- New Tools menu, with macros and some nyquist in it
- Also has Macros... dialog, which can both edit and apply macros.
- 'Macros' feature was previously called 'Chains', so a lot of renaming.
Done by giving Macros... dialog an Expand / Shrink button
so that we can use it as just an apply-to-projects dialog, if we want.
The dialog is modal, and can be kept open whilst we work. So for example
we could put useful presets into it as macros.
... Because xgettext will just remove the \, not replace \n with newline.
That's consistent with Lisp reader behavior in this documentation:
http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw70/CLHS/Body/02_de.htm
The XLisp reader, which replaces \n with newline, is nonstandard.
So, to accommodate xgettext, use (format nil "...~%...") instead, or where
you can't do that in a $ header line, just make a line break inside the ""
There are a few "\n" left alone in sample-data-export.ny which are neither
in $ lines nor inside (_ "...")
... The code that parses the header was always just throwing them out.
The code that populates menus deduces whether to add ellipses, as there are
controls or not, regardless what the $name line said.
... The rule that one should avoid markup in translatable strings conflicted
with the more important rule against concatenating too many strings that are
too short.
... allowing (_ "...") for single strings, and allowing a sequence of such
inside outer ( ) for choice controls, but still accepting the old syntax too
- Move them around on EditChainsDialog so that dialog can be shrunk. (new column).
- Use "Files..." not "Files" as the button text.
- Take 'Apply Chain to:' out of the BatchProcessingDialog buttons, and place as separate text.
Some work on chains to make the dialogs easier to use.
- Reduced duplications and unnecessary text in the select command dialog.
- Select Command Dialog gains a new 'Details' text box.
- Resized dialog so that more commands are visible.
- Now can apply commands direct from the edit chains dialog.
- Editing commands goes direct to editing their parameters.
- Fixed minor UI issue where button did nothing if nothing selected.
