Hi Tudor,
Thank you.
Yes, just to test the project in a real case, I created a package that
uses Fame metadescription like MSE to export and import moose models.
In the main page I talk a bit about the extension, but I didn't
mentioned it in the summary mail. It needs to be better tested... and
a progress bar like MSE!
In Moose 4.1:
Gofer new
squeaksource: 'Fuel';
version: 'Fuel-MartinDias.74';
version: 'FuelFameExtension-MartinDias.10';
load.
And opening a new MoosePanel it will have the export to FL and import
from FL options.
I would like to have your feedback!
Martin
