Ruleset Wizard - The new Ruleset development environment

[Astaroshe]

I wonder do you plan to implement some sort of import-function for exsisting (not encrypted) rulesets? As far as I can see you'd only be able to open projects that one already made, which means if someone wanted to do adjustments to existing extension/rulesets he would have to rebuild it completly?

One more suggestion, make it possible to somehow include the version number in the announcement on load. When I am helping someone with an issue, thats the only way they have of knowing what version of the extension they are using.

Ok, I'll include an announcement text option in the next revision.

Absolutely, but that feature will come in the later stages of development, when all the basic functions are completed.

I found a potential problem testing the wizard with FGUnity.
Not a bug but a change in behaviour between FGC and FGU. Stringfields no longer show up static-assignments (which is how the label-function for creating a window works in the Ruleset Wizard) and Jpg recomends we use the StringControl instead.

Ah, I see what is happening.

In FGU, I see that I had updated the static tag to not be used for fields that are database-linked. This is because these fields would be overwritten every time the window is opened in the database, instead of storing any data changes between sessions. It creates a problematic situation in usage, so I disabled "static" for database-linked stringfields to keep this from being done inadvertently. Static will only work for stringcontrols right now.

Changing any stringfield using a static tag to stringcontrol will actually speed up your window creation times, since they no longer need to create and manage database links.
