Stack name vs file name indication

[Jim Bufalini]

Sara,

Thank you for your answer and offer. For saving backups I found a free
plugin called Backups Picker from So Smart Software that periodically backs
up the stacks you're working on without switching files like Save As does.
And now that I know about filename of stack function I hopefully won't make
the mistake I started to make earlier of editing the right stack in the
wrong file.

I wonder though how many people have made this mistake and when they
reloaded the *right* stack assumed their work must have just disappeared.
I've worked with some IDE's that have an Also Save As right after Save As
that allows you to make a copy without switching files. Nice option.

Jim

Hi Jim,

the filename of stack "mystack" will give you the info you need.
Also of use is "delete stack whatever" which despite it's scary name,
actually only deletes the copy from memory, so you can reload the
working version. I have written scripts to do just what you are
doing, so if you need more help, just let me know and I'll dig them out.

Cheers,
Sarah
