Bouml reference manual - Fedora Project Packages GIT repositories

file:///C:/uml/BOUML/bouml_3.0/doc/TOUT.html14 of 378 07/10/2007 15:55The bold font is used when an item is modifiable, an item is read-only when you do not have the write permission for the file(s)supporting it (see Project files). The system items supporting of the plug-out's API (for instance UmlBaseClass) are also read-only, thishelp you to not modify them to have a chance to remain compatible with the future versions.When you create a new item, this last is placed at the end of the items of the same container, using the left button of the mouse as for adrag&drop it is possible to move an item to place it in an other container (except for the relations) or to change the items order. The drag& drop from the browser to an opened diagram is also possible when it is legal. When you drag an item it1 on a non-container item it2,it1 will be placed just after it2 at the same level. When you drag an item it1 on a container item it2 which may contain it1, it1 will be thefirst it2's children, in case it1 may be moved in it2 or after it2, Bouml ask you to choose.Multiple selection is not allowed in the browser using the classical way, I consider that it is to simple to loose a multiple selection througha wrong mouse click. I replace classical multiple selection with the possibility to mark browser items through the menu appearing on aright mouse click, or through a control left mouse click. Marked items are written on a red background, and may be moved or duplica(under condition) :On the example above at the menu appearing on the use case view propose to mark it, to move the marked items into it, to move themarked items after it (in this case only the order of the items is modified) or to duplicate the marked items into it. The menu is codependent, for a marked item it proposes to unmark the item, or to unmark all the marked items, and for instance for a component view itjust proposes to mark it because the two marked diagrams cannot be placed into the component view or after (the marked diagrams cannotbe placed into the package containing the component view).When you remove an item from the model, the icon contains a red cross (for instance ), note that a deleted item is never saved whenyou save your project, but it may be undeleted with or without its children until you close the project. Sometimes it is not possible todelete an items because this one contains read-only items or is referenced by a read-only relation.A double mouse click on an item allows to edit it except when the item have an associated diagram, in this case the diagram is showed.The other mouse buttons show a menu depending on the item kind.control s is a shortcut to save the projectcontrol d and suppr are a shortcut to delete the selected itemPackageA Package (may be the project itself) is first something like a directory and may contain :packagesuse case views
