Hi Francis,
Keep in mind that *.app is not a file but a folder. The stack is
somewhere inside that folder. The path returned by the (effective)
filename is correct.
Best,
Mark

Hi from Brittany (spring is coming and the mimosa will be out soon),
I'm running Revolution 3.0 on an Intel iMac.
I create a stack called Mainstack which I store in a folder.
You would guess correctly if you thought it was a splashstack.
In "openStack", when I execute the command "put the filename
of this stack into field MyStackName",
I read "/Revolution/RawStacks/MainStack.rev" which is perfectly
normal, because that is where the stack is. I can strip out the
stack name to get the path to the folder.
I compile this stack into a standalone on my desktop, with one
option "Intel Only". This standalone is now in a folder "MainStack"
containing a file "MainStack.app"
I move the file "MainStack.app" into another folder which contains all
my compiled standalone stacks.
When I execute the command "put the filename of this stack into field
MyStackName", I expect to see "/Revolution/StandaloneStacks/
MainStack.app",
because that is where the stack is. I need this path, because I
want to
be able to call one of the standalones from MainStack (choosing
from a list)
Instead, I read "/Revolution/StandaloneStacks/MainStack.app/
Contents/MacOS/MainStack".
Where did this path come from ? Of course, I can always throw away
the part
of the path "/Contents/MacOS/MainStack", but this doesn't satisfy
my curiosity .....
I imagine (haven't tested it yet) that this part of the path will
be different
if I move to a PC. What rules govern the creation of this path ?
I see from the Rev Dictionary that the "filename of stack" is
different for a
standalone - "the filename of stack property reports the name and
location of
the application". Why is "Name and location" different from "Path" ?
Thanks for any pointers.
-Francis
