do it ends up in a loop of asking this. I'm bored of having to
force close LC to get over this. What is supposed to happen if I press
Save? What is supposed to happen if I press Purge? And what about Cancel?
I've never understood the need for purge AND save. Purge from what? Save
and close? purge and close? It's just not clear to me as a long time user
let alone a new user.
Btw, just to avoid unnecessary responses, I already know I can just make a
copy in the finder, clear LC memory and load that one in. My question is
just trying to get an understanding of this prompt.
Thanks
Sean
