Expect behavior of the Tweak mode?

Hi everyone,

I am experimenting with the Tweak mode in Processing IDE. What I realize is that when I switch to Tweak mode, Processing creates a new code editor window rather than just switch the mode of the existing window. I had to copy the code from the Java mode to the Tweak mode and save again before the program would work.

Is this the expect behavior?

Thanks, Frank

I don't think that's the expected behavior. It used to happen to me, too; it was very annoying. Then I downloaded the newest version of Processing, and now it lets me change modes with the same sketch. If this doesn't work for you, I think if you switch to tweak mode, let it create the new window, close your original sketch, delete any "sketch.properties" file in your sketch folder, then re-open it, it will open in tweak mode. Though this may be more trouble than just copying and pasting.

Thank you orthoptera for your help. It works like you suggested.
