[Bug 957127] Re: Sikuli IDE Deletes valid image files if the .py is modified by external IDE

 

You could decide, to leave the Sikuli IDE totally aside and use whatever
IDE you want to use (I tried Eclipse, Netbeans and Jedit with success)

With some statements you can make your own capture tool with Sikuli (except preview):
- define your own capture hotkey
- store the images wherever you want
- name the image.png however you want
- type the filename to the current cursor position in your IDE 

In every environment you use, it is up to you to manage your images
somehow - Sikuli gives you some options.

** Summary changed:

- Sikuli IDE Deletes valid image files if the .py is modified by external IDE
+ X-1.0rc3: IDE: Deletes image files on save, if image filenames are modified by external IDE - it's a feature

** Description changed:

+ **** it's a feature
+ 
+ when saving a script, Sikuli IDE deletes all image files from the folder
+ .sikuli, that are not referenced in the script.
+ 
+ ------------------------------------------------------

  I've been using the Sikuli IDE to capture images and set targets &
  eclipse to code the scripts. The problem is if i make a drastic change
  to my code in eclipse, save the .py and reopen the file in the Sikuli
  IDE, intermittently Sikuli will display none of the images and then i
  find it has deleted them from the project directory. it seems like the
  image clean-up code is malfunctioning causing Sikuli to delete unknown
  images, this feature is annoying at present as in some instances it's
  deleted images i simply just wanted to cut and paste.
  
  Issue on 1.0 RC3 (r905), Windows XP
