Hi all,
First day using learning Touch Designer and am seeing very frustrating behavior using an external text editor to edit expressions.
Say I’m editing the seed of noise and type 1*2, then hit ctrl+e to open an external editor. Notepad++ pops up, but the expression has been evaluated so the text just reads 2. I then close the editor and the expression has been evaluated in Touch Designer as well!
Additionally, when I perform the same task again after closing the editor, I get an error reading “You may already be editing C:/…(long filepath)…/noise1_parm_seed_td_8624_44.py. Kill file and restart?” The editor is closed and reopened, but the expression is again evaluated.
What is going on here? This happens on any parameter I try it on.
Thanks!
