Now that I’m using an expected extension, a bit more feedback on the Editor UI.

Having saved a file and then not modified what’s in the editor, opening a new file should not prompt for confirmation as the editor isn’t “dirty” and there can be no data loss (the contents of the editor were just saved).

In my case I’m switching between two little test scripts: one to store docs and one to operate on them, so having to respond to an unnecessary confirmation every time I switch is annoying.

Cheers,

E.

Good to know, it'll be easy to fix that [1]; we should do so anyway [2].

I use “.xqy” for full XQuery scripts and “.xqm” for XQuery modules.

Cheers,

Hi Eliot,

We have aligned the behavior of the DBA editor to the BaseX GUI. Saved files are only executable if they are detected as XQuery file.

But maybe we need to support some more file suffixes (.xq is the default extension). How do you name your files?

Best,

Christian

Using the 27-02-2024 build of v11, if I create a query in the Editor panel and then save it, the Run button is disabled, which is unexpected.

If I then open the file, the Run button remains disabled.

If I cut the contents of the editing panel, select “close” to clear the panel, then paste back into the panel, the Run button is enabled.

I think this behavior is incorrect—as long as there is some content in the editor the Run button should be enabled.

Cheers,

E.
