Hi Everyone,

I wish you could tell what environment/domain that the file you're working in is from.

I have heard of developers working on a file that they thought was from a Development Environment only to find out they were actually in Production. Ouch.

It would be nice if you could set the background color based on the environment of have the eda/app path of the file in the Header of the edit screen like the explorer does.

There you go, anyone agree?

I use Dev Studio v7.6.8 and can see the Environment of the file I'm editing in the text editor or the GUI tool...

Francis,

Where does that information display?

In the Dev Studio window title bar:



(Let me know if the screenshot does not display here)

In the menubar select Window.
Choose Options...
Go to the rightmost tab, called Title Format.
Check radio button IBFS path (Long name).
Done ...

Don, unable to see Francis/GamP suggestion? Put a global in your profile identifying it as development, and add a -type referencing that && at the start of your fex. But you should be able to detect it from Dev Studio. Ira

GamP, that works.

It's back to the documentation for me. I know it's in there somewhere but finding the magic word(s) search can be difficult.

Thanks for the tip and to everyone else,

BTW I renamed my production environment;
"_____P R O D U C T I O N_____".

It's that 'sticks out like a sore thumb' look that I like.

Thanks again.
