Designer 2 Build #355 - released 4/2/2012 - Feedback wanted!

[aconran]

I'm don't quite grok how the override works. I create a simple panel, the did the "override" option from the context menu. As you can see from my screen shot, it created, from the class MyApp.view.MyPanel an override class MyApp.view.override.MyPanel.

You can't run a separate editor and the Designer at the same time yet.

As I show in the screen shot, I was thinking that if add my own title attribute this should show up as my panel title when I run it.

Two points of confusion:
1) the title does not change when i run the project
2) when I press save project, my overwrite project change gets overwritten.

Hmmm. I did agree I was an advanced user when I selected this choice. Maybe it found me out and is somehow punishing me.

I believe the above 2 points are simply due to the limitation that you can't edit your override concurrently outside of the designer at the moment.

Thanks Aaron. (as I run to my dictionary to find out if "at the moment" implies any future work).

I noticed if I add my own "requires" to catch the overwrite class in my viewport that it works as I would expect (code below). Is that the plan? That is, when we create overrides, do we need to add the requires ourself, or is this an "at the moment" thing also?

Ext.define('MyApp.view.MyViewport', {
    extend: 'Ext.container.Viewport',
    requires: [
        'MyApp.view.MyPanel',
        'MyApp.view.override.MyPanel'
    ],

Future yes, distance in future... tbd

Designer will include it for you as soon as it detects that its different than the default code it generates.

Still not quite getting it. here is my sequence:

0) open designer
1) create extjs4 project with viewport and panel
2) go into panel, change to code view, press add override class
3) save and exit designer
4) go in with my editor and add title: 'my title' to apply in override class
5) run designer again opening same project
6) press save a couple times
7) notice my changes did not get over written (thanks )
8) no sign of overwrite being included in my project I can see.

What am I missing?

I just followed the same steps in Designer build #355 and the following application was generated:

Ext.Loader.setConfig({
    enabled: true
});

Ext.application({
    requires: [
        'MyApp.view.override.MyPanel'
    ],

    views: [
        'MyViewport',
        'MyPanel'
    ],
    autoCreateViewport: true,
    name: 'MyApp'
});

I owe you a beer Mr. Conran. I was looking in the viewport class for the override. I did not actually run the program the final time when I saw it was not generated. I just "ass u me d" it would not work like the last time.

thanks for the help and the override class.

Guys,

My designer is broke after upgrading to 359.

It prompted me to upgrade the older version project, to which i said yes and I got the following error
Designer Upgrade bug 1.jpg

I chose Ignore and it hangs with following message.

Designer Upgrade bug 2.jpg

Is there a way to roll back to previous version or a workaround or better yet, a fix.

Hi,

is there a way to downlaod directly the latest beta build (#359 I think) without having to get it through the update?

I am behind firewall and the designer can't check for a newer version.

thank you
