Sometimes Hise is not saving properly the project archive or xml

[hisefilo]

@d-healey I have A LOT of .xml on that project. Some times it stop opening them. Solution I've found is to move xmls and UIData to an "old" folders to clean XmlPresetBackups folder.

I have A LOT of .xml on that project.

1 xml per project
git for managing different versions
.hip for little test patches.

@d-healey got it! I'm completely aware of my bad practices

[hisefilo]

@d-healey I guess I won a beer! Figured out the glitch.

External .js wont save if you are editing it in a "NEW TAB" even if you save the xml

To reproduce:

1 Create an external .js
2 Include it
3 Create a new view and select the .js
4 Edit it.
5 Save the xml
6 Close HISE

....and you 5 hs of coding will be gone

@hisefilo You missed step 4.5 hit compile. I work with 8 editor tabs open all the time so I don't think that can be the cause.

[hisefilo]

@d-healey yes you are right. Then maybe my previous glitch was just that!

@d-healey ok this is super strange.

The save function in Hise no longer saves any of my included .js files. But the compile button does.

[d.healey]

@whoopsydoodle It's always been that way.

@d-healey nfw. I've been using it for months and never realized that?? brain explode.

@whoopsydoodle I think most of the time we don't notice because we tend to automatically hit f5 after writing some code before we save.
