Hi folks, I seem to have a corrupt main stack so is it possible to create a new main stack and simply move cards between stacks? There doesn't seem to be an option in the properties inspector, similar to the one used to re-assign a sub-stack's to a Main Stack?
Thanks,
Keith..

Hi Keith,

you could use a script/message box:
..
copy cd "Name of card" of stack "el corrupto" to stack "fresh and healthy"
...

Hi Klaus, Ah, that's brilliant - thanks! That will save a lot of re-work. Nice naming convention, too!
Best,
Keith..

A warning, though. In HC sometimes it was a card that was corrupted, not the stack. It was possible to find this card by navigation, whether manually or under script control if there were lots of cards.

Once it was located, I would skip the card, So in metacode, if cd 126 was the culprit you would:

copy card 1 to 125
copy card 127 to the number of cds

Thanks dunbarx but I think the issue is the main stack, as it's locking the text of any new fields on any new cards on the main or sub-stack - as per this post http://forums.runrev.com/phpBB2/viewtop ... f=8&t=5487
