Changing the defaults of a datagrid

[zryip theSlug]

Matthias,

The window opened by the 3 dots button should float over the DGH
palette window and wait for your click. Is DGH installed in your
plugin folder?

You have to click on the "Add in Chamber" button to have the "Clone"
buttons enabled when selecting another datagrid.

Will also create a new lesson for using this feature.

The cloning feature was announced with DGH 1.2.0 on this list, in a
youtube video, on my website, in the version notes inside the DGH
documentation and was quickly described in a revUp newsletter.

I do not know the Strategy to inform the DGH users about what was
added in the plugin, but I do not think we have hidden features in
DGH. At last the features I have unlocked so far... Some topics (such
as the database topic) are hidden because I'm not satisfied by the
result, but this is not the subject.

May the "Mimetism" word is not appropriated for describing the
feature? I'm open to suggestions for changing the topic name. We are
not cloning exactly the datagrid. We are applying the same properties
from a datagrid to another, so the target datagrid is someway,
"mimicking" the source datagrid.

Mimetism is a synonym for mimicry.



Best Regards,
