Re: Saving Issues in RDp 8.0

Kurt,

I think this is why I always change the installation default for
properties > Remote Systems > "Use Cached information to restore the
Remote Systems view" to UNCHECKED...

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Saving Issues in RDp 8.0

I've brought this up numerous times, though no one ever chimes in. Am I
really the only one who ever runs into issues with saving from RDp?

I save constantly (hitting alt-f-s is a habit and I do it after almost
every change). Well, the last 15 minutes I've been working on a report
program. I go to PDM to compile it (b/c I still do that) and run the
program - and it's as if no changes were made. Indeed, I look at the
source in PDM and it doesn't have the changes I've made. (Both sources
are in the same library in the same source file.)

To make it scarier, I was able to open the source in PDM in edit mode.
(How clueless I'd be if I didn't have a seat of PDM to work with....)

In RDp, I opened the source via a filter.

Some other notes:
I copied the source (so I wouldn't lose my changes), and exited out of
the member. I then opened it again in RDp through the filter and it
opened the file with my changes. I also opened it via the Open Member
dialogue and it opens with my changes. (Opened via RSE browsing through
the library to the program source, and again it opens with my cached
changes w/o locking the member on the i.)

I also tried closing RDp and re-opening it.

At this point I'm trying to figure out how to get my changes onto the i.
