How do I disable the prompt when I save with ctrl+s on Entreprise Guide?

afiqcjohari — Mon, 20 Feb 2017 10:29:09 GMT

So whenever I click ctrl+s, I keep getting this prompt. It has become a habit of me to save from time to time, so it feels weird to have the prompt each time I do this.

Thanks!

Hi,

You can go to Tools> Options> Data General

and uncheck(turn off) the option ‘Always prompt when closing a project with temporary data references'. It may occur that data is not saved when the EG is accidently closed. Please make sure that you save the changes frequently which you already do.

Prior to EG 7.12, the Ctrl+S keyboard shortcut saved the EG project (which you can see on File menu), but did not automatically save changes in externally referenced files. EG would then prompt you (as in your screenshot) to save any unsaved changes in any open external programs. We agree, this was not intuitive behavior. You expect Ctrl+S to immediately save what you are working on, no questions asked.

Starting in EG 7.12, we improved this behavior. Ctrl+S is now a more intuitive, contextual save. So, if you are working with an external program and press Ctrl+S, it saves the program file, without prompting (as you would expect). If you are working with an embedded program, Ctrl+S saves the project (since embedded programs are saved within the EG project). In addiion, we added a Save All operation, which saves the project and any open files.

So, to get rid of the prompt, I suggest upgrading EG to the latest version (7.13).

This doesn't solve the problem though.

Is there any way to disable the prompt for EG 5.1?
It can take sometimes to ask for the company to upgrade the system.

You can avoid the prompt in versions prior to 7.12 by using Ctrl+Shift+S (saves the program you are working on) rather than Ctrl+S (saves the project).

Works perfectly. Thank you.
