In a preOpenCard handler I cannot find the name of the recent card - the card that you "came from". As far as i can tell this is a very basic bug that goes back to at least version 7.
Does anyone have a work around The only thing i can think of is to do my own logging in an openCard or closeCard handler. is there a sane reason why preOpenCard is not reporting the value correctly or another way to get the value of the recent card?
