General Board / Re: Why is editing of names in the project browser gone in V14?

« on: October 12, 2018, 08:56:06 pm »

I'm actually quite happy that the edit-by-double-click is gone.

Hated it when I double-clicked to open a package but clicked to slowly so it went into edit mode. Happens to me all the time.

F2 is such a widely used shortcut that I guess almost everybody knows it. And if not you can use the Properties view or the properties dialog anyway...

Just my $ 0.02...

Being able to quickly rename in Project Browser is an essential feature for instance when you need to renumber a large set of requirements after final review and restructure.
To remove features in a professional tool that has users for more than 10 years is not the right thing to do. I could understand if it was the result of an architectural constraint but this is just an arrogant, arbitrary decision that does not take into consideration the real use that is made of the tool.
If someone is annoyed by the feature or is not able to control its invocation it should be made configurable.

Bugs and Issues / RTF documentation with user defined styles

« on: May 20, 2011, 12:48:20 am »

I've defined some new styles in my custom template.
I've applied those styles to {Element.Notes} and {Pkg.Notes}.
After generating, the result RTF document only respects the style in the last paragraph of each note, the first ones are set to Normal.
This happens whenever the notes text has several paragraphs or bullets (may be also in other similar scenarios as well).

The issue happens from (at least) version 8.0.864 to 9.0.906

« on: May 26, 2011, 10:31:06 pm »

Version 9.0.906 Reverse Engineer (Synchronize existing classes) moves class elements to root folder of import from the namespace respective folders.

Checking : Create Package per Namespace and
Synchronize Existing Classes
Steps
1. Import Source Directory

=> All class elements are moved to the root folder of the import.

This is a show stopper. We are downgrading to version 8!

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Get user Permission

« on: September 19, 2008, 02:42:12 am »

Without going directlly to security tables is there any way to check if current user has a specific permission?
Is there a permissions enum available?

Thank You for any help.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Add-in tables and EA Data Transfer

« on: October 28, 2008, 04:46:19 am »

Since nobody seems to care for this question, maybe I add some more info.
There is a table in EA (usysTables) that lists some of the tables of the schema. It would be quite easy to add just two columns to it in order to allow add-ins to write their own tables there and make the project transfer copy the tables listed.
Just my two cents in case someone cares.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Add-in tables and EA Data Transfer

« on: September 16, 2008, 04:05:42 am »

How can I instruct EA from an add-in to include some add-in specific database tables in Data Transfer operations ?
Or, at least,
Is there any notification (event) of a Data Transfer operation that provides both connection strings (source and target) ?

Thank You for any help.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Element details window and PropertyPage interface

« on: September 16, 2008, 04:19:28 am »

It would be very nice to have the Element details TabControl exposed as a PropertyContainer interface to wich we could add our own PropertyPages. Is there already a way of doing this? Are You guys at Sparx considering it? I think it would give a lot of power to add-in development.

Thanks for any help.
