I am building a launcher app the loads stacks from DropBox.
I am using
go URL tURL where the tURL is the stack to load using the correct
DropBox format.
This works great for the first load. However, if I update the stack
in DropBox and try to reload tURL, it does not purge the existing
stack and load the new one.
Okay so when you do 'go url tURL' what is actually happening is you are
doing:
go (<expr>)
If <expr> evaluates to binary data which looks like a stackfile (after
the engine's tried viewing it as a name of stack, and failed) it will
try and load that binary data into memory as a stackfile. If there is
already a stackfile in memory with that name, then the normal engine
processes will kick-in and (most likely, as the stack doesn't have a
filename) cause the existing stack which is in memory to be preserved,
and the new one ditched.
Now, a stack loaded with the above form will not have a filename, so
'revert' won't work. Instead, you'll probably need to do:
delete stack <nameofstackwhichwasgourld>
go url ...
Hope this helps!
Mark.
