Continuing with our previous example, we’ll get ourselves into this situation artificially.
•
Quit the JazzEditor. Oops, we didn’t save our work!
•
Launch the JazzEditor again.
•
Click the Connect button. After choosing the desired Lemur (notice that its project
name is shown) and connecting, the JazzEditor will immediately contain the project
stored on the Lemur.
Now we’ll create another interface we don’t want to keep.
•
Click the New button. You are disconnected from the Lemur.
•
Create a new Interface with an object in it.
•
Click the New button. The interface you just created is blown away.
•
Click the Connect button. After choosing the desired Lemur and connecting, the
contents of the Lemur have returned to the JazzEditor.
In short, the technique for downloading what’s on your Lemur is to click New before
connecting. This causes the JazzEditor to believe (correctly) that the contents of the
Lemur are more valuable than nothing. Not hard a decision to make.
Summary
The two main principles about Projects you should keep in mind:
•
You can edit Projects either while connected to the Lemur or while disconnected.
•
If you make changes while disconnected—in other words, if you have new stuff you’ve
made in the JazzEditor—you can only connect to the Lemur if you overwrite the
Lemur’s current contents with that content. However, if the JazzEditor is blank, when
you connect, you’ll get what’s currently on your Lemur (if anything).
