Hi Jorge

Well you asked for suggestions...

Just some minor suggestions to make development easier and some things I find myself repeating everytime I use a particular operation:

File drop down menu
- Add a selection of the last 10-15 previously edited files (as Word)

Open File dialog window
- Display devices & ersatz sorted into Name order
- Remember checkbox settings (Show Devices & Show Ersatz)
- When the dialog window is opened display at the same point as it was previously closed

Add some indication (even if just sound) that Compile has completed

Find dialog window
- Remember checkbox settings (Show results window, search from top, etc..)
- Add listbox of last 5-10 previous searches

Find results window
- Needs to be larger or remember last used size
- Tabs are displayed as boxes

Find operation
- If the matched string is not on the current screen when the screen is adjusted the matched string is only half displayed right at the bottom (close the Compile Results before trying)

Excellent Barry,

At first sight, it doesn't look too much complicated to include and all of them very useful.

thanks.

On the next post you can see all the list of updates that I'll publish in a few minutes, but let me add a few comments here.

------------------------------------------------
File drop down menu:
- Add a selection of the last 10-15 previously edited files (as Word)
-------------------------------------------------
It will be considered (not today), but the list will be by "extension file" so, you will have the recent 10 for each extension filename, is that, ok ?

-------------------------------------------------
Find results window
- Needs to be larger or remember last used size
-------------------------------------------------
As you may found already, the window is resizable (using the bottom right corner of the window). This is the kind of thing not easy to decide which is the best option because, the last used size, can be or not the best option for the next time and since you can edit the code behind the results window, it's not very practical to put it very big. But, we can always add one setting to each one decide if wants to keep the last used size (not on the top of the list).

-------------------------------------------------
Find operation
- If the matched string is not on the current screen when the screen is adjusted the matched string is only half displayed right at the bottom (close the Compile Results before trying)
-------------------------------------------------
I remember to see this some time ago, but not now. I guess, this can be related with screen resolution and the font size selected in the Editor. I'm going to make some tests, but probably the global solution will be to display the found search one or two lines up from the bottom.

Thanks for all the feed-back.
