lost panel

[nozoku]

(don’t really know if it’s OSX related…)

Ive had two panels open and I was editing them for last few days. They’ve been automatically opened every time I opened the Ctrlr (standalone on mac). Today I’ve edited them both in Textedit to find&replace the checksum in sysex (with closed Ctrlr).

To my surprise the changes wasn’t present in Ctrlr. So I’ve closed both panels and reopened them from the files I thought they were saved to. And one of the panels was almost up to date (without these find&replace changes) but the second one was few days old.

So the question is – is Ctrlr saving the panels to some temporary place or something?

panels are saved as a Ctrlr state, it’s in the Ctrlr settings directory the file is called "Ctrlr.settings", ofcourse each panel can be saved to a specified file using the save/save as buttons.

ahhh… ok.

so I had two opened panels and when I clicked "save" only the one selected was saved to an external file? it looks like it… the other one was only a Ctrlr state and was not saved…

it was my misunderstanding of the way it worked. thanks for the info – I hope this mistake won’t happen to me again ” title=”Wink” />

maybe a "save all" button would help to avoid this…?

still something is wrong. I’ve worked on two panels, saved with one in focus and then with other in focus. still lost all the work today – nothing was saved for the second panel. only the first one is saved…

i’ll have a look, i checked on windows, created 3 panels saved each, re-opened them, it’s all there.

thanks!

EDIT: I’ve tried to reproduce it – created 2 panels, saved them, closed Ctrlr, opened, saved, closed – and the changes where always there… so I don’t know what was happening…
