Can a substack icon in a standalone be rendered invisible?

[Chipp Walters]

Hi Steve,

If I were you, I'd just not include the subStack in the Standalone build 
process, then just open it when you need if from your standalone. I 
never use the 'put substacks in separate folders' feature of standalone 
builder. My substacks are always either libraries, or special biz logic 
windows, never data storage stacks. IMO, it's important to keep content 
and biz logic separate, which is about 180 degrees off of what standard 
card based stack databases do. When you mix them both, you risk a whole 
new level of possible bugs which can be introduced.

You can always get the filepath to the standalone by using the address 
function.

best,
Chipp
