Thanks for the tip! But unfortunately already tried that! I only try to work
with one stack at a time.
If I set a breakpoint and step over the line
delete stack “teststack"
And then try to open a new stack with the same name there is no dialog box
If I run the same code (without any breakpoints). I can wait forever (well kind
of) and the stack will still be among the mainStacks. If I run your suggest
code with a counter addition:
repeat while "teststack" is among the lines of the mainStacks
delete stack "teststack"
add 1 to tCount
end repeat
put tCount
I get an output of 1 but again if I bring up the message box after the code Is
executed and do a “put the mainStacks” the stack is back again! If I run a loop
over all my 25 stacks (or so) with the same name using the code above it loops
through several stacks in quick succession but then I got the dialog again, and
again, and again, and again… until I force quitted LiveCode.
Created there stacks teststack1, 2 and 3 in the same folder all with the same
name “teststack”. If I then run the following code from another stack in the
same folder:
set the itemDelimiter to slash
put item 1 to -2 of the filename of this stack into tPath
repeat with i = 1 to 3
open stack tPath & "/teststack" & i & ".livecode"
repeat while “teststack" is among the lines of the mainStacks
delete stack "teststack"
end repeat
end repeat
Then I get a dialog asking what I want to do with teststack1 before I load
teststack2 and teststack2 is still open after the code has run! If I create 6
stacks and run the same code (but from 1 to 6 of course) I get into the
unstoppable dialog loop and needs to quit LiveCode!
I’ve update the bug report https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=24163
with new example ( https://quality.livecode.com/attachment.cgi?id=11421 ) that
causes my LiveCode to get into the endless dialog loop. So, don’t run this if
you have unsaved work in another stack!
If it works for you Jacqueline, what platform are you using? Maybe this is a
Mac only problem? I’m running MacOS Ventura 13.1 on a MacBook Pro (M1 Max).
