LiveCode Forums

I have been using a converted Hypercard stack with Revolution and now LiveCode for about four years. It is on a Mac. I update it daily with the date at the top of the end card of the stack -- it is my notebook. The first of the year (yesterday), the stack suddenly reverted to a December 18 version and the .rev at the end of it changed to .livecode suffix at the end of the file. The last days from 12/18 to 12/31 are missing. The file size if 8.6 MB. Is there some limit I have passed with this one that requires I delete cards or start it over?

Hi Kay,

1. welcome to the forum!

2. how many cards does that stack have?
Unlike HyperCard, Livecode will load the complete stack into memory.

More than a thousand, I'm sure., and maybe twice that many since I don't have entries every day, but some days I can have up to 8 of them for different meetings. It is my business notebook starting in 2009.

If this is the likely problem, I started fixing it last night. I fortunately had a backup from Dec 28, and I deleted the ones from 2009. The overall stack size went from 8.6MB to 7.4 MB, so it was a noticeable reduction. It does seem to be OK now with the reduced one.

Thanks for the pointer.

The .livecode suffix came in when what was called "Runtime Revolution" changed its name to "Livecode".

All this probably means is that you opened your stack in a post 4.5 version and did a "Save As".
