I know how to save/apply a script. The fact is that, at least on my system, if I just do a <ctrl>-S or a Files/Save (script and stack), error messages do NOT appear and the Apply button becomes gray, even if there are errors. If I kill the script editor, at least I get to see the error messages.

I'm happy that the system works better on your system <grin>

I've given up on saving scripts, and now only delete/kill the script editors. That way I'm SURE to see the error messages. Far too often I have "saved" a script and the save did not take, with no error window visible.


I have never seen this, ever.

To save/apply a script, either click the button at the bottom of the editor, or hit the Enter key on the keyboard while your cursor is somewhere in the script itself. To close the script editor window, hit the Enter key a second time. You should get any relevant error messages after the first "apply" (Enter key) is done.

If you mean you are clicking the close box on the editor window itself, you can do that, and you should get any compile error messages that way too. It is more standard to use either the Apply button or the Enter key though (and quicker.)

Note that there are two kinds of errors in scripts. There are compile errors, which the IDE will warn you about when you try to apply a script, and there are also runtime errors, which will not be evident until the script actually executes. Runtime errors can't be caught during the compile process and you won't see warnings about those until they actually happen.
