[Bug 579324] Re: Memory/IO Ports Grid Inspector

 

I have had an opportunity to test this new feature due to the prerelease
binaries that onkar has provided, and it's working nicely so far.

I would however suggest to make it more obvious that the data can also
be edited - this is currently not very intuitive, maybe just changing
the color of the values and displaying a tooltip "double click to edit
this value" would be more intuitive?

Alternatively, show such a help string at the top of the list.

Also, it would probably make sense to make the list readonly while the
program is not executed: at the moment, it is possible to change memory
values which would be automatically overwritten once the program is run.

Bug description:
I've been using another 8085 simulator under Windows, and it includes a handy feature, it's a grid that shows memory address, io ports, and its values. I've included some screenshots. gnusim8085 includes a data inspector, but for using it you need to set variable names, and other couple of stuff.

I'll give it a try to develop somthing like that, but I'm not really good with GTK programming. I've just found this other project, but it seems to be dead, there is no code, or releases, but the screenshot includes something similar to what I mean. It also shows something related to this feature request http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=820508&group_id=86462&atid=579702
