Description | Use the filename of stack property to specify where a stack file is stored on the user's system. If the stack is a main stack, its filename of stack property reports the file path of the file the stack is stored in. If the stack is the main stack of a standalone application, the filenameof stack property reports the name and location of the application. If the stack is a substack, its filename of stack property is empty. To find out what file a substack is stored in, use the form the effective filename of stack. You cannot set the filename of stack property of a substack and attempting to will result in an execution error being thrown. If the stack has not yet been saved, its filename of stack property is empty. *Cross-platform note:* On OS X systems, standalone applications are stored as application bundles. A bundle behaves like a file but is actually a folder, and the main stack of a standalone application is inside this folder. The filename of stack property reports the location of the application inside the bundle, not the bundle's location. For example, if the bundle's file path is "/Volumes/Disk/MyApp.app/", the filename of the application's main stack might be "/Volumes/Disk/MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp". | ||||||
