Hi friends,
I am experiencing a very strange problem after I save a stack AS.
Looks like LC remembers the original filename and insist on using it,
EVEN after I quit and restart LC!?
Today I made a little test and there is something rotten in the state of
denmark :-)
1. I created a new stack with one field and one button;
on mouseup
put the filename of this stack into fld 1
end mouseup
2. I saved the stack on my desktop
3. I click the button, all correct:
<http://major-k.de/temp/stack1_desktop.jpg>
4. I save the stack with the same name in another folder using menu "Save as..."
5. Then I click the button, the correct path appears in the field, but
immediately I get
an error dialog "loop of death", have to hit COMMAND . to get out of this?
<http://major-k.de/temp/stack1_dialog_loop.jpg>
6. Then I save the stack CMD-S and it gets saved as in 2. = wrong filename!?
<http://major-k.de/temp/stack1_wrong_filename.jpg
What is happening?
Where could LC possibly store any previous filename and how to get rid of this?
Checked all props and prop sets to no available.
I'm using LC 6.3.2, OS X 10.9.1
Any hints much appreciated!
sorry
Yo, Klaus: did you hear about the death of Bob Casales at 61?

Probably time to cut down on the fatty cheeses!

I am about to ask a very insulting question; brace yourself:
When you did "Save As" I have a feeling that Livecode "thinks" (sorry,
bad anthropomorphizmus, Ik weet, Ik ben een idioot; vergeef me)
that it has 2 stacks in its memory with the same name.
This is similar to my having 2 stacks called "FattyCheeses.livecode";
one on the desktop and one in a folder called "Bob_Casales" on the desktop.
Now; if I open the one on the desktop, and then open the one in the
folder I'm going to get what education lawyers (Yeah, I know, the
parasites do exist) call "a conflict of interests.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So: to your stack called "filename_test1.livecode" . . .
You have a stack with this name open in the IDE; a stack you have saved
to /Users/klaus/desktop/
and you do a "Save As" with it to /Users/klaus/desktop/RevKram/
at that point I think Livecode 6.3.2 (err . . . why are you not using
6.5 ???????) "thinks" (sorry, again) it has 2 stacks
called "filename_test1.livecode" open.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 'normal, tedious, way round, until the RunRev chaps stop working a
40 hour week' [some of us: including Thee and Me, Klaus, put in a hell
of a lot more than 40 hours] would seem to be this:
do your "Save As";
then: do a "Close and Remove from Memory",
then open the Saved-as stack in its NEW location.
Richmond.
Best
Klaus
