New Contribution: window-title-buttons.lisp

[Alan Ruttenberg]

This extension lets you add little buttons to the title bar. As a useful example, I add two buttons to listeners and fred windows. In both cases one of the buttons pops up a menu of definitions in the buffer(as in MCL's list-definitions). Selecting one has fred jump to that definition. In the listener, the second buttons pops up the command history of the listener. Selecting the item drops that command into the listener at the insertion point. In a fred buffer the second button pops up a list of the other files in the same directory as the file. Selecting one edits that file. Control-clicking on the button opens the file's directory in the finder, then switches to the finder. This file is distributed as a stuffed binhexed file in order to preserve its resource fork which contains the example icons.

You can get the file from my tools page: http://alanr.www.media.mit.edu/people/alanr/dev+.html.
The file is http://alanr.www.media.mit.edu/people/alanr/dev+-7-9-98/window-title-buttons.sit.hqx
I'll also uploaded it to the contrib incoming folder. Once transferred to the contrib directory, its URL will be: ftp://digitool.com//pub/mcl/contrib/window-title-buttons.sit.hqx
