I'm looking at the docs for Eclipse and I see "safe rename." Is that what you're talking about? Out of curiosity does it mean that when you rename something, it goes through all your source files looking for references to that thing, and changes them?
I understand that this is nitpicking, but I think FileMaker does something more robust. At least I think it does, I could be wrong. When FileMaker stores your script, it stores within it any references to tables, columns, scripts, etc., by some underlying id, not by name. Then, when it is time to display the script to you in the editor, it re-constitutes the names at that point. In any case, there is only the one tool for renaming things, and it always does the right thing. As I said, I could be wrong about how FileMaker does it. But by comparison, I'm fairly confident that in Eclipse what's going on is that, if you use the appropriate tool, you can not break things by renaming them because the tool will run around to all the source files and rename things for you. So while it is possible to not break names in other tools, in FileMaker it is literally impossible (other than if there is a bug, obviously) to break names. That said, I'd love to have in LC what Eclipse and Visual Studio have. gc On Mon, Feb 20, 2012 at 8:38 PM, Mark Wieder <mwie...@ahsoftware.net> wrote: > Both Visual Studio and Eclipse support that for refactoring.
