> I’ve got an app I’ve been working with for years.  I hadn’t compiled it into a standalone for maybe a year or more.  It works fine within LiveCode, but now I can’t get the standalone to work.  There are at least two symptoms:

I’ll bet this is the problem.  Why would the standalone making process be putting .rev extensions on these data files?

Chopping off the .rev part makes the data files work in the standalone.  Is this a bug?  I’m using LiveCode 4.5.3.

That still didn’t fix my problem of having the bottom of the standalone window cut off, though.
