Let users read and update scripts in the Foldit GUI while other scripts are running.
I often have one script running and want to edit code while this script is running.
It would be nice to at least be able to read the code that is running while it is running.
Right now, to be able to edit scripts while a script is running,
I have to download my scripts out of Foldit before I start running a script.
Sometimes while a script is running, I just want to check the wording of different commands
to see if I really told the computer exactly what I wanted it to do.
Matlab lets people edit code while the same code is running,
but when you go to save the code using the same file name,
it forces the code to quit running before it saves.
timo perhaps you would explain how you do this, as it is certainly not obvious to new users - and possibly veteran users who have in the past experienced severe crash problems when doing simple mods to scripts.
This info can be added to the Cookbook section of the wiki as well. So people don't have to keep asking. :)
I allways work in the selection interface, so I don't know if it is possible in the other one.
There you can edit, add, save, upload recipes the same way as you do without scripts running.
Even the script you are running you can change. (That change is not active in the run of course).
And no problem if you have started a script from the editor, that makes no difference.
Are you using the "Selection Interface" ? I have been using the "Original Interface".
Is there a way to do it in the "Original Interface" as well?
Well, if the solution wasn't clear to me, odds are it isn't clear to other new users,
so my posting the question may help someone else in the future.
Thanks Timo!

Yes it is in selection interface.
This feature can be very bad for new users that use only standard interface - they can be mislead what recipe they are using.
Closing - it is implemented already and down-voted.

This is allready possible. I edit, update and upload during scripts without any problem.
