Hi Wayne, I agree with your statement " Perhaps the shortcut save should do all that as well.". Is this something that could easily be implemented in one of the next releases? In the meantime, I'll keep using the M:Project:Save command ...

They both do, in software terms, project.saveModified(), which means that only files that have been modified since the last save are saved (there is no point doing the others). Because of that condition the messages on the screen can vary from save to save (whichever method is used). Now the caveat. The above is the only thing that the keyboard shortcut does. The menu Save does a few more things that are worth knowing about. First of all it will make a backup of the existing XML files, which is useful in case the save fails (e.g. because the disk is full, or the network glitches). Secondly, it will check after the save that the files look complete (again, in case of some problem with the save). Thirdly, it will "touch" the project directory so that you can see when you are opening a project when it was last saved. I think those are all the differences between the two saves. Perhaps the shortcut save should do all that as well.

But looking at the code, the two options you mention call different save functions, and the first indeed does not print any message at the end (and possibly it should) but the second does. In general if a save does not work then it should print an error on the screen. > > Wayne > > On Mon, 9 Jul 2012, Markus Heller wrote: > >> >> Hello, >> >> >> >> Below is what the Analysis console prints after I hit `S’ and after I >> click M:Project:Save >> >> >> >> `S’: >> >> >> >> start generating output : ccpnmr.Analysis.AnalysisProject >> >> start generating output : ccp.nmr.Nmr.NmrProject >> >> start generating output : ccp.general.Method.MethodStore >> >> >> >> M:Project:Save: >> >> start generating output : ccpnmr.Analysis.AnalysisProject >> >> start generating output : ccp.nmr.Nmr.NmrProject >> >> start generating output : ccp.general.DataLocation.DataLocationStore >> >> start generating output : ccp.general.Method.MethodStore >> >> successfully saved project >> >> >> >> In other words, the “successfully saved project” part is missing. >> >> >> >> Is this normal, i.e. can I trust that `S’ indeed successfully saves? >> >> >> >> Thanks >> >> Markus >> >> >> >> -- >> >> Markus Heller, Ph.D. >> >> NMR Scientist >> >> CDRD - The Centre for Drug Research and Development >> >> 2259 Lower Mall, Third Floor | Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4 >> >> T: (604) 221-7750 ext. 122 | F: (604) 221-7753 | E: [log in to unmask] | >> www.cdrd.ca >> >> >> >> >> >
