Hi Tom, Set the 'destroyStack' property of the instance stack to true. That way it is completely removed from memory when it is closed.

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 persists in memory. (Going by what the Application Browser shows.) What's the best way to remove these document stacks from memory in a standalone? Also, the app will need to save user's preferences. Knowing that main stacks cannot save to themselves, I set it up with a substack that stores prefs in custom properties. However, I see now that the substack is actually part of the main stack file. So doesn't that means the substack will have the same problem of being sandboxed by the OS and unable to save? What solutions do you recommend? Many thanks.
