Stacks always open on launch

The aliases all referenced stacks, but they don't resolve and so they leave blank lines in the list. When there are blank lines, trying to open one of the plugins or loading one as a library is off by as many lines in the list as there are blanks. I.e., in the Plugin Manager I would select a line in the list, click "Open as toplevel", and a stack 3 lines up would open.

Yeah, I think the new IDE fixes the "other files" problem too, since I tried reproducing the bug and I couldn't (I added a few text files and aliases to non-text files during my test). If you *can* reproduce it, though, let me know and I'll fix it.
