Bug ID: 387884
Summary: Scripter does not run edits unless saved
Product: krita
Version: 4.0 pre-alpha
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Scripting
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: bunf2...@apps.opensourcelaw.biz
Target Milestone: ---
If a scripter script has been saved, using the Run action causes scripter to
load and run the script from its associated file - even if there are unsaved
changes in the script window.
To reproduce:
start scripter
file->new script
print("hello")
file-> save (choose filename and save)
press Run/Ctrl-R:
======================================
hello
add to edit window:
print("world")
press Run/Ctrl-R:
======================================
hello
That is, "world" is not printed, despite being in the edit window. This is
because saving the document sets _activeDocument flag and that causes the
script to load directly from the file.
There are different approaches to solving this
* add a dirty flag to the edit box and check that, put a dialog up to query
saving before running - or visual indicator that script has been changed or
toolbar warning that running script from file
* automatically save edit window before running (or have this as an option in
settings)
* have separate actions save+run (... from the file) and run (...from the
editor window)
* have separate actions run from file, run from editor (manual saving)
* have a "run-from-file" mode which doesn't display the edit window - or makes
it read only?
* run only script in window
* some combination
I personally would like to be able to run scripts directly from the file - so
that I can use a different editor.
Wanted feedback on UI before diving into patching.
