openCard in plugin stacks

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Pete,

have you had a look at the Plugin Settings already? In this window, you 
can choose messages that are sent to the plugin.

On the other hand, I think that the plugins I've made so far, including 
Installer Maker, don't have the problem you describe. The preOpenCard 
and preOpenStack messages just fire. Is it possible that something 
blocks these messages in your copy of LC?

If you have named your plugin revSomething, any errors won't show up.
