Nobaday,
I frequently create a folder called "Inbox" for this. That's where unprocessed files go. When I process them, I move them to another folder. That way I don't have very long lists of file names to search through or sort, especially if I need to frequently check for new files.

I guess I'm back to this discussion from last month:

Thanks. Bangkok, "owner" gives the owner of the handler in the receiving stack. Richard, thanks, same thing, "executionContexts" in the handler only gives info about the receiving stack. On behaviors, how would that work? Would the behavior live in the stack that will eventually receive the message?...

Thanks Craig. No. Here's a better description. I have a number of utility stacks I use when parsing multilingual and/or multimedia content, for things like vocabulary testing, significant phrase or named entity identification, spell checking, statistics, protocol compliance, etc. They are each indep...

My concern is the use of the word "financial" in the definitions of "round" and "statRound", and in the description of "statRound, where the first paragraph describes rounding to integers while the second paragraph describes rounding to fractions - "statRound" acts "half to even" rounding to integer...

Note that the statRound DOES discuss this: The statRound function performs statistical rounding. If the number is exactly halfway between two numbers, statRound rounds the number to the nearest even integer. (To round off numbers such numbers upward, as is the convention for financial applications, ...

This might be a bug. I looked at a few descriptions of financial rounding and it should probably round up if the preceding number is odd and round down when it is even ("rounding to even"), in the case of a tie-breaker (ie "5"). LC seems to always round down the absolute value (ie 65 rounds to 60, a...

I'm having a senior moment...

If I use Send, Call, or Dispatch between independent stacks, how does the message handler identify the source of the message? I know I've seen it somewhere (I've used it in the past) but now can't recall the answer...

Thanks, Walt

Richard, I agree, think it would make it a bit easier if there were fewer categories. Some thoughts - I frequently look via search or the "new", "unread", or "my posts" rather than by category anyway. Additionally, many questions are asked when a person is either searching or has a thought triggered...

Craig, I seem to have lost whatever it is, partially. I still crash on demand in 5.5.5 and 6.6.2 with the stack in question, but I no longer crash on save in 7.0.3 or 8.0. If it becomes a problem again in the later versions of LC, I'll revisit this.

Thanks Craig, I hadn't thought of that. I'll see if I can put the two together.

Thanks Richard, I'll keep that in mind for next time. This stack only had two text fields, one card, and a pretty hefty set of text parsing functions in the stack script. I'm chalking it up for now to a stray neutrino since my new stack has saved successfully 30-40 times so far.

Thanks, gc. I've been bitten by that more than once. I remember my first hard drive - 3 rack modules high, about 50 pounds, dual drives of a whopping 2 MB each, $4500 in early 80's! The bad blocks had to be manually mapped periodically since new ones showed up every couple months. RT-11 had to prete...

Thanks Jacque. I stripped out all the field contents, and it continued to crash. I would have liked to find out the footprint of the crash, but instead I stripped out all my scripts with a hex editor, deleted all the offending stacks, and started a new stack from scratch. So far no crash. I'm saving...

I have a stack I've been working on for a few days. Today, more than half the time I tried to Save the stack, LC freezes, leaving a corrupted stack, and an old backup version. This happens on 5.5.5, 6.0.2, and 7.0.3. Looking at the corrupted stack in Notepad++, all the scripts are present, but they ...
