Hi, all. Two questions about standalones... I'm building a desktop app as a standalone that will use separate stacks to store the user's work. A "New File" button creates the stack under a new name and saves it to the user's document area. When the user closes such a file, it looks like it still

Hi Tom, Closing a stack still leaves it in memory as you found. The delete stack command will remove it from memory as long as the stack you name is a main stack; for substacks, it literally deletes the substack. And yes, you'll have the issue with your prefs substack. I have taken to storing my

set the destroyStack property of the "document" stack to true before closing it. Don't worry, the stack file will not *actually* be destroyed. It's a bad name for the property. It should be called "purgeStack" imho. Preferences are trickier. You will need to know which platform you are running

You'd normally need to go to the stackfile name to open it again. The only way round that is to use the stackFiles property of your main stack. In it, you can specify a list of short stack names and the full path to the stack file. Then you can go to just the stack name and LC will resolve the r
