Hi. I have two monitors as well. And I use a key combination and a plug-in to reset the loc of the very stacks you mentioned, plus the SE. These change each time I save a stack.
The point being that I never have a problem saving, only that I have to reset the loc of the topStack and the others each time I do. More than worth it to have two monitors, though.

The IDE still uses the form of 'answer file' which specifies a creator/filetype and an extension. I suspect either one of: A) the creator/filetype is actually recognised by more recent versions of macOS (i.e. they are ignored completely - I don't recall a report against Mojave, but it is entirely possible Catalina no longer supports them) B) The file has just lost its creator/filetype and thus is being filtered out (this can happen if a file is archived via a format which doesn't support these attributes, or has transmitted through an FS which doesn't). > How can I open the stack file in LiveCode 9.5.1 without changing the > name of the file? Use All Files and select it that way, as you have been doing :) Warmest Regards, Mark. -- Mark Waddingham ~ m...@livecode.com ~ http://www.livecode.com/ LiveCode: Everyone can create apps _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
