Yes, it's possible to define 2 aliases with the same name in 2 different toplevels.
Then, you can refer to them using the toplevel name, like:
.top19.MyButton
or, if the toplevel has an alias, use:
MyToplevel.MyButton
There are still some problems copying/pasting compounds with aliases. There
is more work to do and it is now partially working (I made some changes today).
You can now copy/paste a widget in the same toplevel and it should not reuse
the same alias, but this is not completely working (it should be soon).
The idea is:
- if a widget is copied/pasted and already has an alias, if it is pasted into a
different toplevel, the same alias is reused, otherwise, if the widget is pasted
into the same toplevel, it will use a new automatic alias
- if a widget is copied/pasted and doesn't have an alias, and the "Use auto-
aliasing for new widgets" option is turned on, the widget is pasted using
a new automatic alias
- if a widget is copied/pasted and doesn't have an alias, and the "Use auto-
aliasing for new widgets" option is turned off, the widget is pasted without
an alias
