tools of stacks thumbnail of standalone setting unavailable

Post by jmburnod » Fri Aug 05, 2016 9:19 am

Hi All,
I have a stack file with 2 stacks in the "stacks" thumbnail of standalone setting (LC 7.06)
After I copied the stack to other machine, all tools of "stacks" thumbnail of standalone setting are unavailable (in grey).
What I have to do to make tools available.
Best regards
Jean-Marc

Probably you need to use a more appropriate syntax:
do you have a mainstack with 2 substacks?

No. Two main stacks

Hi
No. Two main stacks
If I make a stack and save it, I have a stack file with a stack "in it". If I then make another mainstack, how does one add it to the stack file? I set the mainstack of that second stack to the first stack, and it becomes a substack, both within the stack file. I do not think you can have two mainstacks in a single stack file.

Is this a clue, that you really do not have two mainstacks in that stack file, but rather only a single mainstack and a substack?

No. Two main stacks
A file = a main stack (with eventually substacks). Every stack/substack may have many cards
another file = another main stack (with eventually substacks)

You can't have 2 main stacks in a single file.
