Small tools rant

Schwab,Wilhelm K
Hello all,

I spent some time this morning cleaning up the categorization of some of my code and noted that changing a method category goes something like this: (1) add a new method category; (2) there was no way to paste the desired name, fortunately at least the new one remained selected; (3) rename the newly added category and paste the desired name, adding the * in front of the name; (4) the browser is now filtered to the new category, so nothing is displayed; (5) display all methods again and hunt down the one to be changed; (6) drag it to the new category (after finding same).

It is unlikely that I will wade into the tools any time soon; my skills are elsewhere (streams, sockets, etc.).  I might be able to create something that would allow programmatic packaging of a compiled method.  Does that already exist?

Bill

Stef,

OBSystemBrowserAdaptor.  It is a little old for 1.1, so that might be part of the problem.  I will have a look at the auto categorizer; it is highly unlikley to be a solution to my problem, but it should contain the tricky pieces.

Re: Small tools rant

Lukas Renggli
Your explanation of step 1 to 6 is not understandable. Basic
information is missing such as what browser you use, what you try to
paste, what you have selected, what you filtered, how you filtered,
what you are trying to achieve, etc.

Re: Small tools rant

Schwab,Wilhelm K
Lukas,

OB, and the point is that it could be a whole lot easier to get a method into a particular package.  I already offered the wiggle room that I'm using an older 1.1 image, so perhaps there things are fixed.

Bill
