variable readout?

Post by henkster » 30 Mar 2014 18:36

Wouldn't it be nice if one could have a readout of the variables anytime you would like to? I mean...now I have to notify in a popup or notification what value there is in one variable... instead maybe a different window in AM?

You can use "Speech Output". It accepts variables.

That is not what i meant. I mean that it would be nice to have seperate small window to get the readout for every variable you want...

  • Menu Manage\Global variables
  • Widget
  • Overlay widget

Do you mean something like a debug toolwindow/view of an IDE, that is shown while the flow is executed? I think the values of the local variables will change quite fast and will not provide enough time to see anything.
If you want to show the variables while building and testing the flow for the first few times, I recommend to use condition Debug Dialog. The condition will show all variables and the corresponding values available at this position of the flow and allows to conditionally continue to execute the flow on the true- or false-branch.

Great Martin! This is more or less what I wanted. Maybe it could be in a seperate window (not popup) which floats besides or on top/bottom from the flow builder window?
