Dear friends!
FastExperts 1.2 released.
What is new?
1. «Component Palette enhancements»
The expert integrates into component palette menu and enables to
change the palette external view (multi-linesness, type of bookmarks),
and to work with bookmarks in addition. The following functions are added:
· transition from the menu to a required bookmark (active bookmark installation);
· assigning a default bookmark and transition to it through the hotkey combination;
· fast transition to the first and the last palette bookmarks through
the hotkey combination;
· assigning favorite bookmarks and working with the list of them;
2. «Code Explorer enhancements»
The main expert function is an opportunity of fats loading in IDE of
one of the units listed in the «Uses» explorer section. To perform
this, an “Open unit” item is added to the observer menu. Depending on
settings the unit can be opened with double-click on the required
unit, holding the Control key during this - as a variant.
The expert can modify appearance of the code observer a little by
substituting different pictograms for denotation of its units opening.
Besides, the expert can correct the incorrect positioning of the
vertical scrollbar and focus transferring on selecting the bottom
elements from the observer list.
3. «Manager of favorites»
Enables to create files/directories lists for their fast opening. The
lists can be enlarged with the current units, opened in the code
editor, or via the standard browsing in the tree of disc files and
directories. Functions of units adding and opening are accessible from
main FastExperts menu
There exists a special manager window with expanded functions set as well:
· files/directories opening (directories opening = files selecting and
loading from the open directory);
· files/directories adding to “favorites”;
· paths to files/directories editing and saving in “favorites”;
· files/directories deleting from “favorites”;
· files/directories order allocation modifying in the list;
· direct and reverse sorting of the files/directories list alphabetically;
· the general “favorites” list export/import to the text file;
Modified experts
1. New opportunities of the «Manager of the open windows»
Alongside with the list of all forms opened in IDE, the expert adds
one more list to the object inspector – the list of al existing
project forms. The form selecting from the list enables to load it in
IDE just from the object inspector without addressing to the other
instruments help.
2. New opportunities of the «Code Editor enhancements»
In the 4-th and 5-th Delphi/C++Builder versions there appeared an
opportunity of adding the list of opened pages (bookmarks), which
presents in previous product versions by default, to the editor local
menu.
3. Additional functionality of the «Components manager»
Now the manager can quickly select all non-visual components
(convenient in group dragging or general properties assignment).
Also there appeared an opportunity of binding (positioning) modifying
of non-visual components on the form sizes changing.
The expert can integrate into the form or frame designer menu. Now
this function can be disabled because collisions with the set earlier,
indirect experts, using the same integration, are possible. Also one
can observe several collisions while working with frames in the
Delphi. Tat is why all expert functionality operates only via the
FastExperts main menu, which modifies its state depending on the
current active IDE object, dynamically.
