TMS320F28388D: Setting to Autosave Files

Hi Ed,

This should be enabled automatically. If you try to 'Debug' with an unsaved file, you will get the option to save your file.

Best Regards,

Hi Ben,

It happened again.  It seems to be intermittent.  I left two files open.  When I clicked the Build button, it closed the last one I edited, but not the first.  BTW, I am using CCS 12.5.0.00007.  What is different from before, is that if the first file was really not saved, the compiler would have generated an error.  That is how I discovered this.  But there was no error which proves that the file really was saved.

So in this case, I think that CCS simply didn't update the "unsaved" file's tab.  A manual save fixed the tab, but caused another build.  So the manual save was also a real save.

Thanks,

Ed

Hi Ed,

Are all of the files you are editing in your workspace folder? If you edit, e.g one of the C2000Ware library files that is included in a project as a linked folder which isn't a subdirectory of the workspace, it is not automatically saved.

Hi Allan,

By workspace folder, I assume that you mean a folder under the workspace folder?  Neither of the files falls under that category.  One file is in the main project's folder.  The other is in one of the folders listed in the Include Options of the C2000 Compiler.  Does that help?

Thank you,

Ed

Ed,

Can you share a screenshot of your file system? 

Thanks,

Hi Luke,

Our file system is too large and complex to fit onto a single screen, and would expose our IP.  I can tell you that none of it is under our workspaces which are in a different and unrelated location.  Is there something in particular you are seeking?

Thank you,

Ed

Ed, 

What is your workspace setting for this option set to?

Thanks

Hi Ki,

That check box is checked in my project.  With the exception of the projects listed, everything in that screen is the same as the screen shot above.

Ed

Sounds good. Keep us posted.

It's been a day, and so far no issues.  Of course my habit of manually saving files has prevented me from giving CCS many opportunities to close multiple files.  But I suspect that cleaning out my workspace was what was needed.
