Yeah, I was being too Mac-centric. On second thought though, maybe knowing the drive name isn't necessary. A copied app could easily be on a thumb drive.

Hi Jacque, Thanks, but - I'm a bit lost..What's a volume name? and how would it work (in simple logic terms, if that's possible..) Put this in a button or handler in your stack: put the filename of this stack Then look at the response in the message box. The volume name is the disk name. If the nam...

SparkOut wants to be my brother.

The wait method probably works. I usually set the traversalOn of the card to false on preopencard and set it back to true with a send command at the end of opencard. A millisecond or two is usually enough of a lag.

The filename of the stack should include the volume name.

Replace carriage returns with numToChar(11). This is a soft return which shows a blank line but treats the text as a single paragraph. Note that if you need to count lines, it will report the both visible paragraphs as a single line.

I should note that I didn't even test my suggestion so I'm not due for any credit yet.

Here's another untested idea. Tooltips are removed on mouseleave, so try this:

I did a quick look at the requirements and I think these probably relate to the main functions of your app, which I think does music playback, right? The timestamp one specifically mentions audio playback calculations. If your app stores any data on the device, that would explain the diskspace requi...

What we should be looking for instead is what explains the surge in beginner numbers between 2006 and 2013. I wonder if it has something to do with Supercard's limitations. Also, devoted HC users were starting to realize their Macs would no longer support their HC stacks. I had a lot of conversion ...

I suspect the problem isn't corruption, but if the new stacks fail in the same way then I'd be happy to take a look at them and see if I can find the problem. Or send them now if you want to avoid reproducing everything.

Not lucky. Reasonable and logical, like a good programmer. Congratulations.

When you made the substack into a mainstack, did you also save the original mainstack? If not, then the substack may still be there. I believe LC moves the substack out to a new mainstack and deletes the one embedded in the first mainstack, but if you don't save it the substack will remain. Try this...

You've probably looked at this but just in case: https://lessons.livecode.com/a/1770871- ... -checklist

There used to be a lesson on causes of the error you're getting but I couldn't find it.

There is no syntax error in the reported statement. Can we see the whole handler that opens the second stack?

It may be that LC is looking for the stack in the defaultfolder, which is normally LC's application folder. But in that case I'd expect a "can't find stack" error.

She was not a well person. I think many of us received unfounded accusations about imagined offenses.
