Hello all,
I'm experiencing some odd behaviour with my stack. I was working on an
application last night when I tried to select the Standalone Application
Settings. When I clicked on that menu option, nothing happened. After some
checking, I realised that none of the menus in the Revolution main toolbar were
working. Dutifully, I shut everything down and restarted.
When I opened the stack again, I found that not only were the menus not
functioning, but I couldn't use the right-click options on an object, nor would
the commands accessed from the Propery Inspector work. If I select an object on
the stack and use the CTRL+E command, the script editor comes up, but it's
blank.
Oddly, if I run the stack in Dreamcard viewer, it works just fine. If I open
Revolution and work on another stack, everything works as expected.
So it would seem that there's something wrong with just one .rev file, although
I can't figure out what. Is it possible for a .rev file to become corrupted?
Corruption of a stack file is possible, but extremely rare. I won't
even bother getting into the details again -- you can search the
archives for "corruption". In 8 years with the product I've only even
hear about two cases of true file corruption.
Slightly more frequent (perhaps as many as a dozen cases over 8 years)
is the corruption of data in an image object. In such cases merely
replacing the image object will bring all behaviors back to normal.
Fortunately it seems neither of these are related to your issue, since
you note that the same stack file works great in Dreamcard. If the stack
is fine, the stack is fine.
Your description above says that the stack even worked fine in Rev until
you selected the "Standalone Application Settings" item. So it seems
the stack is fine there too, the problem being something with the
Standalone Applications Settings stack or mode.
I don't build my standalones in Rev so I can't offer much guidance
there, but at least I can offer 99.999% assurances that, based on your
description, your stack file is fine and the only problem is the
behavior of Rev's Standalone Application Settings.
