Maybe, but if so it's happening in a way not even Mark Waddingham is 
aware of (see his earlier post), and in ways I've never seen (and I do 
some weird things with stack files).

Most interesting here is that "is a file" returns true while "is a 
stack" returns false.

Were both of those tests run in the standalone?  MacOS changed some 
aspects of how apps are allowed to address contents of its internal 
bundle folders a while back, but I would be surprised if those come into 
play only when testing "is a stack" but not "is a file".

Is the stack file openable in the IDE?
