number of substacks- practical limits

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Kurt,

You can open as much script windows or property palettes as you want... 
Don't you?
To do this there are not thousands of stacks (or substacks) in the IDE.
Think of such an architecture to solve your problem:
Create a template substack (only one!) and clone it on the fly when 
needed :-)
And keep your main stack as a container.
Best regards,
