What WILL save time (and I think it's on the list of future V9 features) is script editor
"clairvoyance" or AutoFill as it's called. Imagine all your text variables
starting with vtx (autofill usually requires a minimum of characters typed) and now you
get a list of all your text variables, or array variables, or whatever variables.
Suddenly you realize there is a mistyped entry. BUG FOUND!
No. I found that potential bug weeks ago because I had the sense to run
with explicitVariables turned on :-)
Imagine an editable list you can add to for things like 3rd party commands
and functions. Typing dbquery_createObject() every time I want to use an
sqlYoga query, THAT is too much typing!
What I'd really like is an editable list of custom properties for an
object - and perhaps have autofill display them and let me choose.
Actually, I'd maybe be even more happy to have
setPropdefault -- called when setting any custom property which
doesn't have its own setProp
getPropdefault -- ditto
and then I could check if it was a typo (or other error).
e.g. I could do ....
setPropDefault propName, newVal
if propName is among the items of "contents,size,chart" then
....
else
if the environment is development then
answer "mistyped again" & propName
end if
end if
end setPropDefault
