Hi David,
If I understand correctly :-)
You can use the files function in order to parse the file names, sort
the list and and get easily the current higher increment.
May be an All files function (that returns all file names in all sub
folders) can help you.
If so, tell me off list.
Best Regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.

I'm attempting to add a bit of "smarts" to the Save As Standalone
function. When I save a standalone to the same location on my hard
drive, If Revs finds a previous folder with the same base name, it
dutifully increments the number. I.e. if I have a few previous
versions I get a set of folders like this (assuming the base name
is "revstack 1.0a"):
/Users/myname/Desktop/revstack 1.0a/
/Users/myname/Desktop/revstack 1.0a1/
/Users/myname/Desktop/revstack 1.0a2/
/Users/myname/Desktop/revstack 1.0a3/
etc.
Now inside each of these folders is the actual application saved
under the base name - something like this:
/Users/myname/Desktop/revstack 1.0a/revstack 1.0a.exe
/Users/myname/Desktop/revstack 1.0a1/revstack 1.0a.exe
/Users/myname/Desktop/revstack 1.0a2/revstack 1.0a.exe
/Users/myname/Desktop/revstack 1.0a3/revstack 1.0a.exe
What I want to do is include a version number (which is stored in a
field in the stack) as part of the application name. so I could get
something like this:
/Users/myname/Desktop/revstack 1.0a/revstack 1.0a12.exe
/Users/myname/Desktop/revstack 1.0a1/revstack 1.0a13.exe
/Users/myname/Desktop/revstack 1.0a2/revstack 1.0a14.exe
/Users/myname/Desktop/revstack 1.0a3/revstack 1.0b1.exe
(I'm not too worried about the enclosing folder at this point - but
that might be nice too...)
My basic approach was to use a shell command to rename the file
with my version info. I was going to use the Standalonesaved msg to
automate the whole thing, but ran into a problem in that the
standalonesaved msg doesn't return the increment number that
revolution adds to the enclosing folder (Desktop in this case) -
i.e. I don't know how many previous versions might already exist in
the directory I'm saving to. This makes deriving a path much more
complex.
I suppose I could use a shell script to delete any folders that
might already exist with the base name and then things might work...
Any comments/suggestions/help would be appreciated. (Oh yes, I'm on
a Mac OS X and saving Windows Standalones...)
Thanks, David
