|
|
When I start RM then use it to load a KM file, it first asks whether I want to save its current upgrade. Can you incorporate an option to realise that no upgrade has yet been loaded and therefore there is no need to ask whether to save an upgrade?
I know that I can navigate with explorer to my km file and then a double click will start it with the km loaded, but that's not usually the way I start the program. |

The way I try to do this with my programs and scripts is that when there is any input I set a "dirty flag". I don't really mind if someone overwrites a field with exactly the same data, we just want to know whether they have done anything before they do "New" or "Open".
If no actions that might change the content have occured, when the user does a "New" or "Open" the dirty flag is off so I don't ask whether a save should be done.
I can understand that there are higher priorities, and it's difficult in some programming environments to be aware whether a field has changed. I have added this explanation in case there might be an easier way than comparing file contents.
Best regards |
