Ian's Dolphin Smalltalk Pages
: IDE SmalltalkWorkspace Extension

Overview

This package adds an automatic save facility to the SmalltalkWorkspaceDocument class. Whenever an expression in the workspace is evaluated (using "Show It", "Evaluate It" or "Inspect It") a copy of the workspace text is written to a file named "Workspace Auto Save.st" located in the image folder.

Every time an expression is evaluated the previous contents of the file are overwritten.

Only workspaces in the SmalltalkWorkspaceDocument class are saved i.e. the ones opened when "Workspace" is selected from the main browser menus. Evaluations in other workspaces, the code editing workspace in a class browser for example, are not automatically saved.
