Script editor file saving

Status: Completed

When editing a Script. The path for the saving files  defaults to the last opened file, instead of remembering the path for each file being editted.  This causes files to be saved in the directory of the last file opened, which many times results in the wrong saving location. This is especially an issue when have large number of script files in different directories.

 

I would prefer that each script file that was being edited would keep it path separate and stored so that it always saves the files to the location that it was opened from.

Hi Pesmith8,

 

I understand your point, and I agree with it.  As a temporary workaround, try hitting the key sequence <Ctrl-S> in the SCRIPT panel.  That will perform exactly the save action you're requesting without a file dialog.

Thanks Brad

 

I have been using the ctrl S most of the time, but every now and then I still see a file being saved in a wrong, spot.
