Saving/Opening configuration files #9

Closed fabiocosta0305 closed 3 years ago

fabiocosta0305 commented 4 years ago

It would be nice to

  1. Define a file extension for the PW3270 configuration files for those who need to access multiple 3270 instances/boxes
  2. Turning saving/opening those configuration files more seemingless, if possible associate them with file explorers

Are you using linux? If yes why not using the "Create desktop icon" option for every instance? It will create a personalized launcher for the instance.

For me it's okay... But for some people that has not a so big tech background (believe me, I know some) it would be easier if this got on an extension mapping by the file explorer. I would suggest to give a look on how WC3270 do on Windows as an idea.

Association with the *.3270 extension working on linux unstable version. It will be available on master after next merge.

fabiocosta0305 commented 4 years ago

It worked here on Ubuntu, just tested.

Works here (openSUSE Tumbleweed), BUT: the "open session" dialog comes with a filter set to "TN3270 files" and that's good, but when you save a session pw3270 does NOT add the extension, so how do you know what file extension those "TN3270 files" are supposed to have? I tried .tn3270 but it did not work, so I had to look hard in the internet to find out this page and this bug which finally told me what I needed. Most links in search engines point to the Brazillian government software repository, which does not bring a lot of information.

So, to make a long story short: the save session dialog should add the default extension if not provided by the user, AND the default extension should be documented somewhere.

If you think I need to open another bug just tell me so.

Hi,

Thanks. Don't need to open a new one. I'll fix it on this issue.

PerryWerneck commented 4 years ago

It's implemented on the 'unstable' version. The save-session dialog seens ok.
