Preferences - Workbench

Use this dialog window to specify whether the editor is opened automatically each time you add a new resource to your workspace.

The script editor can start automatically, for example:

  • When you use the Get command in the Component Explorer view to add a component to your workspace.
  • When you use the Open Declaration (source) command in the script editor to view detailed information on a function that is called in your source code and not present in your workspace.
  • During debugging, when you step into a function that is called in your source code, but not already present in your workspace.
Automatically open the editor for a new resource
Use this field to specify whether the corresponding editor is opened automatically for a new resource.

This table shows the available options:

Always The editor starts automatically each time you add a component to your workspace.
Never The editor does not start automatically when you add a component to your workspace.
Prompt

When you add a component to your workspace, the following question is displayed:

"Open editor for the new software component?"

Click Yes or No to answer the question.

Optionally, click the Remember my decision check box in the question window. Depending on your answer to the question, this will change the Automatically open the editor for a new resource preference setting to "Always" or "Never".

The default option is Prompt.

Automatically check components after a change
If this check box is selected, LN Studio automatically verifies software components each time a component is saved.

If this check box is cleared, components are not verified automatically. You must start the verification manually through the Verify Component command in the shortcut menu in the Activity Explorer view.

For details, see "Verifying software components" in the Infor LN Studio Application Development Guide.
