Description Jesse Glick 2004-07-29 20:11:07 UTC

040729 but for a long time before too. It seems
that the list of recent projects is not saved
between IDE sessions. The menu item is always
disabled when I start the IDE.

There seems to be persistence code in
OpenProjectList and OpenProjectListSettings. Not
working?

Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2004-07-29 20:15:50 UTC

Guessing that because I run Linux, the save method stores
projectDirectory.getPath() (e.g. "home/jglick/prjs/foo") and the load
method calls new File(path) which of course does not work. On Windows
it may work by accident, assuming new File("d:/projects/foo") works
despite the incorrect separator.

Store URLs please.

Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2004-08-02 12:46:24 UTC

Especially bad on Macs where the cwd is '/', since it starts to work
but then fails with a runtime exception. Even worse, OPL.gD does

  INSTANCE.openProjects = loadProjectList();

without any checking for runtime exceptions, so if there is any kind
of persistence problem such as in issue #46812 which causes a runtime
exception, the whole OPL cannot be loaded and the IDE is totally
broken. Needs to be made more robust.
