Description

This was a request from Georg Ehlers:

He would like to have an additional option to the Execute and Execute All menu items that exist currently in the Python Editor. He would like the option to execute all code in all open tabs.

I asked Georg about this. He had lots of script open, and wanted to execute them sequentially, but didn't really want to spend the time merging them into one.

He did not know that you could run multiple scripts simultaneously, and also does not do this often.

My concern is two-fold:

  1. An option to execute all tabs would cause problems from mistaken use more often than actually be what people want.
  2. Given the independent nature of tabs and there execution it would not be easy to get them to run sequentially, or to guarantee the execution order.

As such at the moment I'll put this as a won't fix.

I'd cut and paste the scripts into one tab.
