Zugg Software :: View topic - [2.06] When viewing functions in the PE, clicking New creates a class folder

When viewing functions in the Package Editor, clicking New from the toolbar (without using the drop-down) creates a new class folder instead of a new function.

It doesn't actually matter what the "filter" buttons on the left are set to...what matters is what kind of setting is currently selected. If a class folder is selected, then New will create another class. If a function is selected, then it creates a new function.

It's working fine when I test it here. I created a class and a function. When the function is selected and I click New, it creates a new function just like it should. So, if there is still a problem, please give me details on exactly what you are clicking on and selecting.

Oh, I guess I just expected it to work like in zMUD, where if you are viewing (i.e. filtered) settings of a particular type, clicking New creates a new setting of that type.

Well, it gets tricky when you have multiple settings being filtered. And unless you turn off the Show Class folder filter icon, it's really showing *both* folders and functions, so it's still ambiguous as to what you want to create. When you click one of the buttons on the main toolbar (like the Aliases button), then CMUD makes that setting the default for New, but the Functions don't have a corresponding main toolbar button, and just clicking the button in the filter panel isn't enough. If I think of a way to improve this in the future then I'll tweak it.
