Bits that make up JSE

JSE is made up of the following

• 1 JSE Maya Manager, then followed by...
  • one or more JSEs, each main window containing...
    • 1 master pane layout, which like a pane layout will hold either...
      • a pane, or
      • a pane layout, which will hold either...

        • a child pane, or

        • a child pane layout,

          which may contain many more and more nested pane layouts

Let's break down what I mean by each.

JSE Maya Manager

Rule

• Only 1 permitted per each Maya session, at any time

Purpose: Manage the multiple JSEs

• Syncronise all script editors contents
• Loading saved JSE windows when JSE is launched, if any
• Saving JSE windows when Maya shuts down
• Contain and edit global default settings for all JSE should they need to reset their settings

JSE

Rules

• Contain only 1 master pane layout
• Can only be destroyed if user chooses to:
  • Close the one and only remaining pane that is the sole child of the master pane layout, or
  • Destroy the JSE through multiple confirmation messages/options

Purpose: Give the user a banging script editor brah!
