Re: double-clicking stack on desktop
Thanks to Jackie and others for suggestion to change double-clicking stack on desktop behavior of Rev stacks to that of MetaCard by renaming application file. Here's the details, at least on Windows OS: I have many personal stacks (calendar, database, address) that I, or family, normally just want to double-click and use rather than edit. In MC, double-clicking a stack on the desktop opens the stack in Player, and ctrl-double-click opens stack in Development - opposite behavior to Rev. MC behavior is preferrable for these personal stacks you want to simply use most of the time. Would be nice if Rev had an option in Preferences for double-click behavior. Here's fix, at least for Windows OS: In Revolution distribution folder, copy Revolution.exe to a new file whose name doesn't start with rev, e.g., Copy of Revolution.exe or mc.exe or mcrev.exe (but not revmc.exe). In Windows Folder Options (file types) control panel, create a new file type for personal stacks, e.g., RV (.rv extension) and then click Advanced button to specify they are to be opened by the renamed copy of Revolution.exe in Revolution distribution folder. Now, double-clicking an .rv stack on the desktop opens the stack in Player mode (with MC hand cursor and default font size but with Rev title-bar icon). Ctrl-double-click opens file in licensed MC Development if you have a licensed MC home stack somewhere on disk, or opens file in Starter Kit MC Development if you have an unlicensed MC home stack somewhere, or opens file in Player if there is no MC home stack on disk. Change extension of .rv file to .rev to edit file in Rev Development, then change it back to .rv to open in Player with double-click.

double-clicking stack on desktop
OK, starting to convert from using MC to Rev... In MC, double-clicking a file on the desktop opens the file in Player environment; command-double-click opens stack in Development. The reverse is true in Rev. I prefer MC's way for personal stacks (calendar, addresses, etc.) used by myself and family - who definitely don't expect to see the Development stacks open (and will refuse to remember to hold command key down!) Is there a way to change this behavior in Rev to the way it works in MC? My current fix is to hide the development stacks in openStack of the douible-clicked stack.

I've hear that if you just rename the executable this behavior changes -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge 2.2: Publish any database on any site ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
