Re: open stack

Ah, yes, thank you. It looks like the defaultFolder must have been wrong. Manually setting it to the same folder as the stack works. I'm getting deja vu...like I complained about how the error message should mention that it failed because it couldn't find the file in the folder where it looked, in

Re: open stack

Really; that's nothing; we used to program with lumps of brown, squidgy stuff we fished out of the open sewers. Of course this probably says a lot about the standard of my coding . . . R. On 24.08.2016 01:40, Devin Asay wrote: On Aug 23, 2016, at 3:27 PM, stephen barncard wrote: Imagine wr
