I find the file handling in the IDE very confusing. In the settings there's a flag to "save code to Chrome's cloud storage" but I see no way to restore/load from there. Does it just save the contents of the edit buffer and auto-restore? When I use a different laptop I seem to get a different buffer?
I don't really understand the difference between the "open file" icon and the "projects" icon. Are they really the same, except that the second one tries to present the canned folder structure? In that projects dialog I cannot make out what the icons are or what they mean, BTW.
What I really find confusing is the "save" icon. Why does it not remember the filename I loaded from? The filename also isn't displayed. So I always have to remember to save to the correct file, accept the "do you really want to overwrite?" warning, etc. Very confusing, at least to me.
I guess this last point is the one that really bothers me the most: that the IDE doesn't remember the source of the editor window and present conventional "save" and "save as..." options.
