New entities created in the inspector are not saved on Linux

[gearcoded]

Hello,
I noticed that if I create a new entity in the inspector and try to save it with the aframe-watcher, the changes are not saved.
If I update an existing entity with the ID, it works correctly.
Here is the video:

And here is a small file where I tested that:

okay i just had the same problem and resolved it.
it's not linux-specific. i tried on windows and linux.
the clue was at the bottom of the instructions, but it's a little more nuanced than that.

Currently only handles entity updates that have defined IDs:

<a-entity id="updateMe"></a-entity>

if you don't have an id in the original .html file it won't save anything (but you can still copy-paste the HTML of course).
if you create a new object in the inspector, and manually add an id in the id field in the inspector it will not save - only works on existing objects in the file.
if you edit an existing object that didn't have an id field, by adding one in in the inspector, it will not save.

I hope there is a button "Export" that shows the text of the scene in an text box. Then I can copy it to clipboard and paste to my html. Then I don't need to install the watcher and Node.js.
Oh, I realized I can write this function myself!

You can do that already, select a-scene and click on the copy to clipboard button.

@JohnShitMan Can you contact me on discord, my handle is also vincentfretin there. I just finished an inspector build with undo feature and copy a-scene HTML to clipboard button with lots of fixes to keep the properties order and avoid exporting injected components. I want a beta tester. ;)

Beta testing finished. See my tweet https://x.com/vincentfretin/status/1861726540196708776
