More informations about actions

[xan2622]

Hello.

Currently, if you look at the Actiona window, it's hard to know what actions do (at least, until you double click on one of them to see what it does). It doesn't help having a quick overview of the whole macro.

Here is my suggestion:

• add other columns to display actions' parameters:

• a right click on the column-bar could display a list of possible columns for the user to see (just like what Windows Explorer allows):

Or add more details in tooltips:

Hi! Sorry for the late answer!

Those are good ideas, I actually started a branch with something similar a while ago: a sentence giving a summary of an action's parameters.

My worry is that it may be challenging to sum up when there are lots parameters, especially if they are Ecmascript/Javascript.

Regarding your suggestions: with 1) its a bit difficult to see what parameter corresponds to each value, with 2) its complicated to setup these columns because each action has its own parameters, and 3) is for me the best one, I could maybe write the parameter's value if its in "non-code" mode and something like "[code]" otherwise (or only the first line).

Anyway, thanks for these suggestions, I'm definitely including something like this in the next "feature" version!
