• ANSI Editor Feedback

    From Avon@21:1/101 to g00r00 on Saturday, January 13, 2018 21:19:03
    I'm really enjoying using this :)
    Beats using TheDraw (yep I'm old school)
    Using it to edit some screens as I am moving the BBS domain name to bbs.nz

    Noticed that you can take the extension off the file name you're trying to save, state the file type and save it. Mystic saves is as you request (in my case as an ASCII file type) but it also saves it without the file extension.
    Is that by design or should a filename without extension that is set to a
    file type of ANSI or ASCII have its extension added? I tend to think it
    should unless the user has added an extension of their choosing. Just a thought.

    Also nice to have, a UI thing, when you have opened a file and you then press ESC and O to open a file, Mystic jumps back to the start of the alphabetical file list. I means if you are working on a file that starts with P it can be
    a bit of a scroll, yep I know I can type the file name and it jumps to it
    (very nice by the way :)) but is there any way / future switch that could
    allow for the file window to load to the last 'open' view? If not, no biggie but thought I'd suggest it.

    I'll keep playing with it..

    Best, Paul

    This is intentional. If I made it always add the extension then you wouldn't be able to save a file without .ASC or .ANS. Maybe I could have it ask you
    if you don't include an extension?

    I'll put it on the list to look into!
