Errors When Saving as Stand-Alone Since Rev 4 Upgrade
Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2010 12:02 am
I've got an application I've been building and tweaking for years, but since I upgraded to the latest version of Revolution (the upgrade that involved the Revolution icon change), I get warning dialogs when saving as a stand-alone. I get one that says:
A stack "answer dialog" in file /Users/Steve/Desktop/Classroom Quizshow MacOSX/Classroom Quizshow.app/Contents/MacOS/Classroom Quizshow.rev is already in memory. The Revolution UI does not distinguish stacks which have identical names, so editing these stack files while both are in memory could result in data loss.
I get that message maybe 10 times during the stand-alone creation process. I also get the following dialog once during the stand-alone build process:
A stack with the same name as the one you are trying to load is already open. Before loading /Users/Steve/Desktop/Classroom Quizshow/MacOSX/Classroom Quizshow.app/Contents/MacOS/Classroom Quizshow.rev, what do you want to do with stack: /Users/Steve/Documents/CQ latest build/Classroom Quizshow.rev, Classroom Quizshow? with options Save, Purge, and Cancel. I choose Purge but don't know why.
I finally get a message saying the stand-alone was saved properly, but it doesn't work properly. Specifically what doesn't work properly is that changes like new sets of questions or new teams are not saved when the application is closed and reopened. These changes are supposed to be saved to substacks contained within the application. It has worked for years, but now it doesn't.
I confess that I've never understood what the "purge from memory" setting does. That second dialog message seems to have something to do with that.
The first dialog message really confuses me, though, because there is no stack named "answer dialog" in my application--not one that I explicitly created anyway--although of course I do use the Answer function. Help?!?!? And thank you in advance for even reading this far.
