'Blessed' plugins - improved with scripted solution

[MisterX]

I had a similar problem. Rev wouldn't save my prefs until I quit. WHich is
a major time waste if you have more than one stack opened. Also if RR happened
to crash, I'd loose my prefs.

I just modified their code to my liking... There's a bugzilla for it if you
want the mod. it's 2097. I would suggest doing the same thing... Of course
for the new users it's another problem...

edit script of cd 1 of stack revtools

find this line... and change the if statement.

  repeat for each line l in tStacksList
    if the visible of stack l and the mode of stack l < 3
    then put the rect of stack l & cr after tEditRects
  end repeat

Tested with Modal, modeless and palettes...

For your users, just include the revtools stack to be replaced - version
permitting
naturally ;)

Cheers
Xavier
