Adding operations/attributes
« on: February 10, 2016, 12:37:58 am »
I have ranted about this not too long ago, but as I've got into coding once more, I stumbled over this once again: when I add new operations and press the cursor down key (well, another EAUI I got used to) it places the cursor in the name field for the next operation below the bottom row. So strange, so fine. Now when I do the same with attributes, all entries are shifted one line down when I tab out of the name field (the first line is cleared for input). The cursor down does not work here.

So what? Were this two developer groups, where one sits in India and the other one in Tonga Tonga? Or was this intentional to confuse the users?

And another thing: the order of the attributes in the edit window is different to that in the project browse. It looks as if they are sorted alphabetically. Why? (No, the Sort Alphabetically is not switched on.)

P.S. Now I remember. If you click the sort triangle in the name field, this is what you see. Of course, you do not see that this has been clicked somewhen in the past. EAUI, I love it  :P

P.P.S. Following I clicked various of the sort triangles. Seems you CAN distinguish whether they were clicked. So did I click all of them? ICR However, it happened that the input field appeared amidst the attributes. Well, ...

If you rightclick you can also set the sort order back to default.

Ah, thanks! That's indeed easier than clicking all the triangles - until the next time I forget about it  :-\
