OK on my computer, "corrupted" on his ???

[Simon Vickers]

I am making a stack for reading audio clips, setting extracts of them and then saving the extracts as audio files.
This is done by piping the audio sound output to QuickTime 7 with SoundFlower under AppleScript control.
I am doing this with a Japanese AppleScript expert because I don`t know how.
When I send him the stack I have made with my commercial version LiveCode 6.5 he gets:
"There was a problem opening that stack: stack is corrupted ~ check for backup file"
He has the commercial version of LiveCode.
What`s going on, and what`s to be done?

Hi Simon,

this can happen if your japanese partner uses a Livecode version below 5.5. The stack format changed. You could save your stack as and at the bottom is an option menu and you choose legacy LiveCode stack 2.7. That will save in the old format but looses any specific stuff that is LC 5.5 or beyond. The part that is covered by "older" LC versions is saved.
You miight also want to zip the file, just to make shure.

Kind regards
Bernd

Thanks for the feedback Bernd, actually he had a recent version of LiveCode.

I finally got the the bottom of this, the problem was caused by the language settings on my Japanese collaborator`s machine.

He wrote:
"I succeeded to open your LiveCode stack. LiveCode seems not to be able to open stacks under Japanese language environment any more... I changed "Language & Region" settings in System Preferences.app."


That`s worth knowing...

I would never have guessed it.

Some answers to your questions:
1. The stack has a plain non-Unicode name, its focus is just on running AppleScript scripts for the time being
2. The stack does not use Unicode 16 internally
3. I don`t know
4. I don`t know

The stack will include Unicode stuff at a later stage.
