Description Martin Entlicher 2003-07-24 14:10:25 UTC 
If variables and commands editors would not be
modal, that will greatly improve the process of
profiles development.

Comment 1 _ tboudreau 2003-08-24 16:40:41 UTC 
Technically this could be done by returning a Window/Dialog
instead of Component for the property editor (assuming this
uses property editors).  As former owner of the property
sheet, I strongly discourage doing this.

Perhaps some custom UI for profile development would be
a better choice.  Maybe include some UI for testing the
result on a real filesystem, or at least test running
commands and showing what the command-line text would be.
