The name that the formula is going to be saved under (AvgVol)
DOES appear, does it not?
Can you read it?
Is it the right name? (NO, Donchian is open and it
would be nice if AB would load Donchian in the
box.)
If it is not, are you able to change it to the correct
name?
AB needs a lot of things, but this just isn't very high on my
list. If you convince TJ to fix this you will get my thanks and congratulations,
regardless.

Please, please,
No more " Are you really,
really, really sure? " windows or BS
boxes.
Tell me how a professional IT developer loads/saves the
wrong formula when the name of the formula is clearly listed in the
OPEN/SAVE AS dialog boxes.
While I agree that it would be nice if AB would
automatically load the name of the open formula from the Indicator Name list
into the File Name part of the OPEN/SAVE AS dialog box, I have no problems
keeping my 400+ formulas straight.

Subject: [amibroker] Indicator
Maintenance
Having just corrupted some of my indicators yet again I
thought I would postsome personal observations and suggested
improvements on AB indicatormaintenance. I am posting here rather than
direct to the AB suggestions boxto get the POV of other users.
Hopefully others may be able to offer sometips on best practice or
point out the error of my ways and also if enoughusers chime in we can
then compile a list of agreed suggestions for TJ toconsider.OK
here are my observations:-It is *far* too easy to corrupt
indicators without even realising it. I betnearly everyone has done
this. For those who think you have never done ittry checking thru the
code of all your custom and builtin indicators and seeif they contain
what you expect ;-)In the early days of AB when we only had slots
for a few custom indicators(20 was it?) maintenance was not a problem.
But with large and increasingnumbers of indicators I find accurate
maintenance a real problem. Inaddition we have systems, explorations,
scans, filters and those which docombinations. Over time I have tried
various methods of file suffixes,prefixes, directories etc. to try and
keep things under control but neverbeen entirely happy with it. My
feeling is there must be a better moreorganised solution with maybe
separate directories for these specified viaPreferences.One of
the big problems I have is indicators getting out of sync with
thecorresponding .afl file on disk. For example it is very easy to
make anamendment to an indicator while testing visually via
charts/guru commentaryand forget to save to the correct afl file on
disk. Later when I come tosystem test and copy/paste the code into
test afl from disk I get unexpectedresults. BTW I am sure the endless
copy/edit/paste operations will eventallydrive me to complete baldness
- my background is in commericial IT systemsdevelopment so it goes
very much against the grain when you cannot define aformula/module
just once and then just refrence it wherever required. TJhas
said he will add this facility but will I have any hair left by then
;^)Suggested improvements:-In IB add a Copy button to
enable a new version of an indictaor to becreated quickly. Default new
name = old name with numeric suffice e.g.HolyGrail[2]In
indicator browse list add columns for date and time last modified.
Allowsorting on name column or date and time. At present you cannot
check datesor easily determine which indciators you were last working
on.In indicator browse list add columns for In quick list, Uses
builtin code,Use formula only. At present you must laboriously click
down thru every listitem to determine these.Provide some
protection or warning to prevent unintentional overwriting whenusing
Load.IMO indicators should be directly related by filename to the
correspondingdisk file. For example the indicator HolyGrail7 is
defined via the disk fileHolyGrail7.afl Ideally AB preferences would
specify the directory name(s)for custom and standard indicators. This
would prevent many maintenanceproblems that the current architecture
invites and would also facilitatemany other maintance operations (see
below).Facility to bulk load indicators from disk files into AB.
i.e. browse andselect multiple .afl disk files which are then loaded
into correspondingcustom or builtin indicator names.Facility
to bulk copy indicators from AB to disk files i.e. browse
andselect multiple AB indictors which are then copied to selected
windowsdirectory.Allow the default directories for custom and
bulitin indicators to bespecified via Preferences. Maybe also systems,
explorations, scans....?All POVs
