Rev 2.6.1

Greetings,

Do I need to be setting the "purge stack on close" and "purge window
on close" properties?

Thanks,
-Garrett

you seem to know the answer already, maybe you need to clarify your question?

I honestly don't know. I assumed "close this stack" was enough, but then
I see the options for the properties in question on the ide and wonder if
they are manditory for when the user is completely finished with a rev
made program.

Hi Garett,

There's no real reason to set those properties, except to save RAM - when you close a stack and the purge stack property is true, reopening the stack will be the same as a 'revert' (unless you saved the stack first).

If those properties are false, the stack is retained in memory, and any (user) change to them is still around. So it depends on your purpose.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.

I see. It's for use with multiple stacks in one program and not required
when the user quits the entire program.

Thank you
