If it's all about "text", could you not replace the DISPLAYED word
"Breakpoint" to "LenPoint" ONLY IN THE TREV DISPLAY. Leave the "real"
word as breakpoint when you save the file but when you show me the
script, just do a global substitution. Everybody's happy.
Just a thought...

Code is all about text, afterall.

Jerry,
I was thinking more of an inline image than the Rev "dot" next to a
line. It would occupy a line of its own. Doesn't make much of a
difference to me, but seemed like an alternative to the concerns
about terminology. For example:
on mouseUp
put 1 into someVar
BREAKPOINT #1386243
doSomething
end mouseUp
would become:
on mouseUp
put 1 into someVar
===============> #1386243
end mouseUp
Where the "=============>" is an actual image.
Basically, it was just a middle ground between changing the name of
breakpoints and going back to red dots =).
Brian,
Have you ever noticed the dots in Rev's debugger? How, if your
script has very many lines at all, the dots can't keep pace with
scrolling, returns, etc.? I have. Not pretty, to say the least. So,
no images floating around for me, thank you.
Also, keeping a separate array of breakpoints and keeping them in
sync with the actual code is not easy in a world where tRev is not
the only script editor. I used to have lots of these sorts of
"proprietary" approaches. It always came back to bite me in the
behind when people traded code with others or used more than one
editor.
So, a couple years ago, i decided to use text to indicate a
breakpoint. Easy to see, easy to delete, follows the code wherever
it goes, never gets out of sync. It's all good. Now that we've added
record id's as comments following the word "breakpoint", we can
attach loads of data to a breakpoint.
I'm warming up to the idea, too! I think everyone needs to buy the
product now!!
Best,
Jerry Daniels
