save stack as filename failing most of the time

[Paul Hibbert]

I tried, but it works fine for me every time in LC8.1.2 (Build 14013) (I no longer have RC3 installed), on MacOS Sierra 10.12.2.

This is the test script I used:

on mouseUp

put"/Users/paulhibbert/Documents/001 Test Folder/paultest.xx.to.Compile.livecode" into tFileName

replace "xx" with char -4 to -1 of the seconds in tFileName

save stack "paultest" as tFileName

if the result is empty then

answer "Success!"

else

answer "Save Failed!" && the result

end if

end mouseUp


Initially I tried with the same file name, just overwriting each time, that never failed, so I added the last four digits of the seconds to make a more unique name, but that never failed either. I also tried this from within the test stack, and then with a separate stack to issue the save command, they both worked fine too.

If there’s anything else you can think that is worth trying, just ask.
