Editing source

While in the ISeries Projects perspective you can load source into the
editor from either your local workspace or directly from the ISeries (if
you have the Remote System tab open).  Ideally we ONLY want to edit
source in the workspace to ensure that version control remains intact.
Changes are then "pushed" in order to compile.

It appears that the best feedback for a compile is achieved by taking
the compile option from the Remote System tab after having "pushed" the
changes. If, however, the compile fails and errors are generated the
natural thing to do is to double click the error(s) to load the editor
at the line causing the problem.   This seems to load the source from
the iSeries rather than the workspace causing the following issues:

1) There seems to be no apparent obvious indicator to tell you that you
are editing the iSeries source as opposed to the workspace source.
2) The temptation (if you are not careful) is to make the change there
and then (thereby only changing the iSeries source and not the workspace
source)
3) You lose your changes when you (or someone else) pushes the workspace
version down again.

Clearly I am missing a trick here - there must be a more resilient way
of working. Any light that can be shed on the subject would be
gratefully received.
