This, from the Dictionary: If the wait..with messages form is used, LiveCode continues normal processing during the wait.

Re: Screen updating.

I wonder if, in that case, you should wait, but not with messages as I feel the second call of the function is one of the messages that might get in the way of the first call.

Mind you, you can save data to, say, a text file.

Re: LC makes my stack a substack

Just to be awkward, and return to the original posting:

Why can't one of the stacks be a substack of the other one?

Re: Send the Stack to the Center of the screen.

I'm a little puzzled by the slippage of your revMenuBar though
Whose revMenuBar would you be referring to? Your comment is a bit decontextualised.

Re: LC makes my stack a substack

OK, OK: probably I am being a bit stupid as usual, so please could you explain HOW you open the second stack from the first stack? - Screenshot 2024-03-26 at 14.39.46.png - As THAT does something very odd indeed: - Screenshot 2024-03-26 at 14.42.12.png - I have NO idea what that stack "revCo..." is....

Re: Rename an Icon?

What IS obvious is that once an image is imported into a stack its ID is immutable. So, the only way an image could appear to have changed its ID is if it is not the original image at all but a copy of it. For instance, if I set up a single card stack with a single image: - Screenshot 2024-03-26 at ...

Re: Rename an Icon?

I made a second CARD in my stack, with a new BUTTON, and assigned the same image as in the button on the first card to it: - Screenshot 2024-03-26 at 12.26.08.png - No obvious problems there (image ID still 1003).

Re: Rename an Icon?

Set up a button big enough to accommodate my first image (ID 1003) as an icon:

And that seems all as it should be (ID is still 1003):

Re: Rename an Icon?

Now: at the risk of spoiling some people's fun, an on-topic comment: and a very boring one at that . . . lots of words going down; so I thought I'd do something "babyish" instead: 1. Set up a stack and imported an image into it, and found that the ID assigned to that image was 1003: - Screenshot 202...
