thanks:) I'll take a look at those

  • Blockly will never convert to ezscript, that's not a design. It only supports javascript

  • typo fixed (auto subscription update)

I'm unable to produce "javascript doesn't save". See this attached video if your results differ?

Thanks I will try and do a video of non save problem. Maybe just a cell phone video.

I thought back in the day before you had JavaScript and only blocky and ex-script it did a blocky to easyscript conversion.

yeah - before javascript the Blockly converted to ez-script. However, due to the maturity and performance of JavaScript over ez-script, the change over happened a year or so ago. EZ-Script is only maintained for historical purposes. No future development is being done in EZ-Script, as it's just far too slow and non-standard. It only exists in ARC and therefore doesn't have cross-knowledge elements

Let me know what your results of the Blockly -> javascript are so i can see what to do about it:)

ok maybe my bad javascript as if I create a script with something like print " "; it will save but here was my first line and if you paste this in it will not save  var servo_reverse = (Servo.GetPosition(d2));

but if I put print " ";    as first line then that line it saves.  Now I go back and delete the print statement all is good.  Strange

Oh i see. you're right clicking and selecting PASTE, correct?

The editor detects that you're writing code in the editor with the keyboard. I'll fix that for you. In the meantime, use CTRL-V to paste until the fix is published

Okay - it's fixed for next update. And that means if you updated last night's build - you get to use the auto update feature:)
