Hi Paul,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
I've just looked at this and it would seem that the cause is that the
'stackFileType' global property is being inadvertently set to 'MacOS'
- rather than 'RevoRSTK' or 'MCRDMSTK'. The 'stackFileType' global
property (which is readable and writeable) determines the creator and
file type codes that stacks are saved with.
(The reason for existence of this property is so that developers
producing systems in Revolution that base their file-format on
Revolution stacks can tie their files to their environment, rather
than the Revolution or MetaCard IDE)
If you do:
set the stackFileType to "RevoRSTK"
in the message box on startup all stacks saved in that session should
then have the appropriate file type and creator code set. (Of course,
we will fix this underlying default issue - this is just to help make
life easier for you in the mean-time).
In terms of opening stacks, then do remember you can choose to
display 'All Files', instead of just those identified by either a
'.rev' extension, a '.mc' extension or a 'RevoRSTK', or 'MCRDMSTK'
file/creator type.
Also, Revolution itself does not use either the extension nor the
creator or file-type to determine whether a file is a Revolution
stack or not. Instead, it checks the header to see if it conforms to
the file-format. This means that the engine will attempt to load any
file you give it as a stack file - and it will return an appropriate
error message if it finds that it is not.
Warmest Regards,
Mark.

This has got to be a bug. The plist for Rev 2.7 still lists "RSTK"
as the proper file type, and the creator code is still "Revo".
I looked at a newly saved stack and saw that the creator was
"MacO" and the file type was "ST<littlebox>K". It is the incorrect
file type that will prevent stacks from opening, but the creator
code needs to be fixed as well.
Can you bugzilla this for us?
