Arranging views in dflt.mvw

[Todd Lundstedt]

Frustrated with the Cloverleaf IDE not keeping threads in the same place in sub views when I re-arranged them in the all_threads view, I wrote this little ditty.  In the process, I learned something new about TCL lists (nesting).  You should have seen the code before I stumbled on that little tidbit!  😯  💡

While, I am sure Charlie could write this in a 10-character regexp command,  😉 and Russ will be critical of my not putting a comment on every line (hey, Russ! Hows it going?!  😛 ), I learned something, and even got it to work on Windows… go figure.

Tested on Cloverleaf 5.5, AIX 5.3.  Put the file in your path; I put it in $HCIROOTusercmds

arrangeView.tcl path/dflt.mvw path/newdflt.mvw

Tested on Cloverleaf 5.7, W2K3, from a command line

setroot

hcitcl patharrangeView.tcl pathdflt.mvw pathnewdflt.mvw

So, set your all_threads view the way you want, run this script, and the other views will follow all_threads’ lead.

Enjoy!
