Hi Bob: The IDE has a default check to determine if a stack needs to be saved before closing it (I believe someone way back mentioned something about a "dirty" flag). Attempting to close unsaved stacks will almost always prompt a save dialog.
When trying the following in 6.6.1 Mac/Win, both work as expected -- the stack doesn't close because pass is commented out. When the comment is removed, the stacks save and close as expected. on closeStackRequest save this stack put millisecs() -- pass closeStackRequest end closeStackRequest Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design On 4/14/14 1:16 PM, "Bob Sneidar" <bobsnei...@iotecdigital.com> wrote: >Nada.
