Great, thanks!

Remco replied on August 26, 2009 14:25 to the idea "Add "Recent plots" to file menu." in EaSynth:

The "recent files" and "recent folder" settings are not "remembered" through updates. I suspect it stores the settings in the application folder itself instead of in a preferences file under ~/Library/Preferences.

This also applies to the question if I want to subscribe to the newsletter.

Is it possible to set an individual table row color?

The subject says it all I guess. :-)

Make window size of element picker sticky.

If you are working on a big screen and have to do a lot of element picking, it's not pleasant that the element picker window opens every time on the same (too small) size (see http://www.cygno.com/remco/20090821_F...). For every action that I'm working on I either have to scroll or resize the window. It would be nice if the window size was sticky - I have a big screen and I would like to use it.

I can indeed confirm that it works as expected in 1.50. Thanks a lot!!!

Ok great, didn't look for it there. Still think the logical place would be in the file menu, but this absolutely helps.

Thanks!

Double clicking on a .4ui file in OSX doesn't open ForeUI

The title says it all.

Make ForeUI more OSX compatible

It would be really nice if ForeUI's interface could be more OS X compatible. For example, Cmd-W is now "slide show", but it should just close the current tab (plot). Cmd-R is the shortcut for refresh. I have to use Shift to multi-select objects, while the Cmd key should do that. Cmd-C/V/X don't work, it's expecting Ctrl-C/V/X. Ctrl-click should be the same as right click. I'm sure there's more, this is what pops to mind.

I am not even talking about the interface itself, which could have an OSX skin, what I really mean is that the keyboard shortcuts that are part of my "muscular memory" don't have the expected behavior.

Add "Recent plots" to file menu.

I would like to see a "Recent plots" menu item in the File menu. I now have to navigate to the plot manually every time.

Oops, of course... That was not so smart of me... :-\

Thanks for the explanation!

Remco replied on August 20, 2009 02:43 to the question "How can I use checkboxes in a table column?" in EaSynth:

Good point. For now I'd already be happy with an easy way to render it, but I agree that it's a good idea to think a bit about it, would be awesome if it'd be actionable.

Remco replied on August 20, 2009 02:41 to the idea "Support copying of vector image to system clipboard." in EaSynth:

I know that on Windows, you can add data to the clipboard in multiple formats (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libra...). I guess OSX supports that too.

Then again, I already would be happy with whatever solution that allows me to get a window design in Word rapidly.

Add multi language support

Sorry to be bombarding you with suggestions and questions, but that's what happens when you really try to use a tool I guess. :-)

It would be great if you could supply texts in more than one language for elements. Most of the applications we develop have to be multilingual, and even if they are not multilingual it helps the developer to understand what the item is about (I know I can use the notes field, but it seems like a great idea to change the "change text" dialog in such a way that there are multiple tabs or fields, one per language. And then add a little flag to the simulation to allow you to change languages.

Anyway, just an idea (not very high priority, it's a "nice-to-have").

Remco replied on August 20, 2009 02:24 to the idea "Support copying of vector image to system clipboard." in EaSynth:

I would basically expect Cmd-C (or Ctrl-C on Windows) to perform that function.

Not sure if action attached to a menu gets executed when menu is selected

I am not sure I entirely understand how to make menu navigation work. I got it to work so menu's show when I click the menu bar. My problem lies in that it seems that the menu itself is not responding to an item being clicked. Although I think the actions are defined correctly, it just simply closes the menu without executing the action.

To illustrate what I mean, you can view a movie here: http://www.cygno.com/remco/2009-08-19...

Thanks for the tip. For now that solves my problem. I think it would be a good idea to support it though, maybe using [ ] for unselected and [x] for selected or something?
