Standalone Maker bug

Post by maxs » Sat Feb 24, 2007 8:35 am

Does anyone know of a bug in rev 2.6.1 which causes an error message preventing building a SA. ? It has to do with deselecting some button to get it working again.

Dear Maxs,

Which error message do you see, exactly?

Dear Maxs,

This could be anything, of course. Insufficient write permissions, an invalid stack name, a stackfile name not ending in ".rev", or corrupt standalonesettings custom properties.

A stack name should not include particular characters. All characters a-z and 0-1 are alright, but the name should not start with a number.

If your stackfile name does not end in ".rev", close your stack, make sure that your stack is no longer in memory, change the name into <stackname>.rev and reopen.

If properties are corrupt, turn on "Revolution UI Elements in Lists" in the View menu. Go to the custom properties pane of the stack property inspector of your mainstack. Delete the custom properties set cRevStandaloneSettings.

Best regards,
