Storing Data in Standalone Apps

[G. Wolfgang Gaich]

or you use a serialized array. E.g.:

-- to save your preferences

global gPrefs
on mouseUp
     put the loc of this stack into gPrefs["Stackloc"]
     put the rect of this stack into gPrefs["StackRect"]
     put the backcolor of this stack into gPrefs["StackBCol"]
     put arrayencode(gPrefs) into url 
"binfile:c:\users\gg\myprefs\Test\prefs.dat"
end mouseUp

-- and to restore your prefs

global gPrefs
on mouseUp
     put arraydecode(url "binfile:c:\users\gg\myprefs\Test\prefs.dat") 
into gPrefs
     set the loc of this stack to gPrefs["Stackloc"]
     set the rect of this stack to gPrefs["StackRect"]
     set the backcolor of this stack to gPrefs["StackBCol"]
end mouseUp

-- You don't have to use globals. But if you do, you can use your 
preferences in any script.


Best Regards
Wolfgang

To save data in them, and that would include custom props, I need to do it in stack files that are not sub-stacks of the main stack.  In other words, any data to be saved, such as preferences or ongoing work, must be put in a stack other than the one being converted to a standalone.  Is that correct?
