Hi, as someone who came to Livecode attracted by the hook that it could be used by Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) I try and follow these threads but please take care with the use of abbreviations / acronyms. Some I’ve worked out others I’ve no idea : OSS open source S?????, SOS ??? or generally morse code dot dot dot dash dash dash dot dot dot “Save Our Souls” however it doesn’t read well below ;-)
My concern with external editors is based on my use of the tRev editor in the past, which while having some nice features often lost the edits I made. I have no idea how it communicated with the IDE. I agree with your comments re GIT. As a one man band it seems like over kill in my situation. So I am creating an AutoSave plugin that makes a backup every few minutes if the scripts have been modified (it has no knowledge of changes to the UI). It also produces a simple log file that describes the delta between backups. I am happy to share if it is of any interest. best wishes Skids Simon Knight s...@anvic.net Telephone : 01427 325911 Mobile : 07963 077071 Skype : jtidsskids > On 26 Feb 2017, at 01:05, Mike Kerner via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > I don't think SOS is the main future.
