LiveCode Forums.

I think that I just edited my PreOpenStack to include a perpetual loop; then saved and exited. Now when I try to open my .Livecode file, livecode just hangs.

Damn.

Is there a way to have Livecode open a project for editing, without executing PreOpenStack?

Thanks in advance

Click the "messages" icon in the main LiveCode toolbar before opening your stack.

Thanks, but is there another step?

I click the Message Box icon, and the Message Box appears. But when I load my .Livecode file, I still get the same result. Livecode goes into "Not Responding" mode without allowing me to do anything.

I'm pretty sure that I've messed up the PreOpenStack by putting a Repeat While command in it; the end conditions of which are never fulfilled.

Regards

Sorry - I just worked out what you meant.

"Messages" icon, not "Message Box" icon.

As you said. I've clicked on the Messages icon and that has let me edit the project without PreOpenStack running.

THANKS - very useful to know.
