"If you have a project already loaded and a number of text editors are open and then you do a load project the text editors for the first project stay opened."
I'm thinking that if you have a project already opened then open another project, the save dialogue should popup to ask if you want to save the changes for the first opened project (this save should be for any unsaved text editors as well as the project settings file) and then close all open text editors and then load the next selected project.

I just tested this too. Maybe the files you have opened were not part of the first project?
I finally got a chance to give the linux version a spin.
One thing i noticed straight away is that the all the properties options were blank, but when you clicked on browse they defaulted to the right file. It seems like SIDE knows where the compiler and loader folder are, but just dont put the path in. Not a big problem though. I have also found that to load the prop you have to turn it off then back on and load straight away. I dont know if this is a SIDE thing or a linux driver thing though. Again not a big problem.
I also still have the problem of having to burn the image to eeprom. I think this must just be my setup though. No one else seems to have the problem. I tried with a different prop chip with the same results. I have another board there so i will have to hunt around and find the power supply for it. Even if i dont have to burn it on this other board i will still use my PPDB because of ease of use anyway

The program can only guess based on our current practice where things are for Mac and Linux (the Windows installer automates this). I've added code to put the guesses in the properties boxes at first start-up.

I doubt that this is a Propeller chip problem. There must be a linux configuration issue somewhere. What linux are you using? Can you describe your hardware?
I am using the latest and up to date ubuntu. Running on an i7 machine with 6GB of ram. The motherboard is an Asus unit from memory. I would have to open it up to check though. Just standard gear really.
It seems to be happening with BST as well which i dont remember it doing. But then i dont remember using this machine before. I will test out SIDE on my laptop and let you know how i go.
Was the Mac OS X version of propside built from the same sources? Will we see Mac OS X-buildable sources, soon? Would definitely like to "try out" the Mac version. Would it be possible to just put up a Mac binary as was done for linux?
You could test building what I have now. To enable source browsing you'll have to make ctags-5.8 and copy the program to /opt/parallax/bin.
TAKE NOTE however that I'm overhauling some pieces that will require clean all/build all because of a problem found yesterday on a Mac.
Also a feature that could be enabled with DEFINE+= in propside.pro is not for public consumption because it is neither "ready" nor "simple".
BTW, I could use some help making a .dmg package if you know how to do that. I'll have to study it.

I did build ctags-5.8... I see now that I need QT. I'll install that and build.
You can create a .dmg in DiskUtility. Just fill a folder with the files that you want. There is a menu option in DiskUtility to create an image from a folder or you can just drag the folder into DiskUtility & it should ask if you want to build an image.
Please set memory mode to LMM for now. I've noticed COG mode has been failing - not sure why.
I have more work to do before my overhaul is done ... right now, I'm exhausted.

Just a few minor suggestions;
Close & Save Project Menu, just Close Project and then popup a save Yes/No dialogue to give option to save changes.
When closing a project close all the open text editors related to that project.
Regards
That's the way it works for me now. Do you have an example where it doesn't work? Maybe a set of "repeat by" steps?
Thanks for your testing and suggestions.

My bad, what I should have written is as follows.
"If you have a project already loaded and a number of text editors are open and then you do a load project the text editors for the first project stay opened."

Here's my test case:

I know, I'm totally non-patient

Built... Looks good!
Builds all the demo projects except hello

Thanks Steve!
This is a lot of great work!

The qt project file has been updated and project should be reloaded.
About SimpleIDE should show 0.6.1 after clean all + build all and run.
BTW... I made mention of SimpleIDE and the PropGCC project in my N&V column that will appear in May.
There are some features to straighten out before posting new packages.
Thanks,
