Delete a card

Post by Neurox66 » Fri Aug 02, 2013 3:01 pm

Hi,
I use the cards to manage a small database.
It works fine when I add or edit a card
But when I delete a card, this card not deleted permanently in the standalone version.
Is it possible resolve this problem?

Thanks

A standalone can't modify itself in this way (no changes to a standalone get saved)

The way to get around this is to have your standalone be a launcher/splash screen that then launches a another stack. You can do any editing you want to that stack and save it whenever you want.

The way to do that is to have a "go stack" command that points to a stack that you have bundled into your application.

I believe you can bundle using the "Stacks" or the "Copy Files" section of the Standalone Application Settings, although I cannot be sure.
