save automatically creates project file

[lanselin]

after making some changes to a table (e.g., editing a variable name) and using Save (either the toolbar button or the File > Save command), a project file is automatically created, even when none exists. is that the desired behavior? I would suggest not creating a project file when none currently exists, and only creating it when there already is one. This is "save" of a "current" state, so why create new files.

forgot to specify using 1.7.101

did you have weights specified?

no weights, only operation was to convert a csv file (non-spatial) to a dbf file and edit
the variable names that were too long for dbf.

I agree, I think it makes sense to automatically save the project file when
time groups are specified (and possibly weights) so those specifications
aren't inadvertently lost but not otherwise.

Please verify in 1.7.103

[jkoschinsky]

1.7.103

Right now when you specify time or weights and save/close, the project file isn't added, so you would lose the time groupings and loaded weights. For those two cases (having time groupings or weights), can we automatically add a project file so these specs aren't lost?

[lanselin]

i have also had some instances where the weights information was not saved into the project
file when closing the project, but i cannot replicate right now.

Verified in GeoDa 1.7.103 (OSX Yosemite, 10.10.5

Confirmed that .gda file is now saved with either weights or time grouped variables.
