Saving data in standalone

[Bob Sneidar]

Including datagrids? I have a save and restore method for Datagrids, but I don’t think I back up ALL the properties, just the critical ones.

I have a plugin that is not complete which can save livecode groups and all
of their properties, custom properties and scripts.  If you'd like I'll
send you some of the code. PM me.
Should be super easy to find the code u need, and then inverse it.
If you did that it would help me complete the plugin and I could release it.

this is also how levure operates, so if you build with levure, you can just
do this with stacks in the project

You can save external stacks or created on the fly stacks where ever you

Increasingly, whether macOS or Windows, that is not the Applications
(macOS) or Program Files/Program Files (x86) (Windows) folders. I find
the SAFEST place to save something is using
specialFolderPath("documents") and then create a folder structure for
your company or app in the user's Documents folder. OSes are becoming
more and more "sandboxed" to prevent malware and dumb user mistakes from
wrecking apps or the OS itself.
