That prompt to delete is gone in the latest beta. I noticed that if an ijs file in ~temp is empty it is deleted without a prompt if it is not empty it is kept without a prompt. Not bad, but not obvious.
If I'm creating a script that I want to keep I usually save it to a permanent name outside of ~temp before I even start putting anything in it. But if I'm just trying things and need an ijs to hold things then I leave it. Now I have several numbered ijs files in ~temp which I have no idea what they are. Then in the Release Notes is the sentence, "Menu File|Open creates and opens a non-existent file name." What does that mean?
