Hi Mark,

Assuming that all the stacks you want to save have
some custom property set:

##
put the openStacks into tOpenStacks
repeat for each line tOpenStack in tOpenStacks
 if the uSaveMePlease of stack tOpenStack then
   save stack tOpenStack
 end if
end repeat
##


Thanks Jan,

Question:   Why would it matter if the stacks had custom property sets?

The openStacks was the function I needed... I'd tried to ask for a  
list of  "the open stacks" and had been turned away... I don't know  
why I didn't find it when I looked.  (One reason is that there is no  
reference to the openStacks function when you look at the Dictionary  
results for the Stacks function... see below)


Funny thing, both our scripts seem to work if I make the "Command-Q" a  
"Command-L," for example.I moved the script into a shutDownRequest  
handler and it seems to be working.


Thanks for your help.

Mark

stacks

Type: function

Syntax: the stacks stacks()

See Also: defaultStack property, name property, openStacks function,  
reloadStack message, revLoadedStacks function, topStack function,  
visible property


Introduced: 1.0

Changed: 1.0

Platform Support:
Summary:
Returns a list of stack files that contain an open stack.

Examples:
the stacks


Use the stacks function to find out which stack files are open.

Value:
The stacks function returns a list of file paths of open stacks, one  
per line.


Comments:
Since unsaved stacks have no file name, the file names of unsaved  
stacks are not included in the list. Instead, each unsaved stack is  
represented by a blank line in the list.


The file paths of substacks are included, but the stack names  
themselves are not. This means that if more than one stack in a file  
is open, that file's path appears more than once in the list returned  
by the stacks function.


The list includes any open Revolution windows (such as the message box  
and menu bar). It also includes stacks that have been opened during  
the current session and then closed, unless the stack's destroyStack  
property is set to true.

Sorry about that.  My eyes got stuck on the "in standalone" phrase, and 
didn't pick up the "separate stack files" part until after Jan's post.


I suspect Jan's suggested covered what you need, yes?

Richard,

Thanks, I had actually seen, read, and saved Sarah's piece,  but it  
hadn't answered the question of what was wrong with the script I was  
proposing.  I had wrestled with trying to make it work for quite some  
time without luck.

saving all open stacks in standalone

[Mark Swindell]

I want to save all the stacks that are open in a standalone.  These  
are separate stack files, not substacks.  What syntax needs to be  
changed to make the following work?


 if theKey is "Q" then
put the stacks into saveUsAll
repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of saveUsAll
save stack (line x of saveUsAll)
end repeat
quit
end if


Thanks,
Mark
