how to revert stack B, C and D from stack A

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Claudi,

Revert simply reads the stackfile from disk again. It doesn't only  
revert the substacks but also the mainstack. I don't think this is  
what you want.

Perhaps you want to delete stacks stacks B, C and D and replace them  
with a new version. First, not that this won't work if your stacks  
are part of a standalone.

delete stack B
go to stack "/disk/folder/stackB.rev"
set the mainstack of "stackB" to "Your Mainstack"
save stack "Your Mainstack"

Same with stacks C and D. You cannot open the new stack before  
deleting the old one. However, you could give the new stacks a  
different name at first. Suppose that StackB Update is a substack of  
your updating stack:

delete stack B
go to stack "StackB Update"
set the mainstack of "stackB Update" to "Your Mainstack"
set the name of stack "StackB Update" to "StackB"
save stack "Your Mainstack"

I hope this gives you some ideas.

Best,

Mark
