What does File / Open do?

[bmmpxf]

There isn't any result to these options as far as I can tell. If either are supposed to bring up a dialog, they don't.

[bartvde]

No they save your current state to the browser's Local Storage. When you come back the next day, you can press Open and your last saved state will come back from the browser's Local Storage.

Maybe we should add a dialog with this info after Save completes?

[bartvde]

I am guessing the dialog will be annoying for people using this function often. Making the options more explicit in their wording.

@bmmpxf can you add this to the docs as well?

[bmmpxf]

I'm not certain that this is any less confusing. Perhaps I'm not the target audience, but when I read "Local Storage" I think of a file download, not a browser cache. Is there another phrase we can use?

And by the way, might want to make the width of the menu bigger:

[bartvde]

So what wording do you suggest? Or what other change?

[bmmpxf]

Hmm, I'd say "Local browser storage" or "Browser cache" or something along those lines. Something to make it clear that no files are being transferred.

And while a popup may be annoying, if there were some way, perhaps the bottom left or right of the screen, to say "Saved to {whatever we call it}", that would give the user some helpful feedback.

[bartvde]

So maybe going back to the old menu titles and providing the user feedback that disappears after X seconds?

[bmmpxf]

I'd prefer to keep the more descriptive info in both places if possible.

[bartvde]

okay I'll work on something, I'll let you know when it's ready.

[bartvde]

@bmmpxf changes deployed let me know what you think

[bmmpxf]

Looks good, though I'd have some feedback for Open as well.

[bartvde]

with Open you can see it loaded in the canvas or not?

[bartvde]

but it's easy enough to add if you really want

[bmmpxf]

Open works fine. I know it might be redundant, but I'd still like to see "Configuration loaded from browser storage" or however you want to phrase it.

[bartvde]

Since there is not a lot of space I can add Loaded successfully if that makes sense.

[bartvde]

is that okay as the text @bmmpxf or you have another suggestion (that is short enough) ?

[bmmpxf]

That's fine, if space is an issue.
