Save dialog

[Jan Schenkel]

Hi Filippo,

I can't really help you with question (3), but I do
have good news for you for questions (1) and (2).
You will only see those "Save" dialog boxes in the
development environment.
In the final distribution, these don't show.

One suggestion I could give you for question (3) is to
keep RUnRev as GUI, and store the data in a different
way: a Valentina database, an XML-file,... and only
retrieve/save data as needed.
Unlike HyperCard, the use of stacks as databases isn't
MetaCard/RunRev's forte once the data goes over a
certain size.

Best regards,

Jan Schenkel.
