ad 3 - This functionality is availabe from Classview (Create Instance)
MH: This objects are not saved in db/source code.
ad 5 - I thougt registry were better way for windows (more chic). Perhaps import and export function for preferences.
MH: I developing on Linux and more version of Windows, with one home dir on net. It's hard to synchronize registry. And sometime after crash are registry lost. I belive in file. If is ~/.xotlide in home dir, i prefer use it, otherwise registry.
ad 12 - planned in next release.
ad 14 - Metakit is no SQL database. Addapting XOTclIDE for it were quite hard. Anyway metakit offer bad multiuser support.
ad 15 - I thougt about adapting Visual Tcl as Plug-In for it. But the main problem is not to build tk gui but offer OO Gui framework. Good were something like swing or .NET window forms widget set, which have also design time support.
daapp Using Visual Tcl for gui building is bad idea, VTcl produce very bad source code, TkBuilder produce much better source code. My wish - is something like Path browser from Python IDLE, e.g. browser for directories and folding for files in it.
