    Hi Bernard, Thank you for your quick response. I forgot to mention that I’m using Alpha 9.2.3 on Catalina (10.15.7). I’m also running other computers with Mojave (10.14.6) and El Capitan (10.11.6), but nothing later. I have not yet ventured into Big Sur, so I can’t speak to any shortcuts it has hijacked. While I was surprised to find that a recent version of Alpha had taken back Command-Option-D from the Dock, I don’t need you to make any change there. I have already achieved the solution I need...

    Hi Bernard, Thank you very much for explaining this to me. For what it’s worth, I was looking to restore the saved patters from the old machine. I did not dare to hope that the transient recent patterns might be accessible. That is quite nice. As an added bonus, overwriting Alpha’s preferences on the Catalina machine with the preference folder from the El Capitan machine has solved my Embrace problem (Ticket #253). Thank you for suggesting this. Best, John On May 31, 2021, at 11:00 AM, Bernard Desgraupes...

    For what it’s worth, I just did a tiny bit of digging and discovered that another computer running a different operating system and a different version of Alpha is also doing the same thing. This time, it is Alpha 9.0.7 on a 2008 MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan (10.11.6). On a third computer, a 2014 MacBook Pro running Alpha 9.1.1 and macOS Mojave (10.14.6), I get the same results.

    Hi Bernard, It sounds like this is not happening to you. Thank you for confirming this; it gives me hope I can get this resolved. Yes, I am familiar with the Hide Extension checkbox. When I first noticed the problem, I immediately checked to see if that was the problem. However, there is no such checkbox in Alpha’s Save As dialog box. Also, if that were the issue, the extension would still be there, so Alpha would correctly color the text. It does not in this case. I am using Alpha 9.2.2 on a 2019...

    Hi Bernard, Thank you. This seems to have solved the problem.

Not sure what's going on but could you try the following experiment : • edit the file /Applications/Alpha.app/Contents/Resources/Libraries/AlphaTcl/Cache/index/mode • find the line that says prefs::modified DiffmodeVars • insert a #...

    Scratch that. It is now working. I tried it many times before submitting the ticket without success. After I submitted the ticket, it failed one more time and then started working. I can't imagine what I might have changed.

  • John John posted a comment on ticket #226

    Hi Bernard, Thank you for looking into this issue. As you can imagine, it has been a while since I submitted this report, so my life has moved on. However, I do recall the problem and I was able to reproduce it. at least the part about saving prematurely. As it turns out this issue is caused by the Auto Save on Switch preference setting. When the operation runs on for a long time, I tend to go do something else. The save happens the next time the application is idle, not when the switch happens....
