Hi Jon, Just because it’s a bit of a side-effect. It’s not clear to the user that her schematic is going to be saved. She could theoretically have changes there that she wasn’t sure about yet. (Although it seems like a long-shot that she’d then go spend some time in CvPcb, I guess.)
Still, it’s a side-effect so I don’t like it. Nor do I like nanny dialogs. Thus my conundrum. ;) Cheers, Jeff. > On 20 Mar 2018, at 17:28, Jon Evans <j...@craftyjon.com> wrote: > > Why don't you like the idea of saving the schematic when you hit the save > button?
