'Property'? better 'Properties'

Diego Cano Lagneaux — Fri, 25 Jun 2004 02:45:19 -0000

This is really minor and unimportant, but the 'Property' window and
the 'Property' tab would better be called 'Properties', since there is
rarely only one property.

Palette/folder renaming

Diego Cano Lagneaux — Fri, 25 Jun 2004 02:43:25 -0000

I have not found another way to rename a palette or a folder than to
manually modify the xml file.
Of course, the other way would be to erase the old folder or palette
and create it again.
Both ways seem to be heavy and not user-friendly.
Therefore, some renaming option for this elements would be
apreciated.

Component name on the palette

Diego Cano Lagneaux — Fri, 25 Jun 2004 02:40:37 -0000

When we have a huge number of components in a palette, sharing
all the same icon, finding a particular component can be quite hard.
It would be nice to show the name of the classes under the
component icons; however, since some classes have really long
names, we can limit it to a fixed number of letters.

Easier renaming of beans

Diego Cano Lagneaux — Fri, 25 Jun 2004 02:37:58 -0000

To rename a component, currently we have to right-click on it, then
properties, then the Customize tab, and finally renaming it.
Renaming a component is a common task, and this long procedure
can be quite heavy.
What I would propose is, similar to some file managers around, a
single (or double) click on the name of the component would allow
us to rename it.
Another, easier to implement solution would be to add a 'rename'
option to the right-click menu.

Better finding of beans to load (search box)

Diego Cano Lagneaux — Fri, 25 Jun 2004 02:34:21 -0000

On the window presenting a list of all the beans in a jar file, it is quite
difficult to select a group of beans. Arranging them in aphabetical
order has been a huge step ahead, but a search box would still be
very useful.
The idea would be to introduce a search box on the window.
Entering a regular expression in it would reduce the list shown to the
only elements matching such expression.
This way, we could fastly find groups of beans.
