[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #8656] Variable Editor (expanded from Patch #8316)

[Philip Nienhuis]

Update of patch #8656 (project octave):

                  Status:               Need Info => In Progress

Follow-up Comment #3:

Thanks, I've just built a tip with it and it works. I like it!

Some of the glitches I found:

Clicking on a cell containing another cell array in a nested cell array will
crash octave (signal 6).

Double-clicking in an element of a struct array gives some incomprehensible
error (("error: 'scalar' undefined near line 1 column 1") plus a popup that
does show the proper values.
=> Looks like a simple fix.

NaN / Inf values are shown in small caps, not 'NaN' or 'Inf'

Clear <variable> when <variable> is shown in the variable editor is catched
with <variable>: not found. Nice; maybe the subpane can be closed instead?

Empty strings are shown as empty cells instead of consecutive double quotes
(which I would think to be more consistent).

The variable editor pane position and dock state isn't remembered across a
restart of Octave.

All in all I find it very usable.

I'll change status to "in progress"
