I'm just clarifying for myself what happens to a stack when its Main Stack property is changed.

Scenario:
Main stack "YellowStack" is opened and saved.
Main stack "BlueStack" is opened and saved.

Now, in BlueStack's stack inspector I change its MainStack property to "YellowStack." BlueStack is "subsumed" as a substack of YellowStack, while its original incarnation, BlueStack, remains on disk as a main stack, in its last saved state?

Is this accurate?

I'd say so. However, if rev crashes now, yellow stack on the disk won't have a substack either :)

One of the most strangest thing I had to get in regards to rev, is the multiple kinds of stacks.

here a list i wrote on the forum once:

1 Stacks are files
2 Stacks are part of files when they're called mainstacks and substacks
3 Each stack file has exactly one mainstack
4 A stack file can have many substacks
5 A mainstack and it's substacks which are an executable can't be saved
6 Mainstacks and substacks can also exist only in memory, without being within files or executables

Your problem sounds like it's covered by the last point...
