Shortcuts to ant targets are handy, but going through the whole wizard to create them is a pain. The wizard doesn't remember which script you last created a shortcut to, so you have to dig down each time. I'm presently trying to create shortcuts to targets in six different scripts and it's taking forever. How about putting a "Create Shortcut" action in the Tools menu for Ant targets, so it would jump straight to the wizard and you would just have to check which types of shortcuts you want?
Sounds like a good idea, thanks.
Got a working patch. Also overhauled the GUI of the wizard generally: - no more "template" in the New Files wizard - no more "select target" panel; that is implicit in the target you clicked on - no more "file name of shortcut" (it is picked for you) - "display name" is now explained properly as "menu item text" or "toolbar button text", in the panel that lets you choose those - menu & toolbar panels now use a simple list of available choices, rather than a tree - Customize Generated Shortcut panel is now at the end - no more "Add to Filesystems" or "Add to Project" or whatever (this actually was deleted a while back) All in all, should be more intuitive, quicker to use, more discoverable. Comments welcome. Marking as RELNOTE just in case some 3.x users were still expecting to find it in the New wizard.
