Re: What's With the Tilde After the Stack File Extension?
Thanks Andre and Bob, Good tips. Never thought of console. I'll have to add it as a must-do to my troubleshooting checklist.

Re: What's With the Tilde After the Stack File Extension?
Be careful about the Console Logs tho'. There is a lot of normal stuff that floats through there that looks like there is something wrong, but there isn't. I spent a lot of time googling until I realized I was just chasing ghosts. And IMHO HP is notorious for really badly written drivers, for both PC and Mac. I bought 3 separate models of printers where the drivers on the CD that came with it did not actually work! I always get the drivers from the support site now.

Re: What's With the Tilde After the Stack File Extension?
Gregory, If you're felling like doing some unix, then you can launch console.app (not terminal.app, I keep mixing them) and check out the logs in there, specially system.log. There might be some hint in there. Once my system was taking about 10 minutes to boot up, after being fed up for months, I decided to look at the logs. What was happening was that once upon a time, I had installed parallels and vmware, their kernel stuff were still loading even though I did not had the apps anymore but the biggest criminal was an HP monitor thing for the printer that I don't have anymore that would stall the system for minutes while it loaded. Now I know better Cheers andre On Thu, Jun 17, 2010 at 10:29 AM, Gregory Lypny wrote: > Thank you Stephan, > > I guess it was a memory blip.

Thank you Stephan, I guess it was a memory blip. A shut down and restart seems to have taken the molasses out of saving the stack.

Re: What's With the Tilde After the Stack File Extension?
I should say the tilde - backup thing is normal. What is causing the slowdown I can't say, but perhaps it was just a system slowdown - memory swap issue. If it came back and didn't crash, then it may not happen again. On 16 June 2010 15:53, stephen barncard wrote: > Normal behavior. Rev saves a copy to revert to in case of > interruption/crash.

Re: What's With the Tilde After the Stack File Extension?
Normal behavior. Rev saves a copy to revert to in case of interruption/crash. This happens rarely but you'll be glad it backed up the stack first someday. If someone pulled the plug in the middle of the save, you'd still have something. On 16 June 2010 15:16, Gregory Lypny wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I was working on a stack today.
