Hi:
I have been using v1.5.2 for a few weeks now. Overall I would say
this is the best ever and is working rather well for me. In the
spirit of improvement, I have a few thoughts:
1. The shift/click of the toolbar should let each click add
some number of similar objects to the same container. After
a click, the new item is selected. If the last item were still
selected, then one could add a number of objects, say buttons, to
a frame with just repeating the shift click, i.e. shift click-click-click
on a button (with a frame selected) could add three buttons to a frame.
I know there is some case where this worked as I mentioned,
but I can't seem to repeat it.
I tried continuus widget placement, but this got confusing. Every click
placed something.
2. Some missing tree refreshes. e.g. when changing names of buttons.
3. Suggestion, change tree highlight color from blue to red.
Tryit, you'll love it. Really stands out nicely now.
in tree.tcl
proc vTcl:show_selection {button_path target} {
...
$b itemconfigure "TEXT$button_path" -fill #ff0000 <---- (red)
4. Don't seem to be able to set tearoff for the menus in the menubar,
the options is grey-ed out.
5. need to make shift-insert-compound like shift-click-menu to
insert into a hidden frame (the active one) easier. I guess you
could turn off the
6. The -command windows all open up very small. I had to resize
them everytime. Maybe these could be remembered somehow?
Anyway, I changed lib/command.tcl from 350 to 750
wm geometry $base 750x200+[expr $vTcl(mouse,X)-120]+[expr $vTcl(mouse,Y)-20]
7. The "are u sure u want to quit" is not necessary. If you change something
you already get a warning and can cancel the quit or save or nothing. I have removed
the
confirmation on quiting. Most other programs work this way. Could be a settable option.
Related: simply opening up a command window looks to vtcl as a change. Even
if no changes or the cancel are chosen.
8. This is not new, but it bites me once in a while. The split (h/v) panels are
very sensitive to adjustment. I find if I ever move the red frame (to adjust
the relative start sizes of the panels) I can get a compound that will
not work properly forever after. My workaround is to never touch these in vtcl.
Related: Is there some easy way to make the small red frame larger?
9. Minor, maybe a previous button in tip of the day, or reset to beginning.
10. A few more recent projects, and place them right in the file menu instead of
a sub-menu. Just would make it a tiny bit quicker to startup.
related: On windows, I tried to create a shortcut pointing to a file
to load (by being the first argv parm on the command line). But something
would fail after I would write this file out. The program would not
work properly. I Don't know what happens on unix systems. I do all my
development on windows.
Thanks for a great release.
Eric
