Hi guys,
I am already enjoying GTSpotter every day. I cannot believe how good it is. And I tell you....I have been using this kind of tool since the first available one we have YEARS ago (Algernon, then Spotlight etc...). And GTSpotter is a life better than those. So...thank you VERY MUCH.
My only problem right now is that I am afraid I am not yet using 100% of it's power. I think it has features that I read randomly in different emails and posts so I am afraid it has more...
A couple of questions:
1) Is there a way to force GTSpotter preview via preferences or somehow via code so that I can build it as part of my app images? I know GTSpotter then remembers that but I would like to build images directly with that (some users of my images may now be aware of such features so I want them to see it out of the box).
Right now there isn't a setting for that, which is a bug. You can still execute 'GTSpotter showPreview' to enable the preview
Thanks, that works perfect.
2) How does it work regex or similar when you search? I seem to see things like "M B" or "M #a" etc...so...which are all symbols (#, * , ^ etc) allowed?
For the moment the query language that does not support regex. You can just use # to filter the categories that are displayed. If you enter 'copy #i' than you will only get implementors.
mmmm how can I filter the subclasses? I am trying "Collection #sub" and nothing. Then I try even diving into the class and then type "#sub" but still nothing. Am I doing something wrong?
To filter for the subclasses of a class you have to: - search for the class - dive in the class - enter #all
Ohh right. Stupid me.
Right now the category containing subclasses is labeled 'All subclasses'. Maybe a better name would be 'Subclasses (all)'
I would yes. In fact, filtering by "All" brings everything filtering by all...including superclasses and others..
Cheers, Andrei
Still you can create your own custom searches that use regex. For example look in spotterForCachedPlaygroundPagesFor:. In your searches instead of GTFilterSubstring you can you GTFilterRegex, GTFilterAlike, etc.
I think it would be super cool if you at least could implement by default the # and *. That would give us some power. (similar to what #matches:) does.
3) Are there more "actions" than the default action? For example, when browser classes, methods etc... default action opens a new system browser. So..are there OTHER possible actions? If true, which ones? How can I know all of the available ones?
Again for the moment there aren't any extra actions. Just enter that opens the entity in a browser/inspector/etc, and dive-in. Specific actions for each type of element are on the way
Ok, good to hear about that.
4) GTPlayground seems to have tabs and it seems I can even rename a current playground. However...I cannot seem to be able to add more tabs and then easily move across tabs. I have to open other playgrounds for it. So...I am doing something wrong? If multiple tabs are not allow then I think the tabs are a bit confusing here.
As others said for the moment you cannot add more tabs. You can rename the tab label which will create a file with that name in the play-stash folder in the image directory.
Cool thanks.
Cheers, Andrei
5) What are GTPlayground "Bindings" and in which case does the "Refresh" make sense?
I probably have more questions but I wanted to ask this at least.
