savingStandalone message

[Bob Sneidar]

I just compiled for Mac only and the dialog about the open library does not appear. However I am getting this runtime error:

Executing at 9:35:40 AM on Tuesday, November 15, 2016
Type: Handler: error in statement
Object: stack '/Applications/Forms Generator.app/Contents/MacOS/Forms Generator'
Line: go invisible to card 'Main' of stack 'Forms Generator'
Line Num: 12
Hint: openStack

Comments: 

Remember this compiles on 8.0.1 some something dramatic has changed. And not in a good way.

It looks like after it's done compiling for Windows, it is leaving the copied library in memory (why it would have that copy open I do not know), so that when it goes to comile for Mac a second library is open in memory and it wants to save/purge it. As I mentioned this started happening with 8.1.1.
