Re: [OBO-Edit Working Group] Quick Save bug?

[Nomi H. <nlh...@lb...>]

Ok, I see this now and I will fix it. The reason I didn't notice this rather obvious bug before is that Quick Save works fine when I launch OE from the command line (which is what I generally do); the bug only appears if you launch by double-clicking the installed app. That means extra hassle during the debugging cycle--instead of just change/compile/launch I will have to do change/compile/make installer/run installer/double-click app.

I hope to have this Quick Save bug and David O-S's relation-selection bug fixed and in a new release later this week.
