Several improvements and enhancements have been made to Domino Designer to make it even easier to use. Key improvements since the initial release are detailed below.

Release 5.0.1

Usability:

• Launching Domino Global Workbench (DGW) from Designer is now an option.
• Right mouse click on a window tab in the client gives a new option to "Open this database in the Designer".
• Ability to bookmark a database in the open database dialog of the Designer is included.
• A better message is given when saving a design element before using Preview in Web Browser.
• Now go-to-client, go-to-DGW, go-to-admin buttons are available.
• A double-click on a database opens the database properties infobox.
• The bookmark folder drop down menu (upper left button) now has "Create New Folder" as found on the client.
• Expanded size of drop down box in the Reference tab of the Programmer's pane.
• In the Borders combobox of a field infobox, added words for "none" choice to avoid confusion.
• Added a "Do not display this message again" check box to the "Can't Debug @Dialog Box ..." message box.
• When adding a new shared image to an existing list, the list is scrolled and the new addition is displayed as the selected item. This avoids confusing the user into thinking the image was not added because it appears somewhere else in the list.
• When navigating from field to field in the Programming pane, Designer continues to display the same event the user initially selected rather than switching to the first populated event after each field change.
• In the Find dialog box of the IDE, Designer lists the last few values searched so they can be selected rather re-entered.
• Allow the Formula Window dialog box to be a resizable window.
• The default navigator pane will display only the preferred language rather than all available languages.
• Removed Design menu option when on the Designer Welcome page to avoid the accidental creation of design elements in bookmarks.nsf.


Designer options
• In a Hotspot Button infobox, provide width options of "Fit-to-Content" and "Fixed Width".
• Allow forms, pages, and documents to have "System" as a background color option.
