The other way to force the card to be selected is to double click somewhere where there are no visible objects. This will open the Card Inspector at which point the menus will work accordingly. Bob S > On Sep 21, 2017, at 16:12 , Bob Sneidar via use-livecode > wrote: > > Ill be dammed. Gob

Ill be dammed. Gobsmacked. It appears that the menu *ought* to change contextually when you click on a card, but doesn't. Right clicking on the card seems to force the IDE to focus on the card itself. Neat trick. It also reveals that the IDE was written and intended to allow cut/copy/paste/dupli

Just thought I'd try this out and see if there is another option. If you right click on a card and dismiss the pop-up menu, then the edit menu changes to "Cut Card", "Copy Card", "Clear Card", and "Duplicate Card" although Clear and Duplicate don't seem to do anything. Probably not much more effi

Thanks, Richard. I guess I could do that for specific elements on a card too. Pretty simple. I had expected I could just cut and paste from the project browser. Just coding it is easy too. Bill P William A. Prothero http://earthlearningsolution.org/ > On Sep 21, 2017, at 7:57 AM, Dr. Hawkins vi

Best way to copy from one stack to another

Folks: With all of the new versions and capabilities being added to livecode, I have found need to copy parts of one stack which is older, to a new stack, which is new and better. I have found it difficult to use cut and paste to copy groups or other elements from one stack to another using the
