Tiger breaks hyperCard?

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Ti, Jacque and Chris,

I haven't done any new development with HC since years but I reopen  
it often to get some old recipes in my huge lib.
I made some experiments running 10.4.1.
I have to add (according to Jacque and Chris comments) that HC is  
located on a non-startup disk dedicated to Classic only.
I experimented that script editing works fine, start using and third  
party tools as windowScript too.
The only problem I found (but I did not search very deep :-) is that  
if new folder filepaths are well stored in the home stack (as they  
have to be according to user navigation) they obviously can't be used  
by the engine to open without dialog the stacks which are NOT in the  
same folder than HC itself.
This affects mainly the navigation buttons located on the home stack  
but can't be a real problem for any project :-)
