Hi JP- That's correct, A.sch does not get modified. Only the contents shown are changed.
Here is a video showing the behavior: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LnG2khusuEal3E2I8-NPEZ-A9dA_ag8O/view?usp=sharing If you don't see the same behavior, perhaps this is linux-only? -S 2018-03-29 9:23 GMT-07:00 jp charras <jp.char...@wanadoo.fr>: > Le 29/03/2018 à 18:04, Seth Hillbrand a écrit : > > Thanks for the feedback.
