So that this does not get lost in the Project Browser / App Browser thread, I've split it off into a separate topic:

There may not be many immediately obvious advantages to the new property inspector, but there are two extraordinarily significant related ones: 1) Widget properties would not work with the old inspector. You would perhaps have to create individual stacks for each widget and have its card copied to the inspector. This is really not practical or viable in the long term. The new inspector just requires a few lines of metadata in the widget file specifying what type of editor to use for a given property. Everything else happens automatically. 2) The new inspector is *really* flexible for the classic objects. Have a look at this fix for bug 16118 (no way to change a scrollbar's tooltip in the property inspector): https://github.com/livecode/livecode-ide/pull/562/files We'd like to make it as good and useful as possible. If the worst you can say is you can't see any advantages, then I think the non-obvious ones above make it well worth it ;-) Otherwise it would be great to hear constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement.
