Hi Roland,
This is the only reply of yours that I see.

Thanks, Phil and Tom
I already replied, but I cannot see my first reply to your answers.
Did it appear in the list?
Phil:
"quitMe" should be sent before 'saveMe' is executed, because the 'save'
command is blocking. It would prevent 'quitMe' from being sent until (in
this case) 1 second after 'saveMe' has finished.
Well, it is blocking. Issuing "quit" just quits if messages are locked.So,
to quit before save would require not to force a quit. Right? I will test.
You're right, but that's not what my code does. It sends 'quitMe' (which
contains the 'quit') 1 second after 'saveMe' has started. As you may
know, 'send in x seconds' adds 'quitMe' to the pendingMessages queue, so
it will execute as soon as the designated time has passed AND no other
handler is running.
For what it's worth, the correction I made to my own code is still not
correct. The whole thing should look like this:
local sMyTildeFilename
on closeStack
-- create a path to the 'tilde' file (which doesn't yet exist)
put (the filename of me & "~") into sMyTildeFilename
-- add 'quitMe' to the pendingMessages
send "quitMe" in 1 second
-- save this stack
saveMe
end closeStack
command saveMe
lock cursor
set the cursor to watch
save me -- creates the tilde file at beginning, deletes it at end
end saveMe
command quitMe
-- wait until tilde file is gone, then quit
if there is a file sMyTildeFilename -- 'save' has not completed yet
then -- try again later
send "quitMe" to me in 0.5 seconds
else
unlock cursor
lock messages
quit
end if
end quitMe
Phil
The main problem is that the IDE is ok, even though saving takes a long
time, but no errors I can see. The standalones are the culprit, and I have
limited to access to other peoples computers using my standalones. And on
my machine the problem does not appear regularly.
// I hope this message appears, otherwise I will have to check what is
wrong sending messages to the list. //
Thanks
Roland
