Saving when you don't want it to...

[hinckleyj]

Hi All,

I am new to PureBasic and have an odd issue which I am sure has an easy fix?

When I save a program, and later open it, I may try some changes that I don't want to keep (thus, leaving the original saved version as it was).

However, I have noticed that PureBasic saves the 'test changes' even though I have not hit Save.

I have disabled the Autosave option in Preferences > Editor and yet it still saves what I don't want to be saved?

Is there any way to only save when I click 'Save'?

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure what's going wrong, but I have auto-save turned off and it never saves unless I click the Save icon.

Hi,

if you make 'test changes' and want to compile the program it has to be saved,
else you compile the file which is stored on the disk without your changes.

But you can always go back with the Sessionhistory function.
Or use CompilerIf
Or save it with a different name
Or ...

The compiler could get the input directly from the IDE, or from a temporary saved file.

But you can always go back with the Sessionhistory function.

Enabling the session-history is a no-go with latest 'stable' LTS release.

No it doesn't. I can load a source, make some changes, hit F5 to compile/run it, then quit after; all without the source being saved or changed.

Here it works without problems. (Win7 x64 with PB5.42 x86)

Lucky you!

Any specific reason you still use PB x86 on x64 OS?
