RE: Odd Error

2003-12-06 Thread Ken Ray
I tried both with the Stack Props palette and with the message box:

  set the mainstack of this stack to "MyMainStack"

What could be easier? (And something I've done many times.)

But for some reason, this time I got the 'deskicon' error.

Weird, huh? I'm curious what a "deskIcon" is...

Come on Ken, everybody knows you can't set a stack's mainStack to deskIcon!

(Actually I have no idea what that means.  Did you try to set the mainStack
via script?)

I was trying to set the mainstack of a stack to another stack and got an
MC error "deskIcon is not an integer". What the heck is *that*?

Did you file a bug report on it in Bugzilla?  If you did, we'll fix it.  If
you didn't, we'll still try, but can't guarantee what list this will be put
on when.

Revolution has been around for 7 years less than the MC IDE, and has many
more features.  So we're not there yet on a raw efficiency or uncluttered
scale.  But it won't be long before we are that too, and in the mean time,
we have to cater for the larger number of users.  And you are quite free to
go on using the MC IDE if you wish.

Kind regards,
