v14 Beta: Dialogs losing file references

[Paolo F Cantoni]

A number of file-related dialogs are losing their memory.  In v13.5 and before the dialogs remembered their last values so one would just "Hit Return".  The Save as Profile... Dialog is particularly bad!   I've already overwritten the wrong file once!  Not to mention the added keystrokes to set up the file reference each time!   "Not happy- Jan"!

Anyone else seeing this?

In 13.5 on the Save as Profile dialog, just hitting return was extremely prone to overwriting the wrong file because it would put up the same file name as the previous time, even when you were saving a different profile. The dialog now remembers its settings per diagram and per package. Save one diagram, then save a different diagram and you won't overwrite the first. The dialog also remembers things like whether the Color and Appearance checkbox needs to be ticked.

I've already overwritten the wrong file once!

Then you presumably have two diagrams both writing to the same file.

Not to mention the added keystrokes to set up the file reference each time!

It's not each time, it's first time only.

You can of course write a build script. See the commands Repository.SavePackageAsUMLProfile, Repository.SaveDiagramAsUMLProfile, and Repository.GenerateMDGTechnology

No, I ended up pointing to the wrong file (user problem).  However, once I set the file up for the diagram, the next time I open the dialog it's empty of the file reference.  That's the bug!   So I have to set it up each time at present.

Having exited and reentered EA, it seems to have remembered the value.  Is it the old "nothing is true till you save the diagram" problem?

Yes

Yes

Apparently it isn't!  It went away again!    I had to exit and reenter EA to get the file dialog to render the correct values.

Compacting the EAP file was real easy in v13 and before.  The repository remembered the name of its source file and the default Compact dialog would point to the current file.  Now EVERY TIME I have to set it up (and run the risk of pointing to the wrong file).  Can this be returned to its previous functionality?  The new one doesn't make much sense (set to the last folder used by  the last file - most likely NOT this one!)
