Help! Scratch doesn't save edits!
When I'm in fill-off, I've made some changes and clicked on save&quit, Scratch stops working and looks like this:
I use Ubuntu x64, and this is the first time I edit Scratch, so I don't know when this started.
Please help!

Re: Help! Scratch doesn't save edits!
Try forcing it to close (Alt + F4), then opening and reediting it.

How big are the edits you're trying to make?

Re: Help! Scratch doesn't save edits!
To make it clear, I tried:
save image for end-user (with both fill-on and fill-off)
save (in the dill-off menu)
save&quit (in the fill-off menu)
They all produce the same problem as above.
I tried saving as, but it said there isn't a scratch.changes file and didn't let me.
It's not about editing, it's about saving - it produce it even if I edit nothing and just save.

Did you try using the close scratch block from the block lib, the one that has the code Smalltalk Quit: true andSaveImage: true. That might work...
If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time

Oh, you cant edit scratch either? You can always just edit it then save image using it if you can edit. Do you have the code block?

Don't save that block, just edit it.

It HAS to be saved for it to work.

Re: Help! Scratch doesn't save edits!
Same thing happens to me. I also use Ubuntu. When I try to save the image, the same thing happens, unless I'm using the Source Code. .-.

Re: Help! Scratch doesn't save edits!
By the way, when that happens, I just use Force Quit. In my version, to get force quit, you just right click on the top panel, select Add to Panel, and choose Force Quit. Then, when you need to force quit something, you just click on the force quit icon from the top panel, and click on the program which you want to close.

Re: Help! Scratch doesn't save edits!
Hmmm... it's more likely a x64 related issue. The current release package is 32 bit, but works (mostly?) when you force the install on a 64 bit system.
I've been doing some work on a new 32 package that uses the Squeak from the Ubuntu repositories. But unfortunately the 64 bit version of the Squeak VM has got some problems....

Re: Help! Scratch doesn't save edits!
Found the answer! just open terminal and run
Code:
sudo scratch
Then you can edit it and successfully save , so it seems like normal permission thing.
EDIT: probably the fact Mcsugarface was able to edit source code is because he saved it in the Desktop or something like that
and my 70th post
