Should .md files be recognized as charlist files? #239

Closed PaulMansour closed 2 years ago

PaulMansour commented 3 years ago

This might be nice as markdown files are handled nicely by github.

PhilLast commented 3 years ago

If I were to create file /here/this.md or rename an existing /here/this.whatever to /here/this.md then the next OpenProject would read it in as charlist here.this.

If there were a charlist there.that in the ws then ]setchanged there.that would write file /there/that.charlist unless there already existed a file /there/that.md when that would be overwritten instead.

Would that be useful?

I think the special casing around .dyalog files that writes back a fn, op or script as a .dyalog file if one of the relevant name exists - or at least a clone thereof - might be co-opted to enable this.

Apologies for the ambiguity of the last sentence. The parenthesis "- or at least a clone thereof -" refers to the special case, not the file. read:

@PaulMansour Your original post was a question. No-one else has answered it. Do you want me to implement the above solution?

PaulMansour commented 3 years ago

Yes, if there are no objections. Let me just rephrase how it will work.

If I create a .md file on disk, Acre will read it in as a .charlist file. If I edit a charlist in the workspace, and there exists a correspondingly named .md file, Acre will write back to that file.

I assume if there is both a .charlist and a .md with the same name, then Acre should prioritize the .charlist file.

PhilLast commented 3 years ago

Will do.

then Acre should prioritize the .charlist file.

That's OK at the time of writing it out but if at the time of _OpenProject- or Refresh two files exist both of which would create the same named object then acre objects, reports the problem and brings neither into the ws.

PaulMansour commented 3 years ago

Ok, sounds good.

Import content of .md file in APLSource as .charlist without renaming. Changing and saving a charlist overwrites a correctly named .md file.
