open stack without executing [solved]

Post by SteveTX » Mon Jul 15, 2013 11:17 pm

My stack is creating a hanging loop in the IDE upon opening. Is there a way to open the stack without it executing?

Hi.

When you say "executing", do you mean that you do not want its, say, "openstack" or other automatically invoked scripts to run? Is this stack opened by another stack, or from the finder? IS LC already running?

craig, the hang was crashing the IDE itself without throwing an error. However, suppressing messages and errors prior to opening allowed me to open the stack to find the offending line.

Good work. Those suppression tools can be invaluable.
