Save reminder is annoying

[phil-pilgrim]

Is there any way to turn this @#$%^&* thing off?

I'm working on C code that I'm editing and saving elsewhere and copy/pasting into a custom block. I don't need to save my Blockly code at every knee-jerk. Moreover, having the SAVE function default to new names (1), (2), etc. is unnecessarily proliferative (is that a word?), IMO. If I want to rename my file to maintain version control, I'll do it on my own, thanks. I don't need a nanny to do it for me.

Okay, I realize this is done for absent-minded students who could lose an entire classtime's worth of work if they're not kicked in the butt every once in awhile to save it. But it's really cutting into my productivity. Could it at least be dismissed by ignoring it and continuing to click elsewhere in the screen, rather than having it be persistent and requiring specific acknowledgment or dismissal?

The short answer is that it cannot be disabled. However, the Save Project reminder works a little differently here in BlocklyProp than it does on the Solo project. BlocklyProp saves projects to a back end database. Clicking the Save button overwrites the existing project content in the database. There are no project files involved and none to proliferate.

It would be helpful to create a backdoor for non-students, like myself, who just want to create useful blocks, Can this be done?

BTW, I have to use Solo. Original BlocklyProp is going away, and I'm working in Matt's walled garden for the time being.

Thanks.

The short answer is that it cannot be disabled.

Might it possibly be made non-modal like the compile/load message windows? At least, then, a person could continue working without having to interact with it.

I think we could add a "stop reminding me" button without too much trouble. It would be per project and it would not persist beyond a page refresh, as I would prefer to put it in the projectData object.

That would be great. Thanks, Matt!

@zfi can we move this to solo, and address it more broadly with a change to a bootbox instead of the current modal?

@MatzElectronics I like that solution; thank you.
