good work!! it looks interesting. have you looked at codebubbles for some ideas?

I have a question about this: "They visually represent system components such
as packages, classes, methods, developers, and workspaces."

can you visually represent instances too?

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.


For the usage of the search widget Look at the screencast named�Searching and workspaces (�http://gaucho.inf.usi.ch ).
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
