[issue19042] Idle: add option to autosave 'Untitled' edit window

2013-09-17 Thread Bruce Sherwood
Bruce Sherwood added the comment: Very nice, Terry. Good point about positive vs. negative specifications. I think maybe your "Prompt to Save versus Autosave" is the best scheme, because one is specifying whether or not to do something "active" (namely, put up a save dialo

Bruce Sherwood added the comment: For what it's worth (maybe not much?), the version of IDLE produced by Guilherme Polo in the 2009 Google Summer of Code, which VPython (vpython.org) uses under the name VIDLE, does not have any problem with starting with an edit window and in fact I alway

Bruce Sherwood added the comment: Thanks for the reassurance, Ned. I would be happy to help, but frankly I don't know my way around in IDLE very well, and I pretty much tried simply to get Polo's changes into the hopper. Presumably if you want a view of the separate issues he addr
