Re: Convert selection to free-form

Jeff ol' buddy,

:p

I always open the old source that I'm copying FROM in browse mode (I can't update production source directly anyway, so I'd have to copy it to a non-production source file to open it for edit). In CODE, I would convert the fixed to free, which would go to a separate window, and then copy that to the member I was working on. It was easy. Now with WDSCi, I'll copy the fixed to the member I'm working on, and then convert it - also easy, now that I know the incantation. It just would have been a lot more obvious if WDSCi had said "Can't convert in place while in browse mode" or words to that effect instead of "Conversion complete." Even better would have been if, when converting in browse mode, it was smart enough to do it the way CODE does. That would be helpful when doing analysis, often moreso that the indent view. Just a thought, of course. (I'm sure that Violaine is listening... ;)

Violaine,

Actually, after I sent my question I found the real reason.
I had the member open for browse, which is why it couldn't do
the in-place conversion.

Dave, I personally have NEVER done THAT.
