Can I still build editor tools with sidebars or popovers?
-
Trying to create a regex find/replace tool for the editor Looked at editmenu for staters, but when execute, it errors with
self.present('sidebar')ValueError: View is already being presented or animation is in progress
It this no longer possible in ios 10 pythonista?

Yes, sidebar was removed in 2.0/3.0.
Popover still works, but sidebar and menubar were removed.With objc, we do now have a lot more flexibility, and can basically hack the interface in new ways.
i created a simple replacement for sidebar:

@JonB , I like the add button to menu script. I don't remember ever seeing this one.
With beta 301010, it works when run under 2.7, but not as 3.5. The
tb=get_toolbar(main_view) function is returning None. Would be great to have a update if it's a simple fix -
Or You can use panel in "sidebar" mode. See the discussions here.
