Re: [ jEdit-users ] jEdit edits not saved when it runs in background

[Slava P. <sl...@je...>]

Hi,

I think what is happening is you already have a jEdit instance running,
so when R invokes jEdit, the newly invoked jEdit sends a request to the
running instance, and exits, so R thinks you've finished editing. What
you need to do is upgrade to jEdit 4.2 and tell R to run jEdit with the
"-wait" command-line switch.
