Nice-to-haves based upon B4J v6.00.
Files Manager open file with associated application by double click
Double click on a file to open would be a handy feature. F.e. the designer or texteditor to change a stylesheet (CSS) etc.
(instead of right mouse click > file manager > double click)
The open designer link is then not required anymore.
Files Manager configure External Editor using FileChooser
The configure External Editor dialog shows a textarea to copy a path,
Having a add, edit, remove option would be easier to manage the pathes.
Files Manager to create a new file
The files manager enables to add files via right mouse click, but not to add a new file, f.e. a stylesheet.
Having a new file option would be easier to manage additional files.
File Close Project Option
File > Project Close option to be able reloading an other or new project
B4J IDE Color Picker list of standard colors
Drop down box to select the JabaFX standard colors instead of entering or find in the color palette.
OR use the same color picker as the designer.
Libraries Manager XML Viewer
Finding out the properties & methods of a library is tedious as either add the object to then use tooltip to see the properties & methods or go to the help site.
Right click on library to open up a viewer showing the properties & methods from the XML file, would be a helpful feature.
Modules Sort by Code Entry
The modules are sorted per default by alphabet.
Option to sort according code order would be helpful for structuring the code.
Modules List Inline If Java Section
This might go beyond the core of B4J having the Basic Langauge as default, but in case Inline Code is used, showing Java (or other InlineC B4R...) methods would be helpful structuring & selecting.
