Hi Bernd, Which preference setting are you using? The only one I could find is titled "Preserve stack file format on stacks saved in legacy format" on the Files and Memory tab. No matter how I set that, if I save a stack in LC from the File menu, I can't open it in versions prior to v7 ( get "file is not a stack file" error).
This is with stacks with no closeStack handler. Maybe I'm missing a preference setting somewhere?
