The approach I take is to use getorop and set prop handlers for this. The data
is then seperated from the code and Ibuse one standardised technique for
accessing a model:
out the model_Data of stack stackName into someData

Persistence is essential in many contexts. But is it necessary that
data be bound to code?
Sometimes it is. When it is, is it necessary that the file format be text?

True, but with properties, I can envision a use case for persistent values
between sessions. This is quite separate from GUI objects. By saving and

Stacks can also contain controls, each of which can be expressed as an

Hmmm… If that is the case then theoretically, on closeStack the new properties
could be arrayEncoded and saved to disk, and then on openStack they could be

When a script only stack is opened, LC creates a temporary stack and plops
the script into it. At that point its just like any other library stack.
You could add images, controls, other scripts, custom props, anything. The
only difference is that when the stack closes, the text of the stack scri
