Finding out what IDE/version a stack is associated with?

[Norval Bard]

Hi,
Is there some way to determine what IDE or what LC version a given stack was created with?
Thanx,

Hi.

Check out the "version" and the "environment" in the dictionary.

In version 8.1 and later you can check the stack's minStackFileVersion property. For earlier versions you may need to check the binary header of the stack file, but since LC stacks are forward-compatible it's normally rare that you'd need to do that.

Have you encountered a problem working with older stacks?

Maybe I'm over-thinking it, but recently when using "save as..." under the IDE, I noticed that the the default setting was 'LC legacy' and since it's been taking an unusually long time for these simple stacks to save, I have wondered if they were being saved as legacy and not current versions.

I'll work on 'version' and 'environment', too, to learn that as well, thanks.

Good luck.

Note that in a standalone, the "version" returns the version the standalone was saved in.
