Working with Tags
« on: January 15, 2008, 02:37:43 am »
Hi all,
I find the way to work with Tags rather clumsy. Each time I want to delete a Tag I have to use the Icon. Same for creation of Tags. Why doesn't the context menu work. Or a shortcut? EAUI, I know. But that could be improved.

Further: the memo field is shown as read-only (when a Tag is selected) while the value field can be edited directly. What is the reason for making the memo r/o? (Answer: see above).

It would be soooo nice to have a way for docking user written dialogs. I recently found a way to create nice GUIs with Perl. They're much more fun than EA's. The only show blocker is that I always have to go via the context menu. I always dream of an event: OnItem(Dbl)Clicked so I could open my own dialogs.

Thanks, Neil. Now that you point onto it, I find it in the help. Question: why didn't I find it in the help before? (No answer required...)
