You're right, these are temporary backup stacks. They are created in the
same directory as the original stack, and when a save is successful they
are supposed to be deleted from the hard drive. I've never seen dimmed
icons like you describe so I'm not sure what's going on. But on a guess,
maybe you could just ask Rev to open the file.
If you see a dimmed icon in the Finder called "test.rev~" you should be
able to determine the file path either by checking the directory
drop-down menu in the Finder window, or by assuming it is in the same
folder as the original "test.rev" stack. Then in the message box:
put there is a file "/folder/folder/test.rev~"
If that's true, then you should be able to open the file directly:
go stack "/folder/folder/test.rev~"
And then you can do a Save As to a known location.
If the result of the existence check is false, then the Finder is trying
to display a file that no longer exists, and I'm not sure how that could
happen. The backup file isn't supposed to exist, assuming the original
save went smoothly, so that part's right. I wonder if the Finder
directory has somehow become confused.
