Yes, and this may be a bug (I tested Windows) - you get the path to the
stack you dropped in $1, but you don't get any messages to trap to prevent
that stack from opening... I tried trapping preOpenStack and openStack, and
it only triggers for the application, not the document stack that is
opening.

I think you should log this as a bug, unless someone has an answer for
this...
