Make Stack Name = New Stack FileName

Great Compromise!

Okay, glad that's worked out.

If you manually check for updates and re-download last update, it'll be the new version.

After a trial, I don't care for the naming dialog. Count me in the "no" column.

The revIDELibrary method names the file and stack simultaneously ensuring they're the same with a 6-line fix that's fast and effective, eliminating the need for an extra naming dialog. It's what other programs do. Give it a try.

in stack "RevIDELibrary", at about line 7597, in Toolset > Libraries:

Code: Select all

# Check if the stack has a filename. IF not, redirect to save as
   if the effective filename of stack tStackName is empty then
      revIDEActionSaveStackAs the long ID of stack tStackName
--add the following code--------------
      set the itemDel to slash
      get item -1 of the effective filename of stack tStackName  --short name.extention
      if it <> empty then  --user entered a name
         set the itemDel to "."
         set the name of stack tStackName to item 1 of it  --short name
      end if
--end add---------------------
      exit revIDESaveStack
   end if

Edit: Got you, and I added a couple of small tweaks (credited you for this though):

Code: Select all

-- terryL's script for renaming the stack on save
      put the itemDelimiter into tOldDelim
      set the itemDelimiter to slash
      get item -1 of the effective filename of stack tStackName  --short name.extention
      if it <> empty then  --user entered a name
         set the itemDel to "."
         if the title of stack tStackName is "" then set the title of stack tStackName to item 1 of it
         set the name of stack tStackName to item 1 of it  --short name
      end if
      set the itemDelimiter to tOldDelim
      -- end terryL's script (28-12-24)
 

This way, it sets the title of the stack too (if it's empty) - no more * on stack titles (if the user hasn't set one).
It also restores the itemDelimiter to whatever it was before this bit of script runs.

I've also made the rename on new stack a prefs setting. So those who like it can turn it on, those who don't can leave it off. (default is off)

Oh, almost forgot: I also added the check for curl (in case you run the updater on a linux distro without it). Thanks Richmond. (Still can't work out why Xubuntu doesn't include this).

Herding cats would be easier than satisfying opinionated puds like me. I don't know how you do it. Thanks tperry.
