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?
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.
Thanks in advance,
