Adexl - auto locking Interactive when run finishes

I suspect it could be done by writing a trigger to lock when simulation has completed (using axlSetHistoryLock, probably in the runFinishedConclusion or runFinishedPostPlot trigger (see axlSessionSignalList() and axlSessionConnect()), but I've not tried. It would be a bit of a pain this way to turn on and off (although could use a global flag to do it, I guess). I didn't try writing such a function though - doesn't sound too hard though.

Alternatively you could just increase the "Save N entries" on the Options->Save form in Assembler to stop the histories being deleted automatically.

This code should do it (I thought I'd check that the idea I suggested above worked):

Allow histories to be automatically locked when simulations are
complete. The code example below uses a combination of the
showNameHistoryForm and initiallyAddHistoryNameUniquifier to turn this
behaviour on or off, but the condition could be changed as you wish.
