Hi Mark,

I think the cantSelect property was always settable from within the Project
Browser. The reasons are discussed in

Hope this helps,

Thanks - that does help. I have to say, though, that Richard's argument in the QCC report makes more sense to me than the final decision. Why not just put a checkbox in the property inspector? If you're not changing the cantSelect by script then you have to bring up the PB to get to the object anyway, so the property inspector is one click away, and then cantSelect is like any other property.

I'm also curious now about the use case for cantSelect. I realize it's not going away since it's always been there, but I'm having trouble coming up with a scenario in which this is useful. My worry is that we're putting a pretty obscure setting front and center in a primary tool for stack design when screen real estate is already at a premium (e.g. we're already overloading functions into the PB.
