double-clicking a document

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Scott,

When you double-click a stack, even if it has a different file  
extension, your standalone opens it just like Revolution opens a  
stack when you double-click a file with file extension "rev". As far  
as I know, you don't need to do this with a script.

According to the docs, you can delete a stack using any stack  
reference. This implies that the longfilepath of $1 would work, but  
why do you use longfilepath and not simply $1? Probable using the  
short name of the stack is more reliable. You may have found a  
Revolution bug.

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
