Hi,

Just a few ideas.

In step through mode it would be nice if the red box automatically centred on the screen so the current step is always displayed. This would make larger projects easier to debug, especially for those of us working on laptops.

Also it would be handy if in step through the push buttons toggled, or at least could be made to hold for a predetermined number of steps. I know I could change them to toggle switches but I seem to end up having to change them back and forth several times for every bug I have created, and after an hour or three......

As always I can not say enough good things about the product you produce and your commitment to supporting it.

The first suggestion is a good one and I will try to implement it.

Unfortunately, it might be too difficult to implement your suggestion about the switches. I'll look at it, but it might not be possible.

Thanks for the suggestions. We are always very happy to hear how we can make Flowcode better.

I also have a feature request:

When writing larger flowcode programs, it is good to break it down into macros so as to make it more manageable. However it quickly becomes problematic when trying to bounce around between all the separate windows that will result from doing this. I was thinking that it would be better to implement a "tabbed" display system similar to what is done in some of the other popular IDE's such as Mecanique's Microcode Studio (http://www.mecanique.co.uk/code-studio/index.html). If this could be added in addition to the separate windows system, I think it would be well received.

One other suggestion:

Instead of having to always import macros into a new program, could an "include" function be added instead?

Just some thoughts

A tabbed display is a great idea - I'll add that to the list. Thanks for the suggestions.
