When Rev saves a stack, it first renames the original stack by placing a
tilde (~) in front of the stack's file name. Then it makes a copy of the
stack and names the copy what the original stack used to be. At this
point there are now two copies of your stack:
myStack -- this is the copy
~myStack -- this was the original
If the save operation works, the tilde copy is deleted from the hard
drive. If the save doesn't work for some reason, then you still have the
tilde copy (which was the original) to fall back on. You can delete the
tilde and continue to use the stack.
The tilde copy will be located in the same folder as the original stack.
In your case, there is no tilde copy because Rev 1.1.1 saved the stack
successfully in the past, and Rev 2.0 won't save it at all.
