Saving, loading and pasting

The designer has one file format: a plain .euo script, the one shown in the script pane.

Saving

File → Save writes the script pane’s file: a header that runs the windows (see Using the file in a script), then one sub per form. The file is written as EasyUO Reforged’s editor writes scripts (UTF-8, Windows line endings), so it opens there unchanged. The grid and snap settings are not in it.

Loading and pasting

File → Open reads any .euo or .txt script, whether the designer wrote it or not. File → Paste script (Ctrl+Shift+V) reads the script on the clipboard the same way. Editing the script pane and pressing Apply (Ctrl+Enter) does too.

Open, Paste script and File → New design start a new design: Undo does not go back to the one before. Apply changes the design on show, so Undo takes it back.

• Only menu lines are read. Every other command is ignored: sub, gosub, if, loops, set and the rest.
• In the order they are written, whatever runs around them: a menu line inside a loop is read once, one in a sub that is never called is read all the same.
• As EasyUO 1.6 would run them, by the same MENU code: the default parent after a menu Form or menu Panel, menu PushDef and menu PopDef, menu Clear, menu Delete. The windows that come out are the design, so a script the designer did not write loads too.
• #true, #false, #spc, #smc and #dot are read as their values. Any other variable is only known when the script runs.

The load report

Lines that cannot be part of a design are left out and listed in Messages with their line number. Double-click one to find it: until the next change, the script pane shows the text as it was read.

• a line with a variable (menu Text t 10 10 %name);
• what a running script reads or does: menu Get, GetNum, menu GetProp, GetDef, menu Activate;
• what EasyUO 1.6 removed: menu HideEUO, menu Font Transparent, menu Image PixLine;
• a line EasyUO 1.6 does nothing with (a value missing or out of range), and an unknown sub-command;
• a name used twice: 1.6 shows the second control but nothing can reach it;
• a control that ended up in no window, or inside something that is not a form or a panel;
• menu Delete form0.

When EasyUO Reforged would run the text under the 1.5 MENU system (it has none of the 1.6-only sub-commands and no menu Reforge Mode line), the report says so: the designer reads it as 1.6, and the file it saves starts with menu reforge mode 1.6.

Saving over a script

Saving writes the MENU windows only. When the file you opened held more than that, the designer asks first, and lists what would be lost:

• every line that is not a menu line (other than blank lines, comments and the designer’s own header and subs);
• the menu lines it could not read.

Choose Save anyway to replace the file, Save as to write a new one and keep the original, or Cancel. A file the designer saved itself saves over without asking.
