Title: Renaming
Post by: PLCGuy on August 25, 2017, 10:37:18 AM
It seems I can not rename a program in Do-More without making a new program then move the instructions from the old to the new.
Is there a way to rename the program?

Yes, right click the program block and select configure code-block.

This gets right into why I find some things so hard to follow. Using the same name for too many different things. It's getting worse faster too.

I can never remember that "program" in Do-more is a type of code-block. It's even worse trying to remember whether I should be saying register or memory cell or whatever. I'm not picking on Do-more, it's just bouncing from one package to another among vendors leads to the confusion on my part.

As was already mentioned, you can do it through Configure Code-Block. You can also go to the Memory Configuration and rename the associated heap item, that's what Configure Code-Block is doing.

Thank you.
I guess I did not go far enough. Was looking for rename program but clicked on configure code block and not thinking it was that simple to just retype the name. Stop making things so obvious simple.

Adding Rename is probably a good thing to do, but there is already so much on that menu, we are reluctant to add more.
