Project Browser
Hello,
I have some strange behavior from the Project Browser. Tree links are misaligned and sometimes I have an empty space of many lines in the tree.
I have Indy 9 dot 5, macos Sierra. (putting the version with a real dot blocks the message)
I don't have permission to post an image or a link. Maybe because I have not been here very long.
(but I think I have an account with my old email...)
Have you ever seen this problem too?

Re: Project Browser
Hi Christian,
The Project Browser has some quirks. I see the same problems you see. For me it happens when the Project Browser refreshes itself and is expanded over two level deep. For example when I open a new stack.
What helps is to change the textsize this rebuilds the Project Browser most of the time. If that fails you have to close and restart the Project Browser.
Kind regards
Bernd

Re: Project Browser
You are exactly correct, you will be able to post links, images, and text that looks like a link in the parser in about 2 or so more posts.ChristianBC wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2020 7:28 amI have Indy 9 dot 5, macos Sierra. (putting the version with a real dot blocks the message)

Re: Project Browser
Well, as long as it is easy to write our personal version of the Project Browser (list recursively all object in the hierarchy, this is difficult to understand why this is not taken care of.)
Ctrl-click should also permit actions on the structure like duplicate (any object), delete (really, just closing and removing from memory, it always come back.)
While stepping into a script, the project browser disappears. I have to click on something like Message box button to get the menubar and then I can get the Project Browser. Can we add a simple way to display it? Add a button in the iconic menubar or with an option to let it always visible in debug mode or let us type open Project Browser in the message box.
I remember the Application Browser. I'm still looking for the Messages Watcher.
Have a good day!

Wow! Thank you so much! This is much better!
Doesn't it make the Project Browser unuseful?

Re: Project Browser
I guess that would depend on your point of view, and which one your more comfortable using.
There are certainly 2 different workflows around those 2 tools, but the PB isn't all garbage (when it works correctly).

Re: Project Browser
One the contrary, different strokes for different folks. Personally, I prefer the Project Browser these days. I used to use my own object browser, but I got tired of maintaining it when the PB came along with good support for Behavior scripts. LC used to ship with the App Browser shown there, now left for community maintenance and distributed as a plugin. Geoff Canyon's revNavigator is also an excellent object browser with integrated inspector. There are others floating around in our community as well. As with Linux, when a system is tailorable everyone can have exactly the look and feel they most want.ChristianBC wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2020 8:01 pmWow! Thank you so much! This is much better!

Re: Project Browser
I used the Application Overview for about 10 years before the Project Browser arrived,Doesn't it make the Project Browser unuseful?
and I suppose my continued use of it is "better the devil you know than the devil you don't."
They both have their own strengths and weakness.
