I have, or better said, i had a screensaver file in the Apps script folder.
To my surprise, WB080 treated it like a script and displayed it in the project tree.

But now comes the best part, remember that i said, i had!
After clicking on edit and then looking, why WB could possible think, that this was a script, i learned, that simply closing the editor again, was not the smartest move. Cause now the screensaver really is a script!

btw. Did i mention, that i really love it, if an application, any application overwrites my files without first asking?

This bug is really worth to get the "Oscar" for "Surprize".

If you would not only tell stories here, but give some more information (like attaching the screen saver) it could be possible to find and fix the bug ...
You know that my magic crystal ball is currently out of order ...

Under The "Tools" button you have options to avoid the automatic save.

@psc
try to put any .scr from your host's WINDOWS\system32\ folder into your project folder
click on edit in WB interface
then select 'Interface editor' then select 'Description' then etc.
you will see the content of the screensaver .scr suddenly destroyed
it contains these lines:
[Main]
NoWarning=False
Download_Level=0
Level=5

for me Tools > AutoSave=Ask

[MedEvil]

Didn't post the screensaver, because it works with every file that ends in .scr, no matter the content.
If you click first on the source tab, you can even see it's content, which i find impressive, since most text editors would just stop at the first binary 0.

And AutoSave was of course set to Ask, else it wouldn't have been a cool bug!

[MedEvil]

What was fixed? That screensavers are treated like scripts or that WB saves without asking despite that ask is selected?

well, lets hope both:-))

#1: Bug still form OpenBuilder times:

if (AnsiContainsText('.script.link.inf ', s)) then ...

This declares a valid WB file if the file extention matches ANYTHING of the filter string.
e.g. also an extention .s or .link.in is evaluated as valid.

#2: Now it is ONLY written into the file when [Main] exists AND only the values are written which have been changed.

And in case things did got changed, will there be a dialog, before they are written, if ask is selected?

Kudos to Peter and MedEvil. This is a really ancient bug.

But shouldn't wb also work with .inf and .link files?

How will this be possible now that they don't have a [main] section?

[MedEvil]

The interesting part is however that this problem did not exist with at least the the pre 78 builds.

People like you medevil are here only to scare people away, aren't you?

Maybe you should develop yourself an application, let us see what bugs you will bring us on our PCs.

Sometimes some people here think they are god and can do everything, a miracle why the admins and mods don't react on such guys. If you done sometimes something good this doesn't means that you can be an a... the rest of the time.
