Element Browser - Going to properties dialogue
« on: January 28, 2008, 02:58:51 am »
Double clicking on an aspect of an element in the element browser (e.g. attributes) simply takes you to the standard default properties pane - it would be much better if this opened but you were taken to the relevant tab/section of the properties based on what you clicked on in the first place.

I think I would need a further explanation.
What tab would you expectto be default for each type of element? What context will "defaultize" the tabs?
Recursion definition:
If you don’t understand the definition read "Recursion definition".

If you use the element browser (found under "More windows" on the "View" menu - not the project browser),  you get a tree like structure for a single element when the element is selected.   However if I then double click on say one of the defined constraints, the standard properties dialogue box appears with you positioned on the "general" tab.  As EA knows I'm interested in a specific constraint it would be much better to take me to that constraint on the "Constraints" tab.
