IDE-Tools EurOmnis 2012/2014 Flash session

[Lou Picciano]

Thanks, Udo! 

Your Flash Session at EO was (is!) legendary... "Wha? Wait, wait... How did he do that?", etc. 

Look forward to trying the tools.

Hi All 

`Will give my IDE-Tools showed at EurOmnis flash sessions 2012 and 2014 to the community. 

They are at the moment on our FTP-Site: 
http://fileexchange.wigasoft.ch/ 
User: omnisdevlist 
PW: $sendAll 

(There is a commitee constituted at EurOmnis2014 to create an open VCS… they will be availible there too – if…;) 

Teaser: 
===== 
Imagine – after having programed dozends of Libraries – thausends of classes – a complex subwindow structure - and then maintain this program (after you layed half a year in the sun – `d wish for you ;-) - Just find the right library – class – and then the method - to put your breakpoint in it ;-) 

Imagine - open your window, move the mouse to your point of interest and type a short cut key to: 

- Show the method behind that object to put any breakpoint in it, 

- Show the design/layout of that object and show it selected to do….your desired layout immediatly, 

- inspect the WHOLE corresponding list under your mouse representing this value, 

- inspect („all“) runtime properties of that object, 

- show the associated schema, table or file class of the object, 

- show subwindow instance values of that object…. 

If you are editing methods of a class - immedialty switch to: 

- Showing the class in browser, 

- showing the class in VCS, 

- showing the revision history, 

- showing the superclass 

- Check In/Out or switch the checkedout flag 

- …. 


Supported version are starting at Studio Version 4.3. – Version 6 tiny resp. not tested - there are gotchas ! 
May be not all parts are working for you, but it is at least a start to get a „flowing“ IDE to push the Omnis community ;-) 

Below is part of the readme file. 
Please feel free to distribute, share, enhance 
…and please report any bugs and comments to usonnabend at wigasoft.ch<mailto:usonnabend at wigasoft.ch>.

PS: I gave my IDETools to Bob Whiting at EurOmnis 2014 – hoping - some functions will become part of the Omnis core and hopefully better implemented than my heuristic approach.
