I just meant that some folks might like "number. name" and others might like "name (number)" and others might like "[id] name (number)” and some way to specify in the preferences might be good. Even just a range of choices might help. > But IDs are imperative when I get an error message like this: > > Hint: field id 12345 of card id 2069 of stack… Failing a proper mobile debugger some way to scroll to an object reference in the project browser would work for this.

Yes, I suspect the navigate on single click is one of those cases where it works well for people new to the platform but for complicated apps I at least do a lot of work without opening the stacks I’m working on. You might change one thing and know it’s going to cause errors elsewhere so you change a lot of things before wanting to open the stack to test. Perhaps this could be a preference too? > Right-clicking should present the contextual menu and leave the original > target intact. This appears to be the case already. In LC 7.1 I see that when using a contextual menu on a control will fail and the selected row will be the target but in LC 8 this works fine. The problem I find with LC 8 is that you can’t browse to a grouped control without selecting and navigating to the group because the clicking the flipper does that. I suspect this is just a bug. > > And a feature request: It would be nice to be able to copy or cut an object > from elsewhere and paste it into the current card you're looking at, without > needing to first change your location to go get that object. Yes that would be nice. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
