Make prettier trees.

The label on tree elements should be constrained by a bounding box with the left-hand margin set to avoid overlapping the tree lines.

Right now, line breaks in the label cover the treeline at the sibling level (see the screenshot).



From an html standpoint, I'd just wrap the label in a <div>

HTTP PUTs don't auth.

When I perform a PUT action with the HTTP Utility, it doesn't auth with the supplied username & password. When I perform POSTs, DELETEs or GETs, the debugger shows 1 transaction with 401 not authorized, and then a second with the auth sent (and success). With the PUTs, only the 401 transaction is listed. Am I missing a step, or is there a bug in HTTP Utility?

A comment on the question "Perpetually nullable." in Bungee Labs:

That's where I saw it. So - is it retaining the value and just showing it checked, or do the attributes stay null regardless of the check? – bear454, on October 14, 2008 00:05

Is there a way to duplicate an entire class?

Aside from creating a new class, and copying & pasting each of the fields & functions in the original... is there an easier way to copy an entire class?

Perpetually nullable.

I can't uncheck nullable on an attribute. When I uncheck it, Save, navigate away, and come back, nullable is checked again!

I've requested that GetSatisfaction convert this from a Problem to an Idea.

bear454 reported a problem in Bungee Labs on October 04, 2008 00:24:

Infinite duplication of "CopyOf"

When copying fields/functions/forms from one Class to another, the copied object's name is prefixed with "CopyOf" even if the original object's name is not duplicated in the Class.

I can understand doing this if the original name is already in use in the Class, but I don't see the benefit to this behavior if the field name isn't a duplicate.



To recreate:

1. Create a field "Fish" in an existing Class.


2. Create a new Class.


3. Copy a field from an existing class.


4. Paste the field into the new class. The pasted field will be named "CopyOfFish".

My session is forgetful.

Builder doesn't remember the sizes of each page across sessions. Every time I log into the builder, I have to enlarge the right-hand column, shrink the left-hand column, and enlarge the fields and properties panes.

Saving time with the Add Argument button.

When you add an Argument to a Function, the new argument is selected, and the Add Argument function is removed from the toolbar.

It would be a timesaver to keep the Add Argument button available, referencing the parent function of the selected argument, instead of having to re-select the function, to make it show up again.

Hey Ted, next time you're trying out a new service, you might want to post something less 'committal'. And in the present.
