My main stack uses stored properties to load other stacks. As near as I can tell, a file didn't exist, but the director for it did.. The result for this one of many is that the application browser shows the file as a loaded main stack but clicking to open it causes it to disappear from that pane. It's a rarely used stack so it took a long time to notice and gives me no warning either that the load failed to succeed or that there is no stack as I click. I also see that when I have stack mystic of stack.a.livecode loaded, then save it as stack.b.livecode, and even ad an explicit close for the old filename, that it tends to lurk somewhere, and give the "what do you want to do with stack.b.ivecode before loading stack.a.livecode" when a should be gone. The only solution I've found is to quit and restart livecode -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
