Summary: crazy popup dialog asking whether to discard changes
Initial Comment:
Steps to reproduce:
- create and save an abstraction called myabs.pd. Close it.
- create and save a new patch in the same folder called main.pd
- in main.pd instantiate a [myabs] object
- open the [myabs] object, modify it without saving, close it.
- in main.pd, in edit mode, click on the [myabs] object
Expected result: nothing should happen, except the [myabs] instance should be selected
Observed result:
myabs.pd is opened in its own window, and a dialog window pops up asking "Discard changes in myabs.pd?"
Besides the question making no sense at all, note that this is the old pd-vanilla-like message, that in Pd-Extended is usually replaced by the opposite question "Save changes in...". But I am using Pd-Extended
If you select "yes" (to discard changes), then the "*" in the windows' title bar disappears, but the content of the window doesn't revert to as it was before being changed. So you're seing a completely inconsistent situation, in which:
- you have modified the contents of the instance of [myabs]
- yet myabs.pd's window doesn't show the "*" in the title bar, as if it had been saved after changing it.
Pd-Extended 0.42.5
Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit
I can't set the priority but this is definitely critical.
