open last edited file on start

[pq]

maybe derived from system.lua?

EDIT: current plan is to open last edited file, potentially gated by routable URLs (#70)

why not last script edited?

[pq]

right. i guess i'd expect that, unless there's a script running on the device, in which case i suppose i'd want that.

honestly, either is fine. some state awareness would be nice.

@ngwese, @jlmitch5, @tehn : curious if you have any thoughts?

[jlmitch5]

I think I would probably lean towards last script edited. For example, if you refresh Maiden, you'd probably expect it to be at the same place.

I also think this would probably best be solved with setting up routing. In other words, editing script foo.lua would lead to the url: http://localhost:3001/#/scripts/foo.lua or something like that.

[ngwese]

i think "last script edited" fits the increasingly common model of an editor coming back up in the last state it was left in. in that regard the maiden code base is well situated to achieve this given that all the state is neatly captured in the redux store.

...i had been imagining some logic write the complete state back to norns periodically and/or at certain strategic user interaction points.

@jlmitch5 there is another ticket from @artfwo about having routable URLs #70

[pq]

nice. agreed on all points above. title changed to reflect new direction. 👍

I have a potential fix for this - #167
