  • what (1) feature would you like to see added to Aware

Just curious, since adding the "tab" functionality was crowd funded and it looks like a successful way to push our (the developers) priorities to the top of the list, I would like to know what one (yea, ONLY 1) feature you would like to see added to Aware. Perhaps if multiple people have the same one @ the top of the list, something can be done to "prioritize" this functionality.

Since I asked the question, and this is tough, since I have 2-3 must-needs, but an easy one to implement (perhaps) would be to have ALL objects in the Business Space have a date of last change. With the ability to see and sort objects by this. This, of course, includes a DOL Change for the business space (replacing or adding to) the "V1.1 NEW" msg which is pretty useless to me.

1-a way to make RESTful requests to other systems from aware without plugin for each service.
2-PUSH update between users

two features, sorry 😃

The ONE thing I really want to see, is a real facelift to the IDE to make development more efficient, than going through too many dialog boxes to set properties, where lots of property settings can be done in one place. That's where we spent/waste too much time jumping through dialog boxes.
Look how efficient all the new IDEs have become.

I think AwareSoft should dedicate next version purely on modernizing and making the IDE more efficient.

All of the ideas in this post so far are pretty high on my list and selecting 1 thing is not easy 🙁. I want all of the stuff above and also the following:

  • Better UI creation solution i.e. a better and integrated way to create a theme, build and customize UI for vps/queries/forms layouts etc. etc..
  • More focus on native mobile features.
  • etc. (probably 10 more things, I haven´t given it enough thought. These things popped out right away thought).

OK, one of the things I liked about Sencha was the additional program Sencha Architect. (Yea, there were a lot of serious issues with it, like only one developer, etc. etc.)

However, it had a most excellent WISIWIG form editor. Could drop HBoxs and VBoxes to control the layout, Easy to change properties on each field, Could re-use toolbars or any other elements. So, what would save me HOURS (don't know about you kids, but when building COMPLEX forms, I must spend hours in the Change / View / Change / View loop to get it pixel perfect.

Yea, thats it. a very fast, very powerful WISIWIG Editor for forms.

Designing visually beautiful and complex forms in Aware, needs serious attention.

Suppress Zero for Numeric Fields (for default value=0)

If I remeber correct this request was posted initially by Bruce, but I see it very important for most users when entering data.

Now we put default value "0", but when that field get focus, the zero is not deleted automatically, so user has to delete first the zero and only after that to enter his data.

Thx,

I ran into this last night during my testing. I needed to enter 10 (Max # of tickets) and because of existing "0", it became 100 and I didn't even realize it, I my testing was not working right, because I had a 100 in there.

Another 1:

Te be able to place html content inline with other attributes. Now we can put more attribute in same line, but we cannot add html content.

What will be the benefit:

  • display different action buttons
  • display different text

cheers
