I'm rewriting my script editor to use multiple cards in a single window
rather than a separate window for each script. The migration has been
going well, with one oddity:
When I first set this up, I had the stack's closeStack handler delete
every card from #2 on:
go cd 1
repeat with i = 2 to the number of cds
delete cd 2
end repeat
This worked well enough, but I found that about half the time I saved
the Rev engine would crash. The file was fine - I can reopen it, edit
anything easily, and even save it again. But only after it creates
multiple cards, about half the time it crashed during the save command,
while half the time it saved just fine. FWIW, the crash occured before
the "~" copy was made, so it's something early on in the save routine.
On a lark I move the card deletion from the closeStack handler to a
preOpenStack handler. Now it works fine all the time - I can save
without difficulty.
Anyone else seen odd crashes during save?
I've checked the RQCC, and there's only one report of a crash during
save which doesn't seem related to my circumstance.
It's all good now, I'm happily editing away, but it's the sort of thing
that makes me wonder if I've tripped across some rare but
possibly-devastatig-for-some-client-project-down-the-road issue....
