Does it work on a large stack?
By "small stack' I meant that that script is contained in a button on a
palettised stack, and is meant to save another stack.
It does put the data into the fld "TSTAKN" but does NOT save the top stack.
The idea is to convert this code into the cardStack of a palette with a
time interval so it serves as a version saver.
But any sort of script to save a stack under a different name seems
problematic:
save stack "HEX rotate" as "Granny goes gay"
doesn't work either.
It might be problematic with a stack of any size since the date
returns a value that contains "/", which is used as a path delimiter
on OS X and Linux.
What does "the result" give you after the save command?
"can't open stack file"
If instead of changing the path of the current stack what you're
looking to do is make a copy of it to a new location, I'd make a copy
of the file itself and leave the in-memory stack alone.
