Re: How to properly save file in GUI

[Daniel J Sebald]

On this matter of saving a file in the GUI/IDE editor in order to not 
miss outside activity while saving, I'm hesitating a change for the 
moment to think a bit more about how to properly save a file.

I'm beginning to wonder if we might need to pay a little more attention 
to this because of the oft-used technique of Cntrl-R running a script 
file.  "run", i.e., save and then have command line execute the file 
script is a quick succession of saving then accessing the file.  My 
question is whether we need to pay attention to buffered/unbuffered 
data.  Could buffered data cause issues on some systems?

I've also seen some things in the online documentation about Qt 
processes and threads.  Eventually someone will have to dive into a 
better understanding of the nuances and how to best set up Octave/GUI 
(e.g., thread within the GUI vs. subprocess for GUI).
