ZELDA v1.0 released (Expression Language editor)

<< < (40/45) > >>

zybex:
Published Zelda v1.8:
- Add BBCode copy function to paste syntax-highlighted code on Yabb forum (see above)
- Fix opening new Linked tab [thanks Doof]
- Fix some syntax highlight corner cases

https://github.com/zybexXL/Zelda/releases/tag/v1.8.0

To copy syntax-highlighted code in Yabb's forum format, right-click on the expression and select "Copy for Yabb forum".
You can also do CTRL+Click to generate the alternative un-quoted style as seen above.

Important caveat:
If the expression contains some HTML tags such as <B>, <U> and <I>, the pasted code will include some extra non-visible characters to prevent the forum from mangling it. This however results in an invalid expression when copied back into MC, so Zelda will add a warning in red. To fix it, manually delete and re-type the HTML tags after pasting into MC.

Likewise, there's an option to include comments (lines starting with ##, grey highlight). These comments are only valid in Zelda, so a warning will also be shown to remind the user to delete them in MC.

Doof:
Confirmed it now opens linked tabs for me without having to Ctrl-click.

Unfortunately, I'm now getting an unhandled exception error every time I try to close a tab. It doesn't seem to matter if it's linked or not. When I first ran this version after being prompted for the update, it opened up with a bunch of tabs re-opened that I had closed previously. When I tried re-closing them, I got the unhandled exception error, but I also get it when I try and close recently opened tabs as well.

I also was thinking that now that you're able to link directly to a field and edit it in place like this, is there a possibility of allowing the user to edit the Description field of the library field too?

zybex:

Can you please paste the exception here? I can't reproduce it.

I thought about adding the creation/editing/deletion of Fields, but that would just be duplicating something that you can already do in MC. These are one-time things, I don't think it needs to be in Zelda. Do you have a specific usecase in mind?

Doof:
No worries on the exception. I can't reproduce it now either. I do have the text from it from when I did get it, though. I attached it to this reply in case you're still curious.

As for the description field thing, I get what you're saying about not wanting to reproduce existing behavior, and I agree, that would be too much. My use case was that I was editing a field, which referenced another field that I couldn't remember what it did or what it's intention was, so I wanted to check it out. As I was browsing the list of my fields from Zelda's linked tab button, I realized how many I have and how hard it is to remember what each is for, and started wishing it would show the field's description in like a tooltip or something as I hover over them. Then I realized how few of my fields utilize the Description field (even though I requested that feature be added in the first place, embarrassingly enough), and then thought how nice it would be if I could edit the description right there from within Zelda as I was working on the expression itself. It's not crucial by any means, although the tooltip thing would be nice, or if it could alternatively display the description somewhere in the UI for the selected tab.

I also think we need to start petitioning the guys to add an "Edit in Zelda" right click option for fields in the tag window if it detects it's installed.  ;D

zybex:
I added some defensive code to prevent the exception.
I wanted to add the field Descriptions as tooltips but unfortunately the MCWS API doesn't provide them, so that's a no go.
