PB5.20LTS - Odd Session history window behaviour

[ColeopterusMaximus]

Hi, I'm not sure this is a bug or it is just the expected behaviour.

When I have a crash on the PB IDE, when I restart it I get a window called "Session History" which contains earlier copies of my code. That is fine and dandy.

What I do not get is what I'm supposed to do with it, the only action it seems to allow is for the window to be closed, nothing else can be done.

clicking on elements on the list does nothing, right click does nothing, etc.

You can use ctrl+a then ctrl+p in the code window though to copy the source to the clipboard.

Is this the expected behaviour? I haven't seen what happens in windows and I do not have a windows computer at hand to test.

Is this lack of sensible behaviour a bug? or is it just a dialogue window which has non-finished functionality, if so it seriously needs a recover button/functionality.

I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 x64 with PB 5.20 x64

Seems that I simply don't understand how to properly use the Session History features because I've experienced the same problem: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 18&t=55456

I think that feature should disable by default . never need backup on disk itself (only external disk , or cloud disk).

I find the Session History one of the most useful features of the IDE!

I keep my Tool Panel on the right-hand-side of the IDE and arrange for the Session History window to open over the Tool Panel with the same height as the IDE window. (It is actually wider than the Tool Panel and covers a little of the code window of the IDE and the screen to the right.)

I choose the item from the left-hand panel and then use 'copy' and 'paste' to move the required code. Alternatively just highlight the code required in the right-hand panel and then drag it to the appropriate place in the IDE.

It would be nice if the tree could be collapsed easily. An open node can be closed, in the usual way of clicking the - box. Alternatively by double-clicking the vertical line between nodes.
