Editor tabs Bug

[Sawer]

Hello Everyone, now I cannot open my projects smoothly because these tabs keep on multiplying, and when I try to delete them one by one, Hise crashes, then the same problem again starts in the beginning.

Is there any solution? Thanks.

@Sawer Hmmm... My guess is that your project contains too many scripts...

@Sawer Maybe try to delete the editorData.json in the Hise app data folder after closing Hise to reset the workspace
There might be other json that can affect the behaviour, not sure which ones...

You must be using an old version of HISE. Time to update.

@ustk Unfortunately, I only have 4 scripts. I solved it and here is what happened:
In any of the projects in Hise, I usually have 2 max 3 tabs open, and when I open the workspace, it always doubles the number (Hydra tabs). So usually then I delete the unnecessary ones and move on.
But since I'm only been working on the sampler workspace for a while now, every time I opened the project it kept multiplying the tabs by a factor of 2 without realizing it. So today Hise was really slow when opening, and I realized to have all those tabs opened. I deleted them one by one.
Is there a way to not have this problem?
And It is not the version problem.
I need to confirm but I have one of the most recent versions of Hise.

@Sawer a few weeks old version should be good enough
I never had this hydra tab issue, I only have one tab opening each time. Although I’d like to have opened script of a project to be memorised because opening them is a bit annoying when you work with a lot of external scripts…

Have you tried what I suggested ?

Alternatively, try to simply delete everything in the appdata and restart a blank Hise config

Since the hydra tabs drama all tabs are removed when you close HISE. It's not a great solution, but it gets rid of the extra tabs. So you must be using an older version, or something has gone wrong with your install.

bit annoying when you work with a lot of external scripts…

In my fork I always keep the last 5 tabs. It's an easy modification, I posted it in the hydra tabs thread.

Got to have a look at this! Is it keeping the scripts or just empty tabs? I'm more interested in the former...

[d.healey]

@ustk It keeps the scripts. The only problem is when you change project it will have the scripts from the last project, which is confusing.

Here's the commit. Looks like I keep the last 8 tabs.

@d-healey Thanks I'll try this.
So I imagine you get a (detached) warning for all non existent scripts in the currently opened project?

[d.healey]

@ustk Maybe... I can't say I've noticed.
