When saving a single process icon in v1.6.0, I often see the Processing Console tell me that there were "2 process icon(s) saved".

This happens if I have clicked on a Process Icon on a secondary Workspace, then move to my 'primary' Workspace where I then 'select' an icon for saving. Even if I first click the 'background' of the Workspace, to 'deselect' all icons, and then select the icon I wish to save - PI 'remembers' the fact that I have still selected an icon on some 'other' Workspace.

Basically, you CANNOT 'deselect' Process Icons on other Workspaces by 'background clicking' on your current Workspace - which, whilst it may not be a 'bug' as such, is certainly a 'feature' that has cost me a whole evening's work.

At least I am now more 'aware' of the problem - simply because I have an auxilliary monitor dedicated to the Processing Console alone - which can remain permanently 'displayed' (quite useful for actually 'seeing' what PI is doing 'behind the scenes', so to speak ::))

Can anyone confirm this problem?

And, does anyone else have an opinion, to help Juan decide how to 'improve' the UI?

Niall,

Engrave another mark on your bug buster weapon's butt. I can confirm this problem and of course it will be fixed in 1.6.1. "Save selected process icons" will only save selected icons on the current workspace.

Thanks for catching it.
