Save and compile in code editor does not save lua code into panel

[synth]

Hi,

I have a bzip panel as I want to package all my images and Lua code into 1 file. When I edit the lua code and “Save and compile” it does not seem to save the code into the bzpanel though it does compile it.

I am wondering if saving/exporting the panel when the user presses “Save and compile”, to ensure any Lua changes are saved, is a good idea.

Note: I will implement it myself and send a pull request if its a good idea 😀

It was never designed that way. The save and compile, saves to the Ctrlr state not to the file. Everything is kept there, unless explicitly saved by the user.

Oh ok. Is the Ctrlr state then written to disk immediately somewhere, in case there is a crash after a change in a lua method ? (very common during development :P)

[atom]

No, there is a “Save CTRLR state” menu option that does that and additionaly there is a timer that saves the state at a defined time interval (you can set how often in the global settings).

[synth]

Ah ok thanks.
