every one,
<br>
<br>
Gambas IDE became better and better with years and years and has
now a lot of options, tips, etc...
<br>
<br>
But as a simple user, here you find list of options i don't or
never use :
<br>
<br>
A-) Top of IDE, menus :
<br>
<br>
Menu File:
<br>
Reload project : I never use this command because if i need to
reload project, it's because a crash of IDE.

No, if you have custom design components you need to be able to
reload the project if you alter and recompile them. -> <font

<font color="#ff0000">DISAGREE</font>. The only one I have never
used (probably because I just dont like the format) is Insert Todays
Date. Further, although all the items have shortcuts, so if I have
a glass of red in one hand then the menu is <b>useful</b>.<br>

I'm only going to comment on the last. The Special character item

E-) Widget toolbox:
<br>
All is ok but i need two very important things :
<br>
- When i maximise my IDE, and move cursor on widgets, descriptions
of widget are behind my xfce taskbar and impossible to know what
widget i select.
<br>
<br>
- To hide or show help, i need to click on the very very smal
arrow on hbox in IDE. Is it possible to put small toolicon bar on
the top of widgets properties.
<br>
<br>
What does it mean icon : Show depreciated widgets? For what this
icon exist?
<br>
<br>
F-) On the bottom :
<br>
Console : I push F11 all the time to remove this console. I use a
lot but if it's possible, console need to be hidden by default.
<br>
Notes icon : I never use this option.
<br>
<br>
Conclusion :
<br>
Gambas IDE is a very good tool, but it could be more slim and
cleaned to be more efficient.
<br>
Thanks for your comments.
