A quick poll:
If an app creates a folder with files in it, do you like it if the app
takes you to the desktop and opens the folder? Or would you rather
remain in the app and open the folder later yourself?

Richmond is probably right that choice is to a degree unwelcome for most

Yes, I agree.

I knew I was right to be cautious in my first response. You do indeed
have your priorities set 100% right.
Thanks very much for taking the time to respond in a way that reminds
us all of the complexity of this time in history. As I recently heard

All hardware has been checked okay.
When using read from driver in scripts loaded into 4.6.4 or standalone from
4.6.4 nothing is read ?
The identical script loaded in pre-windows 7 Livecode releases work.

I recommend you make it optional through a Properties flag called
something like auto-browse folder which could be set to on, off
or ask. If this option is set on you go directly to the folder;
set to off it keeps you in the app; set to ask' it gives you the
option via a dialog.
Sorry you asked?

free to do so, then you won't be dependent on the vagaries of my setup.

Hey folks,
I have a very simple application in which one aspect of the app uses
the QT player, always pointing to the same named MP3 file on my

Yesterday, I went to visit a friend and gave him a copy of the app to
try out and every aspect of the application worked as intended except

have the strength to open it myself (if this is an answer to your
question !)

Nothing should ever be done for the first time !
One convention that is used is to have a Reveal in Finder menu item, or
button. You could make the folder and give the user a button that lets them
decide whether to go and visit the folder.

Are you saying you upgraded to Windows 7 and LiveCode 4.6.4 at the same time?
I have heard that some people have had trouble with Windows 7 and serial ports.
Perhaps modems are especially an issue.
Do you see the port in the device manager? Can you connect with
