corrupted stack message

[Björnke von Gierke]

What LC version are you using to save, and what version to open it afterwards?

This message often pops up when you open a stack saved with a newer stackFileVersion in an older LC version, one that doesn't "know" the new version. So if you  save a stack with LC 7, and then try to open it with 6, then you'll get this message. Apparently a more friendly message was just added to the codebase, so future versions of LC  should be more clear about stacks which got saved in a newer version.

If this is the case, there's also a toggle in the settings, under "files & "memory": "Preserve stack file version on stacks saved in legacy format"

If however this is not the problem then, I suggest you send both the corrupted and the original versions of the stack to support at runrev.com, so they can find and remove whatever bug causes your stack to be corrupted.
