Full Version: Some things small for the version 5 wish list

Show messages:  1-5  6-25  26-45  46-49

Hi Michael,

You are the best! When v5 comes up I may have to buy 20 licenses!

I have it working but I would like a somewhat different way but it may not be possible.

I found myself doing incremental saves often, so I could backtrack as needed.

But this makes entry after entry into the list of recent files and pushing files I would like to have remained off the list.

Is there now (or in the future) a way to:

- Save the current file again, the file was created initially with just an version number at the end - no change to the name when saving - just like a "normal" save.

- Also save a backup with suffix in a directory, specified somewhere in the options, so I have my "snapshots" for backtracking as needed.

- Also not add the backup files to the recent file list.

This is what I am used to with my favorite programming editor and I find it works well and it wouldn't fill up the recent file list.

For now the IncrementalSave and the improved version is a big help.

Thanks much.

Frederick

Hi Frederick,

re:

There isn't any way currently to not have the file get added to the recent file list, but I will set up a way to do that.

The way it will work is by giving an option to the incrementalSave() and saveAs() calls.

So in IncrementalSaveSuffix.js line 51 where it currently has:

moi.geometryDatabase.incrementalSave();

you would give it the option to not put it on the recent files list by giving it a 'nomru=true' option like this:

moi.geometryDatabase.incrementalSave( 'nomru=true' );

And on line 70 in IncrementalSaveSuffix.js where it currently has:

moi.geometryDatabase.saveAs( path_with_suffix );

you would do this:

moi.geometryDatabase.saveAs( path_with_suffix, 'nomru=true' );

Hi Michael,

We need a way to make donations to your company.

I would jump on that in a heartbeat.

PayPal makes it easy for me as I can setup recurring payments.

Something to think about.

Hi Michael
please add to the wishlist that I would use every day
Array object to curve with history enabled by default
That would be a game changer for me
