Twitchy finger syndrome

Cripes . . .

Here I am with a shed-load of 6-8 year old blobs working with standalones of mine on ancient PCs running Xubuntu 18.04
(last Xubuntu version available for 32-bit processors) and, because they are of the post "I want it now" generation
they click and click and click on the start icon of a standalone so as many as 12 instances launch.

Is there some sort of code that can be written inwith the original stack so only one instance of a standalone will launch?

I would mention relaunch, but apparently that is not universal.

Hi Richmond,

add a dummy handler to the stackscript of your standalone:

Code: Select all

on relaunch
  ## Info: Will only work on Windows
  ## But won't hurt on Mac and NIX
end relaunch

That's it!

Great: I'll run off a standalone and give it a try.

Klaus is giving a great example of burying a message. It is similar to:

Code: Select all

on  mouseUp
end mouseUp

Buries that message, and the question becomes where to put it.
