Re: Previously Open Source Members

I've noticed this, but it isn't a big problem for me, as I found opening members from the list for editing purposes to be very dangerous.  The reason is that you're opening the local copy on your PC, NOT the member on the i server.  This is okay if no one else has changed the member and you don't care that you're not locking it on the i, but in my environment I found it too risky to use for anything but browsing a reference source.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Previously Open Source Members


I have noticed an issue with the previously opened members.  In 8.5,
Clicking on "File" from the menu bar would give you a list of previously
opened members at the bottom of the drop down menu.  I used it quite
often when I would start up RDi the next morning to open source members
I was continuing work on from the previous day.  In 9.0, this no longer
works.  As I open members throughout the day, they are added to this
"previously opened" list on the File menu.  But when I shutdown RDi at
the end of the day, this list is cleared.  So the next time I start RDi,
it is empty on the File menu.  Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
