In one of my apps I'm taking advantage of Rev 2.8.1's improved menu
updating to revise how I handle menu enabling and disabling.

It's all working swell, with one exception:  What do I do when a file
selection dialog is up, such as with "answer file" and "ask file"?

Hi Richard,

This is a problem I have encountered also. By the way... why do we even need to deal with this? In most (all?) apps on the Mac, when a modal is up the menus are all disabled. I assume this is a HIG thing. I always thought that the definition of a modal was that nothing could be done except deal with the modal. In rev, modals are not literally modals if the menus are still available.

To answer your question about what to do, how about something like this:

get the openstacks
repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of it
if line x of it is "mystack" then
  next repeat
else
  close stack (line x of it)
end repeat

or

get the openstacks
if the number of lines of it >1 then disableAllMenus
