There is no option to disable the Online Viewer in the DreamCard player,
since the Online Viewer is the only way to open a stack. That is the crux
of my complaint.
If the player gave people a normal open file dialog, it would be
easier. It took me a while to realize I had to hit the folder icon to open
a stack on the disk. It would also be nice if you could double click a
.rev file on Windows and have it launch the player. I think one problem
with this working is that the player on Windows isn't really just a
player. It is a short cut that is run with "-player."
If you double click the Authorware runtime, it presents a get file dialog
asking what to run. That would seem to be less confusing than the Online
Viewer. Perhaps it could have a button on the Get File dialog that says
"Browse Online Stacks" if the user spaces online are a common way to
distribute Dreamcard stacks.

The original question mentioned the Online Viewer launching. I don't
know about DreamCard, but it's probably the same as in Rev: all you
have to do is uncheck the Launch Rev Online box in the Preference
panel and it's gone. Soooooo... it isn't a problem.

One of the differences between Dreamcard and Revolution is
precisely this ability. I'm hard pressed to see how you have a
legitimate complaint here when the ability to solve it once and for
all is available. RunRev make Dreamcard available as an option for
those who don't want to purchase a full Revolution license; if they
made the two products identical, they'd have to charge the same for
them.
Or am i missing something really obvious here?

Yes, but it shouldn't oughta have to come down to that. I dislike
intervening screens when I open my stacks, or any program, for
that matter. It's just not polite behavior to jump into the
middle of things without being invited
