- More info on the template editor called !Glazier that I mentioned a few
- days back... It's by a guy called Tim Browse... I'll ask him if I can post
- it on comp.binaries.acorn soon...
-
- The following includes replies to several posts, with willy-nilly quoting
- from them all! ;-)
-
- >This is interesting. Would you mind asking him to reveal the new template
- >format ? Maybe we have some suggestions for improvement.
-
- Well, he's mentioned that he has an official filetype, and I've sent him my
- suggestions for what would be nice to put in. Any other suggestions I
- receive I'll try to forward to him... I'm sure that when a format emerges
- he will be quite happy to reveal the contents to all...
-
- >>So any suggestions I will collect and pass on to him if he doesn't get them
- >>for himself...

-
- Already implemented. You can even drag the selection out and drop it into
- another window to copy the icons across! It runs in 2 modes "Design" (where
- you can't affect the WIMP-selected-bit-status), and "Test" (Where you can, but
- you can't select&edit the icons)
-
- >- nice structured C source where we easily can add our own tools ;-)
- > Or even better :

-
- Well, he said he might be willing to release the source when he's tidied it
- up a bit...
-
- >- output of a text file containing all the menu, icon & window text. This
- > file could be used as input for the MessageTrans module.
- >- grouped icones (like in Draw)
- >- print facilities
-
- All good ideas, which I'll try to pass on...
