VisualNEO Win. Version 26.9.30 (Minor version)
Just found this awesome application. I come from VB.net. And I wanted something more like Microsoft Infopath, where you add controls to a document, then set the properties. There was very little typing to do for basic functionality. I am very into low code, no code general purpose programming. I prefer to do little typing to set basic properties and define basic actions. Just select from a list.
When searching for an action to insert, it would be a quality of life to have a favorites category or most used. Then I wouldn't have to search everytime. See my example for "caption". Once I find "caption", I would prefer not to search for it again.
For the "Run" action, maybe have a list of common windows command line tools to choose from, like "cmd.exe".
And for the parameters section, have a list of available parameters to choose from for the selected command.
From my experience, I know where the commands are located on the system, and what the available parameters are, but for someone starting new, it would make it easier. And for us old timers whose memory is not so good any more.
When selecting "cmd.exe". "External File Options" opens. The description has some formatting issues. And the text is cutoff at the bottom. I figured out I needed to use the up/down arrows to see the entire description. Mouse wheel did not work. If there is more to see, make mouse wheel available, and have a vertical scrollbar to indicate there is more verbiage. And the description has some older branding, "NeoBook". And I am not sure about this option: "Don't do anything - let the compiler surprise me!". Living on the edge with that one.
I will be trying out this different way of creating windows administrative utilities. Such fun.
And waiting for NeoDBpro to be updated.

@jabuckley welcome to VisualNEO and our community!
First of all thank you for your comments and suggestions. We will check everyone.
But note that you can already set a command as favourite just by right clicking it and you can select All, favourites and recent commands to be listed (see attached image).
On the other hand a new NeoDBpro modern plugin is into our top priorities. I hope it will be ready in the coming weeks.
Kind regards.
Thank you @luishp
Yes, because it use to work for my program all the time. Here is an example (picture) and script I use to write the files. As you will see that [Page1] and [Page2] was written on line 7.
FileWrite "[PubDir]Hymns/[EditorHymnTitle].txt" "1" "[EditorHymnTitle]" FileWrite "[PubDir]Hymns/[EditorHymnTitle].txt" "2" "[EditorKey]" FileWrite "[PubDir]Hymns/[EditorHymnTitle].txt" "3" "[Page1]" FileWrite "[PubDir]Hymns/[EditorHymnTitle].txt" "4" "[Page2]" FileWrite "[PubDir]Hymns/[EditorHymnTitle].txt" "5" "[FontSize]" FileWrite "[PubDir]Hymns/[EditorHymnTitle].txt" "6" "[EditReminder]" FileWrite "[PubDir]Hymns/[EditorHymnTitle].txt" "7" "[Page1] [Page2]" FileWrite "[PubDir]Hymns/[EditorHymnTitle].txt" "8" "[BeatSelected]" FileWrite "[PubDir]Hymns/[EditorHymnTitle].txt" "9" "[SongSelect]" FileWrite "[PubDir]Hymns/[EditorHymnTitle].txt" "10" "[SongName]" FileWrite "[PubDir]Hymns/[EditorHymnTitle].txt" "11" "[VideoPath]" FileWrite "[PubDir]Hymns/[EditorHymnTitle].txt" "12" "[VideoName]" FileWrite "[PubDir]Hymns/[EditorHymnTitle].txt" "13" "[PlayFileResult]" FileWrite "[PubDir]Hymns/[EditorHymnTitle].txt" "14" "[AutoTimer]"
Thank you again
