If you create 27 sketches in one day you are advised to "go for a walk" #1005

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open the IDE
2. Hit Ctrl+N (or Command+N) 27 times to create 27 sketches

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to be able to create 27 sketches using the IDE.

Instead I am advised by a dialog box:

"You've reached the limit of auto naming of new sketches for the day. How about 
going for a walk instead?"

If I attempt again I get a different message:

"No really, time for some fresh air for you."

Seriously?

What version of the Arduino software are you using? On what operating
system?  Which Arduino board are you using?

Version 1.0.1
Mac OS/X
Board not relevant

Please provide any additional information below.

See this thread:

Screenshots of the dialog boxes there.

Humorous though the messages may be, you should be able to create 27 sketches 
in one day. Think of a school lab.

It's the autonaming of new sketches that is the problem (they get named 
"date[a..z]" (ie aug12a), so once you get to aug12z the algorithm is done.
If you "save as" some of the sketches with meaningful names and restart the IDE 
(deleting the non-saved temporary sketch windows), you won't have any problem 
starting the IDE again and creating additional sketches.

So I don't think this is much of a real problem.

> the algorithm is done.

The poster on the thread seems to think there is a problem. Can't it add two or 
three letters to the date? Why just a-z?

I mean, how would you like it if Windows only let you save 26 files a day? Not 
much of a real problem? Really?
