Re: Setting preference for Generate free-form ... in -- WDSCI-L

Hi Michael
That was the intent when I delegated this work item to a student, but you
are right that the setting persists across the current editing session but
does not survive across shutting down and reopening the workspace.
Please open an RFE.

I know it's not uncommon for a thread to get hijacked to another/similar
topic, but I'm still waiting for an answer to my original question, if
there is one...

In LPEX New Procedure wizard, the "Generate free-form D-spec and P-spec
code" and "Generate free-form C-spec" checkboxes default to not checked.

Where might I find a preference setting to change that? Or do I need to
retrain myself to check those boxes each time I create a new procedure?

This current behavior in 9.1.1 differs from 9.1.0

Thanks again,
Michael

RFE 57040 is about priming the name field of the new D-Spec wizard with
the selected text.

Vicki is proposing creating a prototype from the selected procedure.

Both great ideas. I am thinking that the latter would be more in demand
day to day, but your votes will determine that.

I never thought I'd use the automated wizard. But on recent project I

was

refactoring code and the wizard was helpful. I too think it would be
helpful to set the defaults.

But what I would really like to see is a step-up. I recently worked on a
c# project in visual studio. Visual Studio does 2 things that would be
immensely helpful.
1) You can highlight code and extract a method/procedure. It's super
smart and even determines the parameters and return variable. I'd be
happy with the code wrapped in a stub.
Advantage- you get to do the brain dump of

getting the code

on the screen and then come back and clean it up.
2) Another request would to have the ability to type a subprocedure
statement. Right click and have the option to generate a stub.
Advantage - you know you need a procedure - you

know what it

needs to do but you want to iron out the details later and keep going

with

your current thought process.

Thanks.

new procedure wizard (RDi 9.1.1)

New to 9.1.1 (I may be asking a few other questions until I get
acclimated).

In LPEX New Procedure wizard, the "Generate free-form D-spec and P-spec
code" and "Generate free-form C-spec" checkboxes default to not checked.

Where might I find a preference setting to change that? Or do I need to
retrain myself to check those boxes each time I create a new procedure?
