Open Form in Navigator-Window not working (6.0.1)

Classic Servoy

Version 6.0.1 / 1219

If the form (.frm) is “outside” of the actual Solution (other Solution), I can’t open with
Formeditor in Navigator-Window.

I’t just shows a new editor-tab for millisecounds, then the tab closes.
The Texteditor works fine with the The .frm and .js

Is this expected or a Bug ?

For a Workarround, do you think it’s a acceptable way:
Copy a field from a .frm outside the current solution into the actual-Solutions-Form.frm via cut/paste, for example:

(I know that I have to manipulate / delete the onFocusGainedMethodID: and the uuid:)

dataProviderID:"memo",
displayType:7,
editable:false,
fontType:"Verdana,0,11",
formIndex:9,
location:"74,231",
margin:"0,1,0,2",
name:"b_memo",
onActionMethodID:"-1",
onFocusGainedMethodID:"F257F75F-F08A-485C-8117-A70C09A5B4F3",
selectOnEnter:true,
size:"360,96",
tabSeq:8,
text:"Memo",
typeid:4,
uuid:"7BC96FA1-0992-4509-9E01-A19B04302459"
}

With the form editor you can only open forms from the active solution or it’s modules.

Copying the text as you suggested will work, but you have to be carefull not to corrupt your file.
You could also add the solution as a module first before copying.
Another option is to create template from it. Then you can easily use it from any solution.

Oh, thought I used it in earlier versions, but sorry… my mistake.

The thing with the Templates I have to check again, because in earlier versions I had

  • error-messages - missing (not copied) properties and so on.

Thank you

… after a view Minutes later…
The save to Templates and insert in a new form works perfectly with 6.0.1. All
Properties and Events are copied. :P Great
