This is intermittant. On MacOS X 10.4.2 sometimes the export function does not export the
code in the PDE file and it appears blank. It seems that this can be rectified by deleting the
file and re-exporting.

I will try to narrow it down..

have you changed your default java vm to be java 1.5?

No.. Some of my students are having the same (or similar) issue as well. I will let you
know if I figure it out.

could it be that you're not saving the sketch first? when exporting, it actually just copies the
code from the sketch folder, so if things aren't yet saved, you'll wind up with an empty file.

That may very well be it. I will let you know if I find otherwise.

While this is definitely a user "bug", perhaps the export function should autosave?

probably should, or rather, ask the user to confirm that it'll be saving or cancel the export.
whether it's user error or not doesn't really matter if lots of people are having trouble with
it, so i should probably fix it.

let me know what you find out...

k, confirmed that this was the problem, so as of 0097, people will need to save their
changes before exporting.
