But I think IDs would work fine too, since, if this is right, no two stacks can have the same ID during the current session. For my purposes I only care about referencing stacks during the current runtime session, not across sessions.

Re: Manipulate Stacks with Duplicate Names?
Is there any way to distinguish between newly created (unsaved) stacks that have the same name? How about using the stack's ID? I seem to recall reading on the list long ago that it was somehow possible for multiple opened stacks to have duplicate IDs, and (because of this) referencing stacks by ID wasn't reliable. Is this actually the case or have I spent years mistakenly avoiding referencing stacks by ID?

Re: Manipulate Stacks with Duplicate Names?
not mistakenly because Tuv once told me you just CANT rely on stack ids. Actually they change across sessions (not very smart IMOHO) so i too just avoid them... The stack path is probably the best reference after the stack's name... cheers Xavier [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 13/10/2005 08:23:39: Is there any way to distinguish between newly created (unsaved) stacks that have the same name?

I seem to recall reading on the list long ago that it was somehow possible for multiple opened stacks to have duplicate IDs, and (because of this) referencing stacks by ID wasn't reliable. Is this actually the case or have I spent years mistakenly avoiding referencing stacks by ID? There are some nuances. Newly created stacks start out with ID 1002. A stack's ID increments when you create an object, and you can also change it manually. So you'd need to do a little work: set the ID of last stack when you create it, or set the ID in the templateStack before creation, and make sure to choose the numbers such that there's no overlap possibility if you're creating objects in the new stack. But it should be workable. -- jeanne a. e. devoto ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jaedworks.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

RE: Manipulate Stacks with Duplicate Names?
I forgot about the id but there is also the filename property which doesn't exist in unsaved stacks... cheers Xavier http://monsieurx.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeanne A.
