EDITOR: Deletes commented objects when saving

Post by **Gambit37** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 7:50 pm

I commented out some of my [New - Objects] and reloaded the txt file into the editor. The next time I saved using the editor It had deleted all the commented objects out of the file! I haven't teste dthis with sounds/bitmaps but it's possible the behaviour may be the same.

Can you prevent this behaviour please?

The behavious *will* be the same for any non-dungeon thing anywhere (i.e. comments spacing, order of sections). The Editor just loads in the dungeon and saves it out again - i.e. it does not store a copy of the text file.

As to whether it should be changed; don't know - I'll put this as a suggestion as you have a good point and it would be nice if it saved that sort of thing.

Yeah, I realise preserving the file structure/format accurately is difficult. It took macromedia several dot versions of Dreamweaver before their 'roundtrip' HTML formatting preservation worked properly.

Be cool if you colud somehow do it tho!

Has this been fixed in latest versions?

Would be alot of work I'm afraid. Very unlikely to get round to this!

OK. I'd better start keeping my notes in a separate file then. Thanks for the clarification.
