Pros and Cons of version 0.43.1 for a newbie like me

I talk about chat window.

Pros:

  1. No more ctrl+s to save the file, after you accept the code it will be save automatically.

Cons

  1. Every code that is generated in the chat, why do you have to reapply it after you apply? you should just “accept”.

  2. The header of the chat not sticky position any more when you scroll down the code

  3. You cannot send image in chat with empty chat.

I also noticed that the long context option is gone, or has it just moved to a different place?

As a suggestion, I recommend using claude-3.5-sonnet. It is already pointed to the updated model from October. The 20241022 version may therefore produce strange results.

I prefer The 20241022 version than claude-3.5-sonnet. The claude-3.5-sonnet is more mistakes and less understanding of commands.

It was never possible to send an image without text. You need to include text for it to work.

The claude-3.5-sonnet-20241022 now points to the claude-3.5-sonnet model, so there’s no need to use it.

you can do it in cursor 0.42 version.

What do you expect to happen when you send an image without context?

I think I did this myself sometimes. One example would be a solution that did not work entirely then I would for example post an image of javascript traceback with relevant parts of the page as answer.
All context is already incorporated in the image and then there is the previous context of the chat. Just adding “does not work”-text to the image does not really add context there.

Worked fine for these occasions. :slight_smile:

Just to clarify, this was never the first message, but a follow-up to the previous conversation.

Haven’t tested this in the new version 0.43 yet.

sometimes the cursor asks me to provide the error that appears in the browser console, and usually there are so many errors, it’s faster to take a screenshot and send it to chat, instead of having to type, “here’s a screenshot of the error in the browser console”. Or also sometimes the cursor asks for a screenshot of a table in the browser, when we send it there is no need to type “This is a screenshot”, right?

This was in the previous version but now seems to be gone…
