New OBEX thoughts

Hi all,
I just had a look at the new OBEX, looks good :D

I do however have a couple of things ;)

Is it going to be just one OBEX? or one per device? Prop1, Prop2, etc as it may be a bit of a nightmare.

Will there be a search function?

Also, the headers All/Data Storage/Display/Fun/Human Input/Math/Motor Control/Protocol/Sensor/Signals/Speech/Sound/Tool are too long for the display and is drawn over the line beneath, ( even though the window is wider 2560 on my mac )

Cheers,
Jim.

    In the official OBEX thread, it has already been mentioned that it will have a search function, I guess they are still working on that feature.

    @Baggers,

    As risk of encouraging four different concurrent threads of discussion on obex, you'll be pleased to know a very nice search system will be implemented soon. :)
    I don't think it's active right now, but all of the object entries had to be checkmarked with "Propeller 1" as they were moved, so we've got the bases covered for Propeller 2.

    The window size is actually under discussion, so I suspect you'll see some adjustments there, but that's not my department. :)

    Good luck on OBEX V2.0 Getting everyone to work to a high standard of quality in OBEX V1.0 was bit like herding cats and I am sure this will be a big improvement.

    Well, a bit of a big improvement, anyway.

    My OBEX username is W9GFO. This seems to be a problem as I only have a "first" name in my profile and my name does not appear in the Author field. When I attempt to correct this in my profile I am unable to modify it - the last name remains blank with a red asterisk which I assume means that a last name is required.

    If someone could shift my first name into the last name position (leaving the first name blank) that would probably take care of the issue.

    It's probably a manifestation of the root cause discussed in post #14 of this thread: http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php/147593-New-Propeller-Object-Exchange
    This is being worked out right now. Those of you with a single word display name are not being displayed at the moment. This will be adjusted soon.

    Maybe I've missed out on something, but there seem to be little c language listed in the new OBEX.
    Is there another place for c drivers/code for the propeller?

    The search is active, and works with three letter searches like "SPI", "GPS" etc. Kudos!
