Process container - named processes
« on: 2017 April 16 22:22:57 »
When I drop a named process icon into a process container, the custom name goes away and I'm left with the generic process name. Is there a setting somewhere to prevent that?

If I could use my custom process names in the container, it would be MUCH more useful for organizing and saving common processes.

While you can't directly change the 'Proc ID' in the container as that refers to the actual module being called you can add a description to each line in the container. Click on the show extension arrows and you will see 'Edit Description'. I just copy the name of the icon to the description field.

Thanks Mike

Sure would be nice if there was just a column for the custom name, or the Proc ID showed it. I usually have the code window closed, as I don't normally need to see it.
