Re: [orion-dev] Client - pending changes are lost when switching files and auto-save is enabled
I attached the image of the current design (orion.jpg).

The strategy we took in our project is not touching the Orion code itself, but always extending it from the outside.
This is crucial for upgrading Orion with the least amount of pain.

I can list some of the main issues we encountered from the top of my head:
1. Hard coded CSS styles in the code. The latest release improved that but there are still some remains which makes it harder to customize.
2. The entire application is not a SPA - switching between the code editor and settings for example causes a full page reload. We had to work around that.
3. Some JS objects (like the left navigator tree) seem customizable by accepting an options object, but there's no way from "outside" to change these options, they are all hard-coded.

This made us create a small overrides system - we basically use requirejs mapping and override Orion modules with our own, and patching/replacing existing object functions.

Our team would love to better collaborate with you, unfortunately we are very busy with our release.
After everything calms down we will try to cooperate more by providing feedback and submitting code.

Thanks!

Thanks Tomer.

It'd be great to see your design somehow, if you had a site for instance, or design doc that we could look at.

I'm sorry to hear that it hasn't been easy to customise - we're conscious of some aspects that are making that hard, and want to improve.

Your feedback would be invaluable for improving too, either in some notes, or by phone/skype. We have an open meeting once a week that you're welcome to dial into.

If you have time, please let us know what has been difficult, and how you think things could be improved.

Anton

I will try to submit changes to Gerrit, thanks!

Anton, to answer our question, we are currently developing a product that involves an online IDE and we chose Orion.
We customize and extend the client heavily (unfortunately it's not that easy).
The server we wrote from scratch since it needs to work with our own backend.
I don't know if it's allowed to send images, but if so let me know and I can show our design.
