Comment (by nkirchner):
On OS X Lion, running Sage 5.5 compiled from source.
Notes on lingering process after stopping server:
{{{ ps aux | grep (process id) }}} reveals it's sage-cleaner. The process
persists for at least six hours. I'm looking into this further, and think
it's a separate issue from Sage.app: I had previously observed that
running sage from a terminal did not spawn a lingering process, but that
has changed. Running sage from terminal also creates a sage-cleaner
process.
About the opening of files:
On opening up documents by double clicking or right-clicking and selecting
Open With..., I have found that compressed .sws (.sws.zip) files do not
open. Text files open fine... I had the enigmatic title "{{{id=9|" in my
test case, but all the cells imported just fine. Compressed text
(.txt.zip) does the same thing as non-compressed text.
Opening with .sws format also preserves output cells, including graphics.
Opening .txt files preserves non-graphical output cells.
One issue I came across with the opening of files: With Sage.app running,
but the server not active, opening a .txt file via Open With... ->
Sage.app did not work. I resolved this by noting that my sage.log
complained "Worksheet admin/xx does not exist". Deleting the
~/.sage/sagenb.../admin/xx folder fixed the problem and the text file
opened fine.
Otherwise, when instructing Sage.app to open files, it does not matter
whether the server is running, or Sage.app is running. Sage.app will open
and start the server as necessary and open up the files.
