Well, as the stack contained only my squiggle on a single card, YES.

I drew a lot of "very artistic" squiggles with the paintbrush on a stack and saved it.

When I reopened my creation everything had gone.

While I can do this sort of thing by opening the revmenubar.livescript file in a text editor relatively easily, most beginners are not going to be able to: although it would be nice if they had a stack that let them switch between light and dark mode in such a way that their copy of LiveCode would r...

Portativity.

that makes the mods to the revMenubar stack after it's been instantiated

That is exactly what I am trying to avoid,

Many years ago I wrote a stack to modify the revMenBar stack on the fly to make it horizontal, vertical, black, blue and sky-blue-pink. The revMenuBar is generated from a script-only stack: I should like to have a way where end-users of the LC IDE can modify the appearance of the revMenuBar so that ...

LC, being single-threaded

You'd think that'd make sense: but I wonder as 2 stacks are involved . . .

Presumably your PDF creation script needs a wait statement in it until the whole process has completed.

That is part of what I meant. But, just as a script-only stack can create another stack with lots of controls, I want to know if one can reverse the process where a "stack with lots of controls" can be saved as a script-only stack in such a fashion that on that script-only stack being opened inwith ...

is not possible with a "script-only" stack.

The menuBar.livecodescript script-only stack generates the LC menuBar.

saveAS.png - While I understand it is comparatively straightforward to write a script-only stack in a text editor . . . . . . I wonder if there is a way to convert a stack into a script-only stack. It is entirely possible, also, to edit a script-only stack using a text editor (I know, I have done t...

Can anyone explain why the materials on this webpage are all no more modern than LiveCode 8?

Indeed, all you need is ASCII 11 and no overlays or anything else.
