I installed LiveCode 4.6 this morning (OS 10.6.6) works fine but…
1) now if LiveCode is not already running, I must drag & drop my stack icon onto the LiveCode icon in the dock to start up my stack.
2) now if LiveCode is not running and I double-click my stack, a "standalone" icon appears briefly in the dock then disappears and my stack does not open.
Previously, in 4.5, I could just double-click my stack and it would open whether RunRev was running when I double-clicked it or not.
Can I get that functionality back i.e, double-click my stack and have it open even if LiveCode is not running
Thanks,
Doug
P.S. I use RunRev in "Script Debug Mode" only. My stack has never been converted to a standalone.

Oh - I fixed it. Problem is not knowing how to use my Mac.

Solution for anyone (?) who may not know:
1) click the stack in question
2) in the Mac Finder, go to File menu, and click Get Info
3) Do: Open with: LiveCode 4.6

For some reason (should I know why?) when I installed LiveCode 4.6 this morning, the "Open with:" setting for my stack (readable and settable under "Get Info") got automatically set to "standalone."

That's funny - there actually *was* a problem with double-clicking stacks to open them, but only on Windows, not on the mac, and only if there was a chain of external libraries. It got fixed in a late beta build of 4.6, so it's amusing to see this pop up here now. Glad you got it fixed - the mac preferences do get out of whack sometimes and need to be reset in that manner. I'm never sure why it happens, but it never seems to be more serious than reattaching the proper application reference.
