Good point. You could always put "save this stack" in the handler so the file on disk is the same as the file in memory, but then you wouldn't have the flexibility of your approach.

Hi Bill,

Actually, if you duplicate the file on disk, you'll not get a copy of the current stack 'they are working on' (as you say) but a copy of the stack as it was last saved.
So you might prefer to clone the stack and save this clone.
BTW it's not an easy process (above all when the main stack has substacks) since Rev does not accept to have two stacks with the same name in memory. So you have to rename temporarily all stacks to save a real clone (all stacks names included and not 'copy of') Probably the 'SaveProjects' handler in the card of my 'Backups Picker' plugin might get you started to achieve this.

I want to be able to have the user easily make a copy of the stack they are working on as a way to backup the stack. This would be something like "Save a Copy".

However, I don't want to change the active path of the stack. I still want the stack they are working on to stay put and be the working stack.

The following button script doesn't work and gives this error
        Chunk: source is not a container

on mouseUp
  answer folder "Select destination folder for backup: "
  if it is not "Cancel" then
    revCopyFile this stack, it
  end if
end mouseUp

How can I make this work?
