Every time I return to 4D programming the 31 character limit bites me. I spend some silly amount of time trying to jam enough information into names. I hate it. So much. Part of the problem is that 4D is missing any kind of module concept or scope, so I burn up characters with a module prefix. Which keeps my code a lot more reliable...so I won't be giving that up.
This feature request has been around forever. Satisfying it would make many of us a whole lot more productive in 4D. it would deliver a real, daily improvement to work with 4D, for those of us that use longer names. Feature requests on the NUG are just talk. Comments here are *officially* ignored. So, to make a feature request count, you have to do it on the forums, like this: http://forums.4d.fr/Post/EN/18946884/0/0/ You vote by logging into the Forums, finding the thread, and then clicking on the "rate this" stars at the top.

I use Chrome and it remembers my ID and seems to work fine now. (In the past, I could never seem to get the login to stick...now it seems to work just fine.) ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
