Can you Save inside a transform

Post by larryoceanview »

Do you have to close a transform to get back to the designer to do a immediate save of the transform you just modified.

If so why?

Because you could cancel out of your changes to the transformer. Once you save the job, you would lose the cancel option.

You can hit escape to cancel out of your changes before the save.

So why not enable it or at least ctrl -s.

I lose work this way if there are network issues and I get dropped.

Additionaly, I lose time by having to go out of the transform to do a save
and then come back in.

Rainy season is going to start soon, thats when I really have to save often.


Thanks,
