well the first approach is much much cooler than the latter one, innit? :-)

Jokes aside, one advantage is that someone else can create that "template" stack, my
customer in this case, and since this is a separate stack file it can thus contain substacks, 
which can be another big advantage in some situations.

Yes.

But as I wrote, if I load a stack from my hd, everything works as advertised!?
Anyway, I have a nice workaround and a happy customer.

Have a nice weekend.
