Supress Standalone Builder Warnings

Hi all. 

I have about had it with the Standalone asking me if I want to save, purge or cancel for stacks that are already open. I ONLY ever have one version of any stack that is open, unless the Standalone Builder is leaving stack IN the Standalone in memory, which would be breathtakingly bad programming, and I do not think they are doing that. 

What I would like to do is edit the library that is popping up that dialog, and setting it to where it always cancels (doesn’t change anything). I know I will have to update the library each time a new release came out but it’s worth it just to avoid the hassle of quitting and relaunching every time a different standalone need to be built. 

I tried editing the script of revSaveAsStandalone.livecode in the MacOS bundle, but the word “purge” does not occur in the library. Any idea what library is actually popping up that dialog? 

BTW the standalone building IS much faster with 9.6.12 (rc1)
