Making Jd Avoid Objects

I was wondering if anyone has tried to make JD avoid objects. The task seems a bit more cumbersome using a humanoid robot because it would not be so easy to mount the distance sensor.

Feature Request: Opening Another Project, Does Not Ask To Save

What a frustration! I just lost 3 huge scripts, because i just pressed open project to grab some scripts from another project. I expected the ARC to ask if i wanted to save the current project, similar behavior when you try to exit the ARC without saving. i need a break !
