Script Recording

[Hoib]

I would like to see a "script recording" feature, similar to what you have in some Microsoft products. 

 

Example:  I'm in browse mode and I want to do some sort of ad hoc report.  Turn on recording.  System now records all my "moves" like Go To Find Mode, set a field or two, Perform Find, {suspend recording}, Layout mode, set up layout, return to Browse, {record back on}, Go To Layout, {suspend record}, do a print {record on} Go to original layout {record off}.

 

That's sort of a sketchy example but it shows perhaps how it could help the novice roll their own and begin to learn the steps with immediate feedback - success or fail.

 

Just a suggestion.  Nothing may come of it.  It's been bugging me for some time.

@jbante - Thanks for showing me this.

 

I posted two, they're both over there now...
