Title: DmD Feature Requests
Post by: Controls Guy on July 23, 2021, 03:18:27 PM

Couple things I'd like:

1)  More control over printing order.   If you Print All, code blocks print in execution order, which means they aren't grouped by category, nor alphabetically.   You can rearrange the printout, but it would be nice to have more search-friendly options for printing order to save the time rearranging plus having the page numbers work.

2)  Since there's an option to filter expanded program blocks in the browser by presence of a rung comment, I'd like to see the first part of the comment show on screen after Rung xx - , or at least in a hover tooltip.   Is there a way to do that and I'm just missing it?

Thanks!

Update -- Oh, I see that the first line of the rung comments do show, it's just that I typically leave a couple blank lines before the comment to create some delineation between program sections, that's why mine don't show.

Yeah, I was going to say we display the first line of the rung comment.  We could easily change that behavior to the first line with non-whitespace? ? ?  Or better, first line with alpha numerics? ? ?

The second idea sounds ideal.  Thanks!
