IDE GUI questions

[J]

Hello all,

I finally got around to using the IDE, as the SC projects I was working on
are done.

Now that I've spent some time with it, I really like it - I think it will
really speed up my workflow, and the full screen mode suits my way of
working very well. All in all a great improvement I think.

I have a few questions about different IDE possibilities.

First of all, is it possible to make GUI elements that dock to the main
window on a tab, or that are added to the bottom bar of the IDE? I'm
interested in adding some buttons that integrate with the IDE.

Secondly, when bringing old code into the IDE by loading in an RTF (which
gets converted), is it possible to colourise the text? I just shows up as
one colour, and I can't figure out how to re-colourise it...

Finally, is it possible to drag documents from the documents docklet into
open tabs? It would be nice to be able to have a library of code snippets
that I could easily drag into open projects.

Best,

Jeremy

Regarding syntax colorizing, I think you just need to save your RTF files
with the extension .scd instead.
I don't know the answers for the other two questions.

Thank you Bruno, I'll give that a try - it also seems to work to open the
.rtf in a generic text editor and copy paste it in to the IDE
