[IPython-dev] Updating saved cell content with widgets

[Jonathan Frederic]

Hi Phil,

Static widgets are on the roadmap for IPython 3.0; however, the print value
(stdout) should be saved in the notebook and visible upon export via
nbconvert (or download as).  After changing your slider, did you explicitly
save by clicking Ctrl+S or File>Save and Checkpoint... ?  If the stdout is
still not being stored, we will need to file an issue on Github.

Cheers,
Jon
