Could there be trouble with file permissions? E.g. If the stack is inside the bundle on OsX?


There shouldn't be. The revert command just reads the file - and the application had to do the same thing when it started up. If there's a problem with read permissions for the file, it will exist every time the user runs the application, even without downloading a new copy.

i am sure Malte meant eventual problem with WRITE permissions inside an OS X bundle.


What about that?

Anyway, i would recommend to store stack that might be replaced/ updated into some
other place like where you DO have write permissions:


##Mac OS X/OS 9
specialfolderpath("preferences")
##Prefs folder of current user

##Mac OS X:
specialfolderpath("asup")
##Application Support

##Win 2000/XP
specialfolderpath(35)
##Don't know the english name of this folder, sorry...

##Win 95,96,97,98
specialfolderpath("system")
##a.k.a the black hole: "C:\Windows" :-)

##Unix/Linux
$HOME
##(Homefolder of current user)
