[Feature request] Holistic Scripting Tools

[Tom-McQuillan]

Having worked extensively with DQMH and AF, the number one thing that's missing for me in SMO is the holistic scripting tools.

These are the things I would like to see in the SMO editor/scripter :

• A SMO renaming tool.
• An event renaming tool.
• Updating VI icons whenever new VIs are created.
  - Along with updated banners when new SMOs are created (with unique colours)
• "New VI for Data Member Access...", a tool that scripts getting and setting the private data in by-reference modules
• When a new Public Method or Private Event message is created:
  - If the new user events haven't been registered (for example the first Private Event), script the registration.
  - Create the event case that handles the user event
  - Create a new case in the SM, and have the new event case link to it
  - Ability to add a description when creating the message, which is then added to the 'Send' VI description and the associated SM case.
• Have Public Events handled by the TestLauncher VI.

And if it's not too much to ask, I'd ideally like some of the above to be packaged as a project provider. 😇

Hey @Tom-McQuillan

There are no repositories for the JKI SMO editor tool and as far as I know, the editor code has never been open sourced.

If JKI is willing to open source the current code base, I'd volunteer to co-manage an effort with you to bring this to more than an MVP.

I’m pretty sure that between the three of us, we can make that happen :) -- Jim Sent from my mobile.
