tack File Names Changed • From: Gregory Lypny • Subject: Stack File Names Changed • Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2004 05:42:29 -0700
Hello Everyone,
I've come across an anomaly with an MC project running in OS X that may be of interest to Revolution users. It hasn't happened with any of my Revolution projects (yet).
I have a standalone main stack that has a number of stack files, all of which have names that end in .mc. These are stored in the Mac OS folder inside the application package. When the application is opened, it automatically opens one of the stack files, say, fileName.mc, which is the default window the user will be working in. This works most of the time, but on rare occasions the main stack opens with its splash screen but the stack file that is called via a handler in the main stack does not. The user is then left with a menu bar and nothing else. The couple of times it has happened, I simply reinstalled the standalone because I didn't have time to look for the cause. But two days ago, when it happened again, I examined the package contents, and found that a tilde (~) had been added to the end of the stack file's name, so that it was fileName.mc~. Of course, deleting the tilde fixed the problem, but the question is why it appeared in the first place.
Because of a crash or filecorruption.
The <stackname>.rev~ or <stackname>.mc~ are the backup/temp files the engine makes.

The problem is not limited to one machine: I has happened on a dual processor G5, a flat-panel G4 iMac, and a G4 iBook.
Any thoughts?
