Hej Mats,

römm pömm pömm pömm

After half an hour I think this will replace the otherwise really cool "Project Browser" for me!
Its a tad "snappier", probably due to the absence of snapshots of each control.
I really like the option NOT show the Tools and menubar

Again, thanks a lot for this fine contribution to the LC community!

That's really cool Klaus!

I really would love if we could get lots of discussing of the features and improvements of rIDE. IMHO I think there is a good chance of having a fast developing modern IDE framework if we the LiveCode users/developers set some creativity free. I'd like too see rIDE as a playground to speed up that process. With LiveCode now open and the community engaged in daily improvements of the engine there will be a lot of cool things that could be coordinated and developed to make the IDE really shine!

All the best!
Mats
