I've built a standalone (for Mac OS X) with editable fields. Users can add information in these fields.The short answer is No - there is no way to save data without using an external file of some sort. The external file can be a text file or it can be a stack that is stored as a separate file rather than being built into your application. In OS X this still looks neat as you can hide the data stack inside the OS X bundle.
How can I save the new content of these fields so that when the standalone is reopened this new text is still visible to other users?
is there aonther solution than saving the content in a text file and then retrieving it. Is there a possiblity to save this text without using an external file?
Thanks for any help.
A common way to achieve this is to make a splash-screen application where the mainStack is just a splash screen or static display and all data is entered on sub-stacks. When building, check the option to save sub-stacks separately and they will remain as separate files which can be saved to store any new data. The actual application (the mainStack and the Rev engine) is read-only so no changes can ever be saved to it.
The only thing to be wary of is that if the data is crucial, it should perhaps be stored in the user's documents folder rather than with the application. If it is preference data, it should be stored in the Preferences folder. The user should be able to delete the application and re-install without losing data!
