Saving script only stacks during development

[pthirkell]

Many thanks Mark for most helpful blog on script only stacks, and highlighting that they are in fact simply "text only" files (albeit with the .livecode file extension). I would like to understand how such stacks should be saved during development of an app so as to benefit from the version control advantages described in the blog.

Normally I would start using library stacks that I have created as substacks, which when the mainstack is saved creates a single file including the substacks (as I understand it). If however the library stacks have been created as script only stacks, then should they be saved separately from the mainstack during development, and loaded each time when the mainstack is opened? Presumably once development of a given version is completed, all of these script only library stacks would be loaded as substacks and saved out as a single file.

Tks any clarification.
