I'm having a problem- If Rev Studio (3.5.0) is not running and I try to open a stack, it opens just fine.
However, if Revolution is already open I get "Unable to open stack, stack is corrupted, check for ~ backup file"
If I quit Revolution and then try that second stack first it opens fine- but the other one now gives the error. So a first stack opens, but any subsequent stack will not open.
I have Revolution Media on this computer and the same thing happens there.

I have no problem on my office computer.

Both are Macs, but the one with the problem has Snow Leopard. Could that be related?

Also, I can't seem to switch the default application for .rev files- the default keeps returning to Revolution-Media.app
I don't know if this is related.

Hello Ron....

I am experiencing the same problem... If I already have a stack open I can't double-click on the icon of another stack to open it.
You can open the other stack by going 'File > Open Stack...' from Revolution.

be well

Hi friends,

yes this is a known bug with Snow Leopard.

Only solutiuon: don't doubleclick
Use the "File: Open..." menu or drag and drop the stack onto the Dock icon.

Stack Launcher is a simple, small application that launches your stacks. It was made to work around an incompatibility of Revolution with Mac OS X 10.6. Just use Finder's Info window to tell Finder to open your stack with this launcher rather than Revolution.

This application isn't perfect, yet. Please, give feedback to make it better!

Download Stack Launcher at http://economy-x-talk.com/developers.html (bottom of page). You can put the Launcher anywhere inside your application folder, e.g. inside your Revolution Enterprise folder.

Stack Launcher is freeware.

Best regards,

I can deal with it now that I know that I'm not alone- that means a solution will be forthcoming. If it were just my system I would be frustrated.

BTW, dragging the second file to the dock doesn't work either- Only the menu File > Open method works.

Thanks,

Ron

Thanks from me too. I thought I was losing work

But now there is a solution - thank you for the launcher

Also using snow leopard - the update to Rev 4 crashes. A fix for this?
