Re: Standalone Settings Frustration

What I did was delete the line from the “stacks” list in the Standalone settings panel, closed the panel, then added it back. The filename was ok. Anyway, I got it fixed, but it was frustrating. Bill > On Apr 4, 2018, at 5:32 PM, Mike Bonner via use-livecode > wrote: > > Just a guess, but if

Folks: I am on livecode 9.0.0 app, Mac 10.13.3. I have a splash stack and several stacks that it loads. I have one stack I originally named “MAP Display”. I was having troubles making a standalone, as the file seemed to not be found. So, I figured maybe it doesn’t like blanks in the stack name.
