I agree with this message. This is one of several cases where TeXmacs sends messages to the user that require a response to the status line. These are easily overlooked - sometimes I will attempt to continue editing, wonder why TeXmacs is not responding until I figure out that there is a message that requires a "yes or no" on the status line. Most applications would treat these with a popup window. Regarding the overwriting of exported latex files, it seems to me that the default should be to accept the overwriting, or even to overwrite silently and create a backup. Overwriting is invariably correct. Most applications do not require explicit approval to overwrite an automatically generated file. > The perfect solution would be, if TeXmacs would remember that it has > itself written that file, and that it did not change since. Yes, this would also make a lot of sense. Daniel Bump _______________________________________________ Texmacs-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/texmacs-dev
