NO!!!!!!

I just backtracked to an older version of my stack (from a backup) and tried with that, and it worked!

It looks like my stack file became corrupt somewhere down the line. I guess I need to start going back through backups until I find the newest one that doesn't have a problem, then try to "patch" it to match the current version.

Well, at least it seems solvable now...

I never use the single-byte <>, <= or >= versions in any of my scripts. I just checked the only other script I may have added from an outside source since this last worked, and they are clean.

I tried suppress messages and save standalone, no good.

I then made an exact copy of the stack (using the Finder), opened that copy in Rev, tried saving that as a standalone. Still not working.

Next, I tried commenting out the savingStandalone, preOpenStack, openStack, closeStackRequest, shutdownRequest, and closeStack handlers in my mainstack, along with the preOpenCard and openCard handlers in the first card of that stack (I'm working with the copy).

I then saved the stack, quit Rev, reopened the stack, turned on Supress Messages, and tried saving the standalone.

Same unhelpful error. Needless to say, this is getting rather frustrating. The stack represents several months worth of work. There are 40 substacks, one of which has 42 cards (the mainstack has 8 cards).

The mainstack's script got to be so long I broke it down by adding a backscript via a field on the first card (it is added by the preOpenStack script which I commeted out -- that's why I quit Rev before trying to build again).

That backscript got to be so long I forked off a *second* backscript, so that there are now two backscripts: one with 838 lines, and one with 803 lines. The mainstack script still has 473 lines , and some of the cards on my mainstack have scripts with line counts like 889 and 807... some of the substacks have scripts of over 200 lines, and a few of their cards have scripts on the order of 100+ lines. And these are just the stacks and cards! Some of the controls also have scripts of several hundred lines each.

Needless to say, I can't really afford to lose this stack. I have backup copies, but with this level of complexity, backing up even a step or two could be rather costly, and if the same problems occur...


Okay, one more thing I thought to try: I have a number of externals I'm using, some of them are custom ones (that I built). Rev crashes every time I build a standalone from a stack using certain externals (after displaying the message that the standalone was successfully saved, or now this error), and this is one of those stacks.


I tried setting the externals of the copy (the one with all of the handlers commented out) to empty, quitting Rev, and repeating the process. Rev thinks about it a little longer now, but still comes back to the same error message. At least this time it didn't crash afterwords ;-)

The destination folder (the folder created during the save process) is still not created.

Hi Frank,

Here are a couple of other suggestions.
1) If you're using a Mac, make sure >= is two characters not one.
2) Try commenting out all preOpenStack/preOpenCard openStack/openCard handlers and then build the standalone. If it works, then you can assume you're doing something in the handlers which is creating problems. Enable one at a time and locate the problem handler, then debug from there.


Let us know what you find.

best,
Chipp
