Unable to save the changes made in Display Resource Editor into a file due to the "drmSuppressSaveDialogBox" variable

Aloy

I'm trying to make some minor changes to my default display resource data and save it into a .drf file using File -> Save in Display Resource Editor. However, I'm getting the following message in CIW:

"Display Information is modified in the current session. However Save Display Information Dialog Box has been suppressed as environment variable "drmSuppressSaveDialogBox" is set. The modified Display Information will not be saved."

I tried "envSetVal("layout" "drmSuppressSaveDialogBox" 'boolean nil)", but that doesn't seem to be doing anything since the default value is already nil. Any idea what I'm missing?

I'm using version ICADVM18.1.

Thanks, Fari

    Which exact sub-version of ICADVM18.1 are you using? As far as I can see, that message only appears when drLoadDrf() is used to load a display.drf when there is an unsaved modified display.drf. I can't see how it would appear when you save the display.drf because the message is only in the source code for the drLoadDrf functionality...

    It also only shows up when drmSuppressSaveDialogBox is set to t.

    I'm wondering whether you have some SKILL code (or maybe the libInit.il for a library you've not accessed yet in that session) which is calling drLoadDrf when you do the operation. Perhaps you could do:

    trace(drLoadDrf)

    to see if that's happening?

    Andrew.
