Random Thought of the Day:

Does anyone else wish that custom properties had an optional comment field that could be viewed in the Property Inspector (PI)?

I realize you can always comment properties in the code where you use them, but I find myself often in the PI looking at a Property that has, say an enumerated set of values, and I don't remember what all the values are, nor do I remember exactly where in the many stacks of code the property is first documented. I find myself wishing each custom property has a comment field.

I suppose I could create a library of setProp and getProp handlers for every property I might like to document and document the values or constraints there. I suppose if I am doing that extra degree of work then I could enforce any constraints on the customer property in the getProp and setProp handlers, but that seems like a non-trivial extra amount of work just to remember that the custom property should only have values of X, Y, and Z.

Thoughts?
