Stephen Thomas commented on SQ-1013:
------------------------------------

While I haven't been clamoring, the ability to show/hide is a good idea.

That said I would prefer a simpler UI where there was a collapse/uncollapse like functionality. Will attach sample screenshot shortly. But basically where the "Alignment" becomes the only thing shown on collapse, then click again (on some yet to be defined icon) to uncollapse and see the script contents.

Also in trying showScriptButton-sw.2.cs.gz if you have two scripts with the same name (which kids often do) you get two buttons with the same name, which requires an extra step to rename one.

> Adds 'button to show/hide this script' to the Scriptor menu.  When chosen, this will produce a button which, when pressed, will show the Scriptor -- or, if the Scriptor is already showing, hide it. The resulting button can subsequently be edited via its halo in the usual ways, e.g. to change the name, the color, the balloon help.
> AFAIK no one has been clamoring for this feature, but I believe that it would be found quite useful. Often we want to make it possible to reveal the inner workings of parts of a project.  For a small enough project, we often simply leave all the important Scriptors open on the screen at the same time, but this can lead to unwanted clutter, and past a certain project size this becomes impractical in any case. Buttons produced by this proposed feature will allow individual scripts to be "called up" easily for inspection, and as easily removed from view.
