[Tip]Pyui files, view as a string
-
I am not sure if this was always the case or not (I have a feeling it wasn't) But at least in 1.6 if you have a .pyui file and rename it to a .py file, you see the string/dict representation in the editor. If you rename it back it to a .pyui file, works as expected.
Handy to know -
pyui files have always been plain JSON files. You can read them as any text files,
open('myui.pyui').read(). It is the case in 1.5 as well. -
@ywangd, sure. I just didn't think you could rename a existing .pyui file to .py before and have it show up in the editor correct.could be wrong, but it's a time saver
-
Yep, that's new in 1.6 (unless you were using a script to rename the file). Btw, you get slightly better syntax highlighting if you use .json instead of .py as the file extension.

@omz, thanks. Nice to know. Is a nice feature. I know a small thing, but makes life easier
