Richard,

I’m running the different versions of LiveCode on the same Mac and looking at 
the same file so I don’t think the OS is affecting this.

I’m just asking if there is a stack with the correct name and getting “false” 
as the answer if using LC 9.5.1.
If I ask for “file” and not “stack” then the result is “true”.

The path to the LicenseKey.IW file is correct at: /Volumes/HP c310w/InfoWallet 
1.4/Info Files

Here is the error message:
Executing at 4:47:43 PM on Tuesday, December 31, 2019
Type: Chunk: can't find stack
Object: stack '/Volumes/HP c310w/InfoWallet 1.4/Info 
Files/InfoWallet.app/Contents/MacOS/InfoWallet'
Line Num: 26
Hint: populateFileList

Comments:

I think LC must have changed how they are validating “stack” in version 8 
compared to version 7.


Maybe, but if so it's happening in a way not even Mark Waddingham is aware of (see his earlier post), and in ways I've never seen (and I do some weird things with stack files).

Most interesting here is that "is a file" returns true while "is a stack" returns false.

Were both of those tests run in the standalone? MacOS changed some aspects of how apps are allowed to address contents of its internal bundle folders a while back, but I would be surprised if those come into play only when testing "is a stack" but not "is a file".

Is the stack file openable in the IDE?
