documents project - some minor functionality issues

[Leopoldus]

Document project feature is very convenient, thanks to the author!

However there are some minor bugs or lacks of functionality connected to this feature.

1. When a project is opened, Atlantis shows in its window title the name of the current project, but not the name of the current document (opened file), which is being edited. Is there any option to see the name of current document instead of the current project name?

2. If the current project is closed with the command File => Document Project => Close, the appropriate .ADPR file with the project documents list is updated every time, although no changes in the documents list has been made. It causes mix-up about the time when the project was actually changed last time. Is there any option to change such behaviour or may be to fix it in the code?

Thanks!

Hi Leopoldus,
1. If I open a Document Project in Atlantis, I get 3 different items, i.e. “Atlantis Word Processor”, then the Project Name, and finally the name of the current document:



2. When you close a Document Project with the dedicated command (“File | Document Project | Close”), all the currently open documents are automatically included in the current Document Project. This also automatically updates the document listing. Now if you want to have more information about a Document Project, you can right-click its name in a file manager, and bring up its “Properties”. This will give you its creation date, last modified date, and last accessed date.
HTH.
Cheers,
Robert

Yes, I see, thank you. But my problem is, that sometimes the project names and/or the document names are quite long (or may be my monitor 1200 x 1600 px is too small), thus the last - and the most important!! - member of this triad does not fit in the visible part of the window title. IMHO according to the importance of these three elements their order should be directly opposite, that is 1) Name of the current document; 2) Name of the current project; 3) (optionally!!) “Atlantis Word Processor” (this last is hardly needed in general).

Is there any option to change the order?

Yes, that is exactly what I said myself. Also I think, that seems there is no any reasonable cause to update the .ADPR file last modification time in this situation, if the documents list of the project has not actually been changed, as it can mislead a user about the time, when the project was really changes last time.

Now if you want to have more information about a Document Project, you can right-click its name in a file manager, and bring up its “Properties”. This will give you its creation date, last modified date, and last accessed date.

Yes, one can see these thee dates (there are also many other ways to see them). But what useful information can one conclude from any of these dates? Creation time? Say, 2 years ago. Last accessed time? It might be the time of the last session, or may be the time when this project was opened or closed last time. Last modified time? It is the time, when I closed this project last time (obviously the same, as Last access time).
What a user may really need to know about the project file .ADPR, is the time, when the project has been changed last time, that it when some documents have been added to or removed from the list of the project. But it is not now possible to get this time due to the fact, that Atlantis (without any reasonable cause) changes the file last modification time every time (see above).
