Strange plug-ins keep loading when stacks opened

Firstly, I have checked in the "development" menu and there are no plugins clicked to load. I have spotlighted (mac search) the offending names and spotlight reveals nothing except the standard plugins that I am aware of for use in other programs. I have done a manual search and have found nothing. Here is a screenshot of the stack that loads whenever it feels it wants to irritate me, it loads often in the middle of work not always at the beginning of opening up a desired stack to work on. Its path is as follows:
Stack/"applications/livecode community 6.1.1 app/contents/tools/toolset/revPrinterChooser.rev"
It is obviously hidden within the LiveCode application itself since this path is not available for me to follow.

Anybody have any bright ideas? This has been going since I downloaded this version, it also happened in the previous version, can't ignore it anymore, want to see it extinct.

regards
chris

The title of the stack is "Application Browser", corresponding to an item of the same name in the Tools menu. It belongs to the IDE, and will usually open only when it was left open last time you quit.

Try closing it first and then quitting, and see if it reappears next time you launch.

If it does, you may want to ditch your Prefs file and try again.

Ok, what I meant or should have emphasized was this: It was the app "Print Chooser" which keeps loading every time and it does not exist anywhere. Anyway, I deleted the preference file associated with RunRev and it seems to have sold the problem, I think printChooser has been vanquished to the outer parts of the known galaxy!

When in doubt about where a stack came from you can query the stack's filename property from the Message Box:

Code: Select all

put the effective filename of stack "Printer Chooser"
That stack is part of LC's Tools folder, and there's an option to include it when making standalones for older Linux builds which may not have a compatible printing architecture to let you use the "answer printer" command.

I have no idea what would cause it to open, but glad it's gone for you now.
