Previous message: "Unable to open stack" from Finder
…

Here are the results of my tests:

- Opening any stack from the File menu works.
- Double-clicking a stack file if Revolution is not already open works.
- Double-clicking a stack file with Revolution already open does not work.
…

Hopefully the mother ship will comment on & fix this soon.

Cheers,
Sarah

That was 2009 with Rev Studio 3.5.

Today I witness this phenomenon in 2017, with LiveCode 8.1.3 and Mac Pro Mid 2012 — mother's ship is mothballed, isn't it ?

• 1. LiveCode is not running • DoubleClick in Finder:
  LiveCode loaunches, LiveCode Error (!): "Unable to open stack:"
  
  2. LiveCode is running • DoubleClick in Finder:
  LiveCode Error (!): "Unable to open stack:"
  
  3. LiveCode is running • File Menu, Open Stack…
  OK
  
  4. LiveCode is running • File Menu, Open Recent File
  OK

I have compacted & saved my stack as Legacy LiveCode Stack (7.0),
and a copy of it as Legacy LiveCode Stack (8.0),
and a copy of it as Legacy LiveCode Stack (5.5),
and a copy of it as LiveCode Stack;

I got exactly the same results and do not know, how to prevent nor to repair this incorrect conduct.
I hope for help, at least for enlightenment …

Hi Peter,

although I NEVER EVER doubleclick any stacks, I just made a test and
1. - 4. work as exspected on my macOS 10.12.4 and LC 9 dp6.
