Hi Bob,
Sure, it's easy to make a mainstack a substack of another.
Go to your stack property inspector of the main stack you wish to
make a substack of another. Make sure you're at the 'Basic
Properties' section.
There's a option button named 'mainStack'. Just click on it and
select the new mainstack you want for this stack and it's done for
you.
I've done this at least a dozen times now. I can set the mainstack
option button to the other mainstack. If I save, it reverts back.
Change the mainstack again, click on the other mainstack then back on
the one I just changed and it reverts back. Basically, I can't get
the change in mainstack to stick.
Actually, I just tried it a couple of more times. Thought I'd see
what the application browser might tell me. It seems that I had an
empty substack defined on the mainstack I was trying to move. Once I
got rid of that, this worked.
OK, I'm set now. Thanks.
See below for other answers.
Thanks, I'm going to have to get used to this running of scripts to
modify things.
Cheers,
Bob
best,
Chipp

Hi,
Having a blast with RunRev... in two ways at least: lots of fun,
and shooting myself in the foot
So I made a main stack and got it working quite nicely. I've
grown attached to it even.
Now I am coming to realise that this was something of a mistake.
I should have made a dummy stack as the main stack and done my
work in a substack. Next time for sure.
So I read in the documentation "Changing a stack's mainStack
property moves it into the same file as the specified main stack.
The stack becomes a substack of the specified mainStack."
Unless I'm doing something wrong -- and this is a distinct
possibility -- then this isn't precisely correct. This doesn't do
much when the stack you are trying to change the mainStack
property of is itself a main stack. In fact it doesn't seem to do
anything.
So, barring some error in what I'm trying to do, is there some
other way to do this? I can't quite find answers in the
documentation.
Can you demote a main stack?
Can you copy a main stack to a substack?
Can you move a card from one stack to another?
copy card 1 of stack "fred" to stack "sam"
Can you duplicate stacks?
clone stack "fred"
Can you duplicate cards?
clone card "myCard" of stack "fred"
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
