Hello.

A stupid question: I'm trying to open a stack (not a standalone) from another stack in the IDE but I only know its filename, something like ../Dev/LiveCode Revolution/MyStack_300.livecode
Of course, this stack's name is not its file name and I don't know how the built-in "Open Stack..." menu article works.

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   get "../Dev/LiveCode Revolution/MyStack_300.livecode" -- valid file path pasted from the Finder
   if there is a file it then
      go to stack URL it -- > nothing happened
      launch it -- > nothing happened
      open stack it -- > nothing happened
   else beep -- never heard, so the file exists
end mouseUp

Hi.

If your stack is not in memory in the current session, the command:

Code: Select all

go stack "pathnameToYourStack"

will certainly work.

Are you sure you have the pathname correct?

Hi Craig, your reply was too fast, so I can't delete my own post!
You're right, the problem was not teh command, but the stack that was opened but invisible.
Thanks anyway.
