i am trying to figure out how project files work and what seems to be J's caching behaviour is making it difficult ... too sticky, i have to close J down for each step of experimentation.
Eg i found that project files interpret NB. comment lines. The noun OTHERFILES interprets such lines into the Other tab within the Project Manager, resulting in eg, ~binary\nb.~projects\life\test0.ijs The test button even seems to run off that spurious line! Changing that noun in a project file is not reflected by builds or refresh tabs in the Project Manager, nor by deleting the built file, only by exiting and rebooting J. There generally seems to be some difficulty in getting J to recognise that files have changed. Eg i have not been able to get J to update an ijs file which was modified by an outside text editor ... requires closing the J editor window for the file and creating a new editor window for it. At least a refresh capability would be useful, if not detection of change and prompt for update. ~greg ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
