Re: Garbage Collection/Old Data in stack

I have to ask . . . how does one end up with unplaced groups? Once a group has been placed on a card and is then removed from all cards on which it appeared, it is unplaced. The group remains in the stack so it can be used again. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI

Re: Garbage Collection/Old Data in stack

Just tried the following script in a button in your Test3 stack file: on mouseUp get the revUnplacedGroupIDs of stack "GolfDay FL" repeat for each line rID in it delete group id rID of stack "GolfDay FL" end repeat end mouseUp The saved the stack. It's now 9kbytes in size. Pete

Re: Garbage Collection/Old Data in stack

Hi Ralph, There's an undocumented property of a stack named revUnplacedGroupIDs. See what it shows for your stack You should be able to repeat through the lines in that property and delete the group ids listed in it. Pete lcSQL Software Home of lcStackBrowser

Re: Garbage Collection/Old Data in stack

There isn’t any list of unplaced groups. The reason I was able to tell the groups were not placed is because all visible objects had been removed from the sample stack. There Go to the Object menu under Place Group to see groups that can be placed on the current card. Anything in the list th

Re: Garbage Collection/Old Data in stack

Look at item “place groups” in object menu (and to delete groups, don’t use “remove group” but place the group somewhere, select it and edit -> clear). > Le 18 janv. 2015 à 16:19, Dr. Hawkins a écrit : > > On Sat, Jan 17, 2015 at 10:06 PM, Scott Rossi > wrote: > >> You have 20+ unplaced group

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

RE: Garbage Collection/Old Data in stack

There are no objects except for the 1 blank card. I wonder how many other stacks out there are experiencing this creep of orphan object/properties. I just happen to find them because I did not want to redo all my standalone setting for mobile splash pages when creating a stub stack. I just deleted
