Scott,
I like the idea in SQ-1013 http://tracker.squeakland.org/browse/SQ-1013, but have some other thoughts on solving the problem which I prototyped in Etoys (using tile scripting only, Etoys Rocks!!!).
Am sharing with the dev list and the rest of the community to get their ideas and input. The project can be seen herehttp://www.squeakland.org/launcher?http://tracker.squeakland.org/secure/attachment/15263/Scriptor+Show+Hide.007.pr .
Couple more changes to the prototypes in my project I would suggest:
1. The "Collapse/Uncollapse" button should be right next to the script name, so you don't get that visual jerkiness of the button moving when you click it. 2. Instead of just changing length and folding up, you could fold in to (ie: set the width to just past the "Collapse/Uncollapse" button to have more visible screen real estate. 3. We may want a Show/Hide all scripts option (perhaps with a keyboard shortcut.) FYI, I misnamed some of the buttons in the project as "Show/Hide" when they were really "Collapse/Uncollapse", then realized we need both. 4. It would be nice to have a more visually appealing "Collapse/Uncollapse" method, where instead of changing the length of the Script Editor, we "glide" the change over a period of time. (I started playing around trying to prototype this and ran into other issues, but separate subject and a separate email will follow).
Thanks for all your work (and Richo's and Karl's, Bert's, Subbu's, ...) the next version of Etoys will be even better with bug fixes and new features, can't wait!!!
Stephen
