JADE Environment Development Ideas

An IDE option to show the milliseconds part of a TimeStamp would be useful when debugging. I recently ran into an issue where two TimeStamps appeared, when inspected, to be identical, but their milliseconds were different, causing confusion.

If I've opened a new workspace window, used it, and then cleared the contents of the workspace window I still get asked if I want to save the now empty workspace when attempting to close that window. It would be a better user experience if it d...

I frequently use Options on a breakpoint to break only when a particular condition is met, but setting this up is particularly cumbersome: 1. The option is only available in the debugger, not in the code editor where I can set my breakpoint. 2. In...

I've always wanted to be able to add an icon to the toolbar to run a specific application, regardless what the current schema is. 99% of the time I'm running our main application, but if I'm in a Class Browser for a different schema there's no way...

A class defined in a super-schema may no longer be used but is unable to be removed because it has methods or constants declared in one or more sub-schemas. I don't know of anyway to identify which schemas where this class has sub-schema copies. T...

If there are issues with the schema files when loading, the IDE opens a dialog showing where the problem is. In this dialog you can edit the files directly and try again, or alternatively abandon the entire load. Sometimes the issue is that the in...

The Jade Editor does a great job of colouring different language elements in-order to aid readability. However Type constants are not included due to several underlying technical difficulties. This JEDI is a request to consider again ways this may...

The Painter Control Hierarchy dialog is quite useful when manipulating form layouts, especially print forms. It would be helpful if the control position information was also shown, perhaps optionally, as a tuple (Top, Left, Height, Width). Also, t...

I often want to set a breakpoint to stop on a particular iteration of a loop or when a variable has a particular value. I can only set breakpoint options in the debugger and not when I create the breakpoint. It would be useful if I could set optio...

When working with show inherited turned on, in a class with a large number of superclasses and methods, it can be difficult to determine on which class a given method is defined. Currently I either double click or use F12 to open a free standing m...
