This could be done using non-intrusive (i.e. not keyboard focus attracting) popups.\r\n\r\nIssue #609 mentions that the temp location Frescobaldi chooses for compiling unnamed, modified, and (in the future) non-local LilyPond documents might be confusing. Frescobaldi could say (in the log maybe) \"Compiling in a temporary location \"/tmp/blabla\" (the document has no file name)\".\r\n\r\nThere are probably more examples.\r\n\r\nThese popups could also be used to notify the user some things that happened (compile finished, document saved, or document modified on disk, or \"There is a new version of LilyPond available\" etc.).\r\n\r\nIt should also be possible to view the (persistent) history of such messages (a sort of app-wide logbook)."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/wbsoft/frescobaldi/issues/comments/78351343","html_url":"https://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi/issues/614#issuecomment-78351343","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/wbsoft/frescobaldi/issues/614","id":78351343,"user":{"login":"PaulMorris","id":1091693,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1091693?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/PaulMorris","html_url":"https://github.com/PaulMorris","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/PaulMorris/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/PaulMorris/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/PaulMorris/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/PaulMorris/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/PaulMorris/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/PaulMorris/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/PaulMorris/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/PaulMorris/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/PaulMorris/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-03-11T19:26:11Z","updated_at":"2015-03-11T19:26:11Z","body":"Ah, sorry, I was confusing preview/publish and temp-directory/user-directory, which are actually different things, and not correlated...  \n\nSo maybe the music view title bar should indicate whether it is showing a temporary file or not, rather than (or in addition to?) preview or publish?\n\nAnother option would be instead of putting this info in the title bar, there could be a \"status bar\" at the bottom of that panel, which could present info about the file being shown.  It could clearly indicate when a pdf is out of date, for example, by changing color or something similar.  Just an idea.\n\nI like your idea for making the engrave icon also a menu with the different engrave options.  "}}
