[chandler-users] Re: [d/f] Assorted Usage Notes

[D John Anderson]

Hi Keith:

I think that the main reason that Show Toolbar | Sidebar, etc. was  
moved to tools was because of bugs -- see bug#9340 comments below.  
That may also be true of the Select View menu as I mentioned below,  
however, as I also point out, I recently fixed Select View bugs.

bug#9340 comments:

Chandler Version: 0.7.dev-r14442 **DEBUG build**
observed on Mac (Intel), Ubuntu

View >> Show/ Hide menu shows no check marks next to "mini-calendar" and
"detail view" even though they are visible.  This is inconsistent  
with other
visible items in this menu section which display check marks in the  
menu when
the item is visible.  Clicking these unchecked items raises an  
assertion error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/Users/dan/full/chandler/application/Application.py", line  
805, in
OnCommand
     assert (blockEvent != None or updateUIEvent)
AssertionError

Now that the menu items is moved off to "Tools", park this bug in the  
future to
come back and fix up the feature.
