Legacy stack woes

[Rob Cozens]

Hi All,

In setting up an SDBII demo for interested parties I have run into 
the need to distribute stacks in Legacy format so the software can be 
used by Linux developers.

Working in RRv2.7+ and building distribution downloads in Legacy 
format cries out for: developers' handlers to:

1. Identify the format of a stack (AFAIK, the SmartProperties plugIn 
will not retrieve stack properties, and lacking the list of 
properties by object available in pre-v2.7 docs, I don't even know 
the name of the stack property designating Legacy or v2.7+ 
format.  Without this capability, I have to open each stack I save in 
Legacy format in v2.7+ with an older version of RunRev that will 
throw an error if the format is not Legacy.)

2.  Save a stack in Legacy format, specifying an extension other than 
".rev" (Three of Serendipity's four proprietary file types remain in 
stack format.  Every time I save those stacks in Legacy format, I 
must subsequently rename them to remove ".rev".)

3. Save multiple stacks in Legacy format without having to reset the 
"Save as type" popUp every time.

Suggestions or comments?
