I'm confused: you and someone else claimed that they hit the <enter> key to save a script, but when I hit the <enter> key, it just puts a new line into the script!!!

You said "lots of cracks in the IDE". I'd have to agree.
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. Too bad window visibility is handled correctly during a script editor kill, but not when saving a script. It can't be that hard to do the latter correctly if the former is correct.


Jon,

Sounds like you were saving the script, before Applying it. I got caught a few times on that also. I am in the habit of hitting the enter key after editing a script to apply it now. Otherwise, the script says what you edited, but it executes what was last applied before your last edits. I don't like this way of doing it, I think the IDE should ask if you want to apply before running the script again, or always apply when leaving the window focus, and having a proper unlimited undo for at least the text editing of a script -- that can't be that hard to do.

I like to leave the script I am debugging/improving open with the script running so I can quickly try different things with nary a mouse click. You learn about "apply" very quickly in that case.

Dennis
