So it's a more open format but you've got to install a PDF viewer which is a pain... doesn't sound like much of an advantage...

Annoying at first, but better now they've fixed the hot-links.

BTW, does anyone know how to get Acrobat Reader to collapse all the index nodes. By default the help documents open with the index tree fully expanded (which I don't like). The only information I can find suggests that the original document would have to be saved with the index tree in the collapsed state.

They've fixed the hotlinks? Any time it says "for details see <this section> of <this document>" and I click on the hyperlink, I get the first page of that document, not the section it was supposed to be sending me to...

Also half the things I press F1 on I get an empty Acrobat Reader (try app.dbPath)

Would anyone else like to see the ability to use custom skins in the IDE?

As a developer I can see why they chose not to allow it, but as an end-user I want to use my skin :)

Before seeing custom skins implemented in the IDE for the developer to enjoy I would rather like to see more productivity tools provided by the IDE or, alternatively, the access to API's to customise the IDE with plug-ins I can write myself.

Jens

One method we use at the moment is to create a schema file from a Jade Script. You can then either use jadloadb as an external process to load the schema file (must be using Jaderap) or just load the file from Jade. We use this to construct our agent layer for updating objects in the database.

The schema file format is published in the back of one of the manuals, think it is the admin and installation guide. A little care is needed to make sure all the right parts are in the schema file as the loader does not pick up all the possible errors, eg missing class map file links.

Imagine you have a UML modelling tool allowing code maintenance both ways: create a class incl fields in your schema and have have the class model diagram automatically updated, or vice versa, modify class diagrams, for instances, and see the changes reflected automatically in the schema browser. On a button press, no fussing around with schema files, loading of files etc. An integrated plugin (feature).

The same would apply to refactoring tools, etc.
