Tomasz,
Please be aware that my last email wasn't implied any request
but just suggestion or proposed direction !
Furthermore, I wasn't waiting for a promise to have this in
near future release. Only your judgment will decide which suggestion will be
ignore, plan or developed for a future release !
Also Excel reference was just related to the way tab sheet
could work but not as the overall GUI.
Thanks again for your reply and your excellent work
!
Jon.

Hello,
Thank you for these suggestions. While they are
welcome and very useful, please allow
me to comment why I choose certain
implementation over another.
We all know applications like Excel, Word and
other "office-standard" ones.
They are written by hundreds of developers.
Sometime ago I was a part
of 40-people development team in Florida-based
company (much, much, much smaller
than Microsoft :-) ). In 40-peopleteam
there were people that worked for
months exclusively on small user-interface
details. This is the case for all the
companies
selling ten thousands copies (or more) of the
software.
Implementing fancy user interface features *IS*
time consuming.
For AmiBroker things look different - Idon't
have a hundred developer team here <FONT face=Tahoma
size=2>-
I always have to find a balance <FONT
face=Tahoma size=2>between time needed to implement certain feature
and the "coolness" of features. I can not spend
three weeks to develop "the most
fancy chart sheets in the
world". Sometimes a little bit simpler
(or limited) implementation
takes much, much less time. If this is
interface-only issue I sometimes would prefer it.
I am always trying to provide essentialthings
first that decide on analytical power of AmiBroker -
later I can improve the user interface and add
some cool features (which you can live
without for a while). I belive that traders are
very intelligent people that can see
the raw power of the software putting much less
attention to "bells and whistles".
Belive me I am doing my best - for example I
have developed syntax highlighting editor
within 5 days - something that takes a
month for the others.
I am always saying that AmiBroker will be
improved constantly and I can confirm this
once again. Your suggestions are being
implemented all the time, but since
my resources are limited not everythingwill be
ready within a month.
Best regards,Tomasz Janeczko===============AmiBroker - the

Here are my 2 cents suggestion about the sheets, the
indicator list and the GUI. In general, I think
it's best to avoid any predefined limit in any part of the GUI.
1) For the multiple sheet they can behave like Excel or
other program
a) Non predefine number of sheet, user can add and remove
them
b) Split separation between tab and scroll bar can be
dynamically move
c) If all tab can't be display small arrow can be use to
scroll tabs left and right
e) Option to place the scrollbar beside (like it isnow)
or on top of the sheet tabs
2) For the indicator list:
a) Instead of having a fixed list of Indicator, whynot
having a tree view like the stock list.
b) This view could be directly link to an afl file,and
wouldn't have to reload the file each time you change the script. Some
script could stay in memory but I think it's better to related to the
script on file only because we never sure which afl is more current
(the one on the file or the ones on memory).
c) Formula editing window could be separate from Setting
and ALL setting could be overnight inside AFL.
d) When Right click on the item of the list, a menucould
appear to decide if we want to edit the script, change the setting, addthe
indicator, run exploration, etc..
e) Modular script writing with #include style AND reusable
function definition
f) We can also have a separate small
list for Auto-Analysis and Commentary. The list could be a simple combobox
to quickly choose a AFL. This list will be user configurable by using the
full tree view list as the source.
g) An option to toggle off the "Always on top" of the
different dialog would also be useful.
Jon.

Hello Dimitris,Text tool - this is "side
effect" of "snap to price". Switch it offbefore using Text
tool.This will be of course fixed in the next version.Custom
indicators sorting - will be added in 3.80More sheets - I am
considering this but there must be some placeleft for the scrollbar
:-)Best regards,Tomasz Janeczkoamibroker.com-----

you add some more sheets with 3.80.?(Existing 4 cover nearly the half
of the job)Any chance for Custom Indicators sorting?Text toolis
not working properly with 3.76. When I write a letter in RSI graph at
30 position, it is placed at 5.8, which is the close value for that
date. Then I have to enter properties dialog and change position.Is
ot possible to fix it?Best regardsDimitris Tsokakis --- In
