Mike,
gosh, you noticed that I like WO Builder! Yes, it's another one of
those things that Apple put a lot of effort into the small details to
make the whole package very usable.
But I don't use WO Builder these days. Until yesterday I used it to
view the big picture and identify the things I wanted to edit in the
WOD Editor. But your new display modes are better! 8^)
A permanently displayed list is always more usable than a popup or
modal list (so the usability gurus tell us), and the WO Builder
inspector adds the validation display in the list as well.
Regards
Thomas
