Rev Editor

Want to edit something? We can help!

Now you can drag a handler to any tab!

That's right, spring-loaded tabs!
  1. Drag a handler over a tab and that tab opens.
  2. Drop the handler wherever you like in the new tab's handler list.

Watch this video to be amazed:

NOTE: you do not need to update in order to use this feature. You have all had spring-loaded tabs for a week now. None of y'all found it, though!

Bonus!
  • Dragging to a tab also works with folders.
  • You can copy (even folders)...by using option key.
Use drag-to-a-tabs to extend your use of RevTalk:
  1. Reuse: make a scrapbook "drag-from" stack of often-used handlers.
  2. Inheritance: drag handlers up/down the message path for wider or selective use.

Need to move or copy a handler?

Just drag-AND-drop, baby.

Overview of today's update:

Of note...

Although not apparent from the video, you can also move and copy handlers via drag-n-drop when you have your handlers sorted. You do not need to be in non-sort mode to use this feature, but, since your handlers and folders are sorted, you can only drag-n-drop to folders. You cannot, of course, drag a folder in when your folders are sorted...nothing would happen.

All that notwithstanding, I think we'll see more of you good folks turning the Sort handlers column button off, now that it's so easy to move handlers and folders around.

Few more things:
  • New Preference: Archive when Saving. Check it. Otherwise, no archiving for you.
  • Close a main stack in the Object Browser, and it is now removed from the Stacks column without your having to refresh it in any way.
  • Deleting a group in the Object Browser's Controls column deletes the entire group from Revolution. No surprise, there.
  • NOW deleting a group also removes the group's children from Controls right away—without your having to refresh the controls by clicking the parent card in the Cards column.

For some bizarre reason, I suddenly seem to be channeling Telly Savalas.

Getting to the bottom of a handler

NOTE: If you have the insertion point (or text selection) part way into a handler's code, and you click the handler's name in the handler list, you will see the bottom line of the handler selected rather than the top. This maneuver—as well as the others depicted above, works on Raptor handlers as well as the more ordinary variety.

The feature was added on Sun, Sep 6 @ 10:30AM CDT/US. You will need to Check for Updates in order to use it. You are not required to restart tRev to use this feature, but if you have not updated lately, you may want to restart it in case the message broker was modified in a previous update that you didn't have.
