Re: Make substack a mainstack?

Thanks for submitting that Peter. However... I just tested your recipe, and found that it does actually seem to work in that case. I just created a main stack, then a substack, and could successfully change the mainstack property of the substack to itself, i.e. to move it out into a stack on it

Yes, I see that. Except when you use the Object menu and inspect card or stack (which shows the inspector), then select an object with the edit tool and choose “Inspect object,” then you get another inspector. They start to pile up… This is the basis of this bug report: http://quality.livecode.

I would consider the removal of that feature (the ability to change the mainstack of a substack - including to itself) from the IDE a "bug". Has anyone filed a bug report on this? On 9/26/2016 11:38 AM, Peter Bogdanoff wrote: > I had that same experience. The Inspector no longer allows you to chan

Submitted Bug 18491 - Substack no longer can become a mainstack via property inspector The Inspector is still wonky. I don’t like how it now only inspects one control. You have to show another inspector to view properties of another control. Peter Bogdanoff On Sep 26, 2016, at 8:38 AM, Peter

I had that same experience. The Inspector no longer allows you to change a stack from being a substack. Peter On Sep 26, 2016, at 7:36 AM, Mike Bonner wrote: > You can also do it from the message box.-- set the mainstack of stack > "mystack" to "mystack" > > > On Mon, Sep 26, 2016 at 8:12 AM

Make substack a mainstack?

2016-09-25 Thread Alan
Using LC 8.1, if I get the stack properties for a sub-stack, I can no longer set the substacks mainStack property to be itself - i.e. making it an independent stack. This used to be possible in previous versions. Is this a bug or is there another method of doing it these days? cheers Alan _
