Hi, everyone. I'm using rev 2.1.1 with mac os x (jaguar) and trying to make a simple data collection application. Basically I have the data saved in textfiles, which are loaded into the stack when the stack is opened. When the user quits, I want to save the updated information back into the textfiles.
A couple of points. To load the textfiles, I locate them using the following script in the preOpenStack of the data collection stack. The textfiles are in a folder called "data" which is in the same folder as the data collection stack. In the following, "this stack" refers to the data collection stack on preOpenStack put the effective filename of this stack into thePath set the itemDelimiter to "/" delete last item of thePath put "/data" after thePath set the defaultFolder to thePath put url "file:wordlist" into fld "wordlist" put url "file:sentences" into fld "savedSentences" put url "file:settings" into theSettings end preOpenStack Now when I try to trap the user's quitting with on shutdownRequest (save the collected information to the textfiles) pass shutdownRequest end shutdownRequest or on shutdown (save the collected information to the textfiles) end shutdown neither of these results in the files being saved. -- However, if i put the following: on closeStack (save the collected information to the textfiles) end closeStack then it works. Here are my questions: 1. Why can't I effectively trap a shutdown request? 2. When I make the stack into an application, does the "closeStack" function still apply to the application file's quitting? I mean, it's not a "stack" anymore, right? 3. How come, even when I use a closeStack handler and successfully save the information to textFiles, I have to click on the filenames in the Finder in order for the proper (new) modification time of the saved textfile to show up in the Finder? thanks. rand valentine _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
