Re: [Lazarus] Please consider adding Application Explorer to lazarus components folder

[Anthony Walter via Lazarus]

Ah, I didn't know about "Edit context help".

Here are a few things to of note.

Application explorer is not directly tied to the Lazarus IDE. Meaning it
can be deployed with applications written with Lazarus:

http://video.getlazarus.org/appexploredoceditor.mp4

Also beyond the context help editor you can search for items, highlight
them (by pressing the space bar), and view/edit properties and other
diagnostic information (inheritance, componentstate ect).

Maybe these features can be combined? Something to consider.

The tool may be merged into current tool "Edit context help" (Ctrl + 
Shift + F1). "Edit context help" somehow has similar functionality for 
exploring "how IDE is constructed". We can add "Application explorer" 
to "Help" menu to invoke "Edit context help" with new functionalities.

And replace/remove the ide inspector (view > ide internals)

A package for that would be welcome.

Ondrej,

Okay will do. This tool actually helped me fix the sparta docked form
designer yesterday and I submitted a patch.

Also, the online package manager ought to be integrated into lazarus, such
that you can browse and install packages from within the IDE. and if that's
the case maybe we could have a lazarus "what's new" page added to the IDE,
kind of like visual studio, that notifies users about what's new/hot so
that users might find new or interesting packages that would otherwise go
unnoticed.

Actually we are going the other way - decentralize components and 
packages. Such a tool should be added to the online package manager. 
Please contact Balasz (if he missed this messages).
