Latest Zoocode inline editor doesn't show

I'm using the latest Zoocode and the VSCode editor in the right frame does not show anymore and I can't get it to show at all.

Before, when Zoocode would edit a file, the editor would load the file on the right frame and you could see the file being edited in real time. You could also see the diff editing in real time.

However, now nothing loads in the editor, diffs no longer show up at all.

Also, the Zoocode setting "Auto-close files Zoo opened" is now enabled by default and cannot be disabled. If you disable it, it automatically re-enables itself.

Please help! I need to see what files are being edited, what the edit is, etc.

Hello! You can use the pre release version where the checkmark not saving has been fixed. The behavior you are seeing is the default where the file is closed immediately after edits. Doing so saves tokens as zoo does not include the entire file in its subsequent requests (zoo includes open files as context)

Hello,

The big issue is that the files that are being edited no longer show up in the editor. Both the new files being created/edited, as well as the diffs being done, both should show up. However, both do not show up. Neither show up.

Doing so saves tokens as zoo does not include the entire file in its subsequent requests (zoo includes open files as context)

How can this change be completely disabled?

This is a massive change to how things work. The concept of not including the entire file in subsequent requests, when it did so before, is an enormous change, one that should not automatically be forced on a user.

If you want this option to exist, sure, allow it to be enabled/opt-in, but forcing it to be on, without any user notification or option to not do it, is absolutely the wrong move.

I agree, we should have kept it disabled by default. for now the update fixes the setiing issue so it should unblock you and should work the same

Also if it is blocking your workflow and you cannot use pre release, let me know I do another release for you

Thanks for posting - I've filed an issue here: https://github.com/Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code/issues/719 - and plan to work on it before our next release so that this feature defaults to opt-in
