Where is stack?

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Bill,

Actually, if you duplicate the file on disk, you'll not get a copy of  
the current stack 'they are working on' (as you say) but a copy of  
the stack as it was last saved.
So you might prefer to clone the stack and save this clone.
BTW it's not an easy process (above all when the main stack has  
substacks) since Rev does not accept to have two stacks with the same  
name in memory.
So you have to rename temporarily all stacks to save a real clone  
(all stacks names included and not 'copy of')
Probably the 'SaveProjects' handler in the card of my 'Backups  
Picker' plugin might get you started to achieve this.

Best Regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet
