My tip on the value of using stack files for data storage assumes that
the stack file has had its filename property set to an appropriate

I just thought of an interesting possibility: if the stack is included
in the engine folder and a script sets the filename to the documents
folder, will that copy it there?

If someone gets a chance to try this before I do, I'd like to know. Not
that it would be any faster than just using the copy or "save stack as"
command.

I imagine it would. I often just clone a template stack and set its
filename to whatever destination I need, then use the save command.

I was wondering if it would work without the "clone" part. I.e., since the engine folder can't be changed, would it just make a copy or would we get an error? Have to try it I guess.
