Hello Graham, Your proposals are interesting but it maybe be useful to create some mock-up (modifiable/sharable) if possible.
I think we could by the way enhance the Run experience in GUI, an idea: - Be able to have something like Eclipse "Run Configuration" to configure user defined properties without having to restart , see https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=61755 Regards On Fri, Nov 10, 2017 at 11:34 PM, Graham Russell <gra...@ham1.co.uk> wrote: > I will list the user steps to see if that is clearer: > > 1.
