Why does close-all not save buffer positions?

[jbhurst]

Hi,

How come close-all (via _close_all2()) calls close_buffer() and close_window() with saveBufferPos false?

I use close-all quite often, but would prefer it to remember the buffer positions. I'd like to know if there's a good reason for it not to.

We could not come up with one so far, so I checked in a change for 13.0.1.

Cool, thanks Dan.

I'm using a modified wkspace.e in the meantime. I wrote this command:

Code: [Select]

_command void jh_close_all_but_current() name_info(',') {
  _str current_buffer = p_buf_name;
  close_all();
  edit(current_buffer, EDIT_RESTOREPOS);
}

It doesn't work very well if close-all doesn't remember the cursor position in the current buffer! (I bet there's a cleaner way to do this, but I bet it would take more code too.)
