Re: Garbage Collection/Old Data in stack

You have 20+ unplaced groups present in the stack, many of which contain images, which is why you have 2+ MB in file size. Not sure if there’s a programmatic way to remove them, but if you place each one and then delete it, you’ll eventually remove them from the stack. Regards, Scott Rossi Cr

If the client machine can see the file in the Finder while it sits on the server machine, an easy way to get it’s path is to open Terminal and drag it’s icon into Terminal. Terminal will write out the path. You can copy the path and use it as long as the client can see the server in the Finder.

I'm trying to figure out screen math to set the top of a helper stack to the top of a field, and the like. The math doesn't seem to make sense. It would *seem* to me that the top of this stack + the top of me should give the top of the field in screen coordinates. But it doesn't So I tried
