Yeah (sigh) it's down to the fact that you can *get* the short name of something, but you can't *set* the short name of something. So I need to special case that one property :-(
It's been an annoyance forever, but I always put off fixing it because it offends me. But since you brought it up I'll go ahead and special case it. Any preference on whether I should call the property "name" but special case to display/edit the short name, or instead to call the property "short name" but set the name? I lean toward continuing to call the property "name" and special case the display, but I'm open to arguments. gc On Mon, Oct 1, 2018 at 3:54 PM Mark Wieder via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > On 09/24/2018 08:19 PM, Geoff Canyon via use-livecode wrote: > > As usual, you can get Navigator here > > <https://www.dropbox.com/s/kz3zqi4botzglgq/navigator.zip?dl=1>.
