Can't save files #24

Closed davidmpatterson closed 4 years ago

davidmpatterson commented 5 years ago

I can't save files.

To reproduce:

  1. On Mac, start Teleprompter.
  2. Enter any text into the prompting window.
  3. Click the "Save" (disk) icon.
  4. Click "Add File". Note that the screen is now cleared and all editing is gone.
  5. Click "Import Files" and navigate to a text file. Error occurs stating that the file couldn't be imported (a TEXT file, really?).
  6. Click the down arrow next to the name of the file you attempted to save earlier. Click "OK" of the dialog that appears (showing "HTML" as the file extension). Now, look at the file saved and also note that the file length is 0.

Hello David,

Teleprompter's exported HTML is non-standard. It contains only the part of the contents. Therefore, if you attempt to save no text, it will save a file of length 0. The current version only checks for the file's extension when identifying a format. Because of this, you could simply change the .txt extension to .html and the program would take it in...

I'm adding this to things to improve in our next big release.

Hello @davidmpatterson,

Long after you reported this we realized most of the saving issues reported were related to a bug in our use of the change detection used for auto-saving. I'm pleased to say all the issues were fixed in the new release version 2.4, which was released on Monday.

If you have any other problems feel free to file a new issue.
