Re: Make substack a mainstack?
Thanks for submitting that Peter. However... I just tested your recipe, and found that it does actually seem to work in that case. I just created a main stack, then a substack, and could successfully change the mainstack property of the substack to itself, i.e. to move it out into a stack on it's own. Weird. I wonder what else is going on in my other stack where it doesn't work? (This with LC 8.1.0). Perhaps in a stack made with a previous version? No, just tried this with a similar stack created in 7.1. Strangely, now it works in my development stack where it didn't work previously. Hmm... perhaps another temporary glitch...? Will report anything if I can reproduce it consistently. Will add this commentary to the bug report. cheers Alan On 27 Sep 2016, at 4:50 am, use-livecode-requ...@lists.runrev.com wrote: > Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2016 09:01:34 -0700 > From: Peter Bogdanoff > > Submitted Bug 18491 - Substack no longer can become a mainstack via property > inspector > > The Inspector is still wonky.

But for now, as soon as you have any Inspector open click the lock icon to unlock it and you're golden. So inspect a stack click anywhere other than a control. To inspect a card double-click anywhere other than a control. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Make substack a mainstack?
Yes, I see that. Except when you use the Object menu and inspect card or stack (which shows the inspector), then select an object with the edit tool and choose “Inspect object,” then you get another inspector. They start to pile up… This is the basis of this bug report: http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18291 Peter On Sep 26, 2016, at 10:16 AM, Richard Gaskin wrote: > Peter Bogdanoff wrote: > > > The Inspector is still wonky.

The Inspector still has the lock icon it's had for many versions, which keeps it locked to a specific object. When turned off it dynamically changes with changes to the selected objects. The only change in v8 is that now when the Inspector is opened from the right-click menu in the Project Browser it opens with the lock set by default, whereas in other contexts the default is that the lock is off: http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18423 Just open the Inspector by either double-clicking an object or selecting the Inspector when right-clicking on the object with the pointer tool active and it'll open in the default unlocked state you're accustomed to.

Re: Make substack a mainstack?
I would consider the removal of that feature (the ability to change the mainstack of a substack - including to itself) from the IDE a "bug". Has anyone filed a bug report on this?

Re: Make substack a mainstack?
Submitted Bug 18491 - Substack no longer can become a mainstack via property inspector The Inspector is still wonky. I don’t like how it now only inspects one control. You have to show another inspector to view properties of another control. Peter Bogdanoff On Sep 26, 2016, at 8:38 AM, Peter Bogdanoff wrote: > I had that same experience.

Re: Make substack a mainstack?
I had that same experience. The Inspector no longer allows you to change a stack from being a substack.

Re: Make substack a mainstack?
You can also do it from the message box.-- set the mainstack of stack "mystack" to "mystack" On Mon, Sep 26, 2016 at 8:12 AM, Richard Gaskin wrote: > Alan wrote: > > > Using LC 8.1, if I get the stack properties for a sub-stack, I can no > > longer set the substacks mainStack property to be itself - i.e. > > making it an independent stack.

Everything in the IDE is scripted, so anything you've seen the IDE do is something you can also do. If you clone a substack it'll create a new copy with no filename attached to it. You can then delete the original, rename the clone, and use File->Save, which will prompt you to set a file name for it. You may also be able to use the mainstack stack property for that. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
