Comment (by nkirchner):
I'm on OS X Lion.
This patch does start and stop the server. Starting the server
initializes three python2.7 processes. Two of them are ~100MB and one is
~5MB. Stopping the server or exiting Sage.app terminates the two larger
of these, while leaving the ~5MB python2.7 process running. This last
running process is a problem for deleting/renaming Sage.app, and does not
go away on its own.
Telling Sage.app to start a terminal session also spawns a ~5MB python2.7
process which persists after exiting both that terminal session and
Sage.app.
Right-clicking a .txt file and selecting Sage.app to open it results in
the text of the file being placed above the first input cell without
linebreaks. That is, a text file consisting of
"""Hello. I'm a[[BR]]
sample text file in Sage.app"""
ends up being opened with the text "Hello. I'm a sample text file in
Sage.app", with the first input cell following the text. I've not yet
tried it with a proper text Sage worksheet.
Double-clicking a .sws file saved via Sage.app's File->Save As menu does
activate Sage.app. It pulls up an error page:
"There was an error uploading the worksheet. It could be an old
unsupported format or worse. If you desperately need its contents contact
the sage-support group and post a link to your worksheet. Alternatively,
an sws file is just a bzip2 tarball; take a look inside!"
Instead using the in-browser's File->Save worksheet to file... does not
appear to save anything.
Using Firefox instead, I can save an sws file and open it by double
clicking. I'm testing this functionality further right now.
