Jacques. I see. I was cavalier in using the term "substack", which is a defined LC term. Adding a stack file to a stack in the "Standalone Application Settings" stack does not a substack make. Craig In a message dated 12/1/10 7:03:40 PM, jac...@hyperactivesw.com writes: > We need an offic

Hi Ton, Mainstack.app is a folder! Right-click on it and choose "Show Packet Contents" from the popup menu. You should find your substack if you dig deeper in the nested folders inside Mainstack.app. You may *think* that you are decompressing compressed data, but if Rev tells you it isn't comp

The .app is a package (aka special folder) if you right click the .app file in finder and show package contents, the substack should be in there somewhere. Is it possible your updater is looking for it in the wrong place? Also, since when you make the standalone, it shows the substack as a separa

I thought that a substack of the main stack was part of the standalone, and therefore not modifiable? I think that you should not have the real stack a substack of the splash stack, but rather an included file. Then all should go as planned. Bob On Dec 1, 2010, at 10:58 AM, Ton Cardona wrote

Hi everyone, I have a splash stack that owns a substack that has over 3.500 custom props. When I compile, in Windows I get the mainstack (.exe) and its substack (.rev). Works fine and updates all right. In Mac OS X (v. 10.6.5) I only get one .app: works fine, but shows errors when downloading
