1. Currently a component is identified by its class name.
This should be enhanced: a component must be identified with
UnitName.Name.
a unit name is a "namespace" and so MyControls.TButton <>
StdCtrls.TButton.
Currently there are several component name clashes in the pas2js and
FPC class trees.
The streaming system can't differentiate by unit name, so this simply isn't
possible.
I know that.
We simply need to adapt the streaming system so it can,
I already studied that, it's fairly trivial:
* When writing: write UnitName.ComponentName instead of ComponentName.
A trivial change, which can be done in a backward compatible manner.
* When reading, there are 2 lines that must be changed:
One in GetClass and one in TReader.FindComponentClass.
* To handle the text format, 2 lines need changing.
So this is not exactly lots of work.
3. Please add a search edit in the component palette, as delphi has it:
typing in that edit should reduce the visible tabs to show only tabs
that have a
component with the typed text in the classname, just like the one on
the component window...
(the component window is IMO not really usable if you are not using a
docked IDE)
Why don't you use the component list instead of the palette then? This
already provides a search.
If you read my message correctly, you'll see that I know this.
Additionally my last sentence tells you why I don't use it...
Michael.
