Supress Standalone Builder Warnings

[Bob Sneidar]

Hi Marty. 

I really do want to convert to Levure, but I had a lot of refactoring to do to completely cut over to Andre’s Publish and Subscribe framework before I do that, and I am waiting until that is completed. I am just at the point now, so maybe that will be my next project.

Personally I think it causes more problems than it solves, but the solution is to add (multiple) handlers to your stack to avoid the dialog. Most of my stacks work okay without the additions, but if you have certain handlers in the message hierarchy you get the dialog. The code you need to add is in the link above.

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.

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.
