Missing PageEditor feature in PrpShop: hex codes

Postby D'Lanor » Sun Jan 17, 2010 8:52 am

Since PageEditor is now officially dead and no longer working with the latest Plasma.dll, would it be possible for PrpShop to display the hex codes of Plasma objects like PageEditor did? Preferably in the Object Browser pane but having it in the Object Properties pane would also work for me.

Although I am doing all my editing in the more reliable libPlasma command line tools sometimes it is hard to find the right object type and then I always used PageEditor for quick look-ups.

Noooooooooo!
This was my favourite tool!
Is anyone working on a replacement?

:cry:

PrpShop is its replacement.

Btw, PrpShop already can show the PRC XML (just right-click an object in the tree at the left), though unfortunately one can not save changes there. And after exporting a single object, you can view it in any hex editor.
I prefer e-mails to "diafero arcor de" (after adding the at and the dot) over PMs.

I am not talking about hex editing (which I have done in the past and really do not have the time to do anymore). I mean hex codes for Plasma objects, because the command line tools write file names like this: [006D]SomeName.po. And if you don't know that 006D is an ATC Anim you could search for a looooong time and you would have to decompile each object to prc and look inside to see what it is...

There is a type map in an Excel spreadsheet in the libPlasma SVN. I find it very helpful...

Thanks, that is indeed useful. (but I still would like to see this function return in PrpShop)

Ok, it's added as of r95. You can turn it on/off in the Tools menu, under "Show Type IDs". Note that when they're shown, it will sort the types in the Object Browser by the Type IDs now, rather than the type names...

Doesn't work for me with build 79.
