LPEX corrupting files upon launch of External Tools -- WDSCI-L

I am running WDSC Version: 6.0.1 Build id: 20050725_1800 on a 2.8 MHzprocessor with 2gig of memory. It generally runs Ok. [Upgrading from 1gigof memory to 2 last year really helped with speed of loading]

I use LPEX for much of my editing, but when I really need power, I haveKedit (www.kedit.com) setup as an External Tool. (It's like having aPorsche when you've been riding a bicycle.)

However, since I upgraded WDSC to 6.0.1 from 6.0.0.1, occasionally LPEX willtotally trash* a file which is on "open" (not changed, but on a tab of oneof the files I am perusing at the time) when I launch this external editor.


Has anyone else experienced similar issues?

Any hints on how to prevent this?

Setup for Kedit as an External Tool.
Location:C:\Keditw\keditw32.exe
Working Directory: ${project_loc:}
Arguments: ${resource_loc}

I'm taking the approach "just don't do that" as I've found little to noinformation at all on how external tools are launched, or in environmentaldifferences between Eclipse and WDSC. I may just do some more work to setKedit up as a thin version of WDSC and then forgo WDSC altogether.

*trash

1) Once LPEX/WDSC copied all of a DDS I had as the foremost tab when Ilaunched Kedit, into an RPG program which was the file-tab I had viewed justbefore this DDS. I erased the DDS lines from the RPG program (using LPEX)and went my merry way.

2) Twice it has simply replaced a file under one tab with a file fromanother tab. I wasn't so merry about this.

These corrupt files are immediately saved and uploaded to my i, I have notbeen able to limit the damage to local copies.

After editing, upon return to WDSC, it notices the file is changed, asks me"Do I want to reload" and I say yes. I then have to make a small mod inLPEX so that the i-portion of WDSC recognizes that the file has changed andthat it needs to be sent to my system i, and off I go.

I have used Eclipse for years with this external tool setup, and WDSC'sbehavior in noticing the file was changed by the external tool is identicalto Eclipse's. Eclipse has never trashed a file like this though.
