My proposal was so that newbies don't need to learn the hard way they have to save their work on Pier... mainly because saving is important for them but it is not obvious (can be done from http:// localhost:8080/seaside/tools/versionuploader or from the Squeak world menu... but, in this case, only with 'save', since the image seaside. 1.image produced by 'save as a new version' will be ignored by the One-Click setup). It is great. I plan to use to my web designers to experiment and learn. I beg to disagree. As PRImagePersistency is currently implemented, the only risk I can see is that it eventually fill up the disk, which is actually a very minor trouble. Moreover, with my my proposed change for newbies, PRPersistency would would save always with the same filename (seaside.image instead of 2007-11-12 11-05-38.image or whatever), so no fill up of the disk would happen. If the newbee messes up and needs to start from a blank slate, he would do fine decompressing the distribution zip again. Instead, with the current setup, he would be always starting from a blank slate, want it or not, until he discovers he can save his work. My fear is that most newbies won't discover http://localhost:8080/ seaside/tools/versionuploader before they give up. At start up, One-Click Experience currently ignores any image not named 'seaside.image' at start-up. If you detect that the image is named 'seaside.image', you know that you are running under a One- Click setup, so you can act in a more newbee friendly way as suggested above. Cheers --manuel
