Well, no, I don't think so. It is possible to "Open a File"
in the normal way, but you can't "Save" it anywhere but
into a project folder. So you are going to HAVE to use
projects if you want to do any work in IDL. And the projects
have to be open for you to save a file there.
This was the biggest hurtle for me, because it interrupts
the normal flow of my work. I work with files in the coyote
directory (where they are under version control), but I want
to save them over in my web page directory where I can move
them to my web page. I couldn't save those files anymore.
I had to save them back into Coyote, and go drag them where
I wanted them. That still feels uncomfortable to me.
Cheers,
David
