You're right, there are things you can do in the IDE that it would be unaware of. But these are simple edits made to scripts using the standard script editor window. I haven't narrowed down the exact circumstances that cause the IDE to not save those changes but it does happen. I use the

Oh that's interesting. Save as Standalone does not save your script changes beforehand. Well that is good to know. Still, I save every time I make a series of code changes that will compile, like every few lines or so. I think with GLX2 and Remo, simple hitting the enter key will save and compil

Also, remember now that GLX2 is open source, and that has an autosave feature as well. Remo (heretofore tRev) also auto saves if I am not mistaken. Bob On Dec 7, 2010, at 5:32 PM, Björnke von Gierke wrote: > Yes that is annoying. > > The problem here is that there's no assured way for the L

I'm not totally sure about this now but I think the circumstances involved using the "Save as Standalone" option. I did that to create a new standalone and got the usual prompt about saving everything so assumed everything had been saved. Only after I ran the standalone and found that the

Yes that is annoying. The problem here is that there's no assured way for the LC engine to know wether a stack has been changed. Sure, the IDE tracks mouse clicks, changed scripts and a few other things. But if for example, you lock messages at the wrong point, then the IDE is unaware, and thi

I just came across another instance of a pet peeve of mine. I lost a couple of hours of scripting work because for some reason that isn't clear to me the IDE doesn't always save everything when you exit. It asked me if I wanted to save and I confirmed that I did, yet a bunch of coding cha
