Hi Fernando
Already lots of good stuff in your app. It looks *very* good and it feels quite good. I especially like the toolbar and the icons, as well as the shape toolbar which appears when overing over a shape (the "appear" effect is too long though).
Oh, i'll change this!
For this first release i've introduced a long delay in the fadein animation, because for novice users the menu-toolbar will be used, but once you learn the keyboard shortcuts to most common operations you don't need it anymore. Also the menu-toolbar intention is to present what operations are available on the focused shape.
In the next version a Control panel will be available to modify the behavior of widgets, icons, toolbars and the sytem.
Is it possible to import/develop existing packages/classes into Gaucho? That would be a cool way to go beyond BankAccount for people who want to try it on larger scale :)
Yes! using the search widget you can import packages, classes and methods present in the image.
For external you need to still use Gofer or Monticello outside Gaucho.
This is how i actually code Gaucho within Gaucho.
Sequence of actions:
cmd-t: for opening the toolbar
navigate to the search button
press enter.
type the name of the package, class or method.
For importing a package "family", ( for example Gaucho-Core, Gaucho-Morphic, etc...) type Gacho*.
the widget auto completes entries, and is smart enough to filter accordingly. (it is still a litte slow, so dont type fast please).
press enter when the desired match is found.
the imported shape is highlighted in the pampas.
Thanks for the feedback,
Fernando
