Sense Professional with GUI Plugin Support
22 Jul, 2012
Sense Professional 1.15.0 is released today with new GUI Plugin support.
GUI Plugins will provide made-for-purpose "Editor Styles" comprising style definitions, associated graphical user components and underlying handling for specific document "templates".
A document "template" provides a well defined structural layout for a formal document such as a scholarly text, legal document or even a Sense document representation of a HTML or XML file.
All Sense documents and templates are assigned an "Editor Style" enabling dynamic Plugin identification and loading.
The graphical user components typically comprise one or more "Panes" that integrate directly into the Sense Edit Environment supplemented by additional or modified menus.
Integrated "Panes" may include, but not limited to, an "Editor" with made-for-purpose field entry. For example, the RSS Editor Plugin provides Editor, Control Panel and Feed panes where the Feed pane is a web-browser.
The introduction of the GUI Plugin support widens the scope for using Sense Documents as de facto databases where lookup, replication and general management of content may be carried out efficiently via purpose-made user interfaces.
The utilization of Sense Documents as de facto databases may provide the opportunity for Sense to be used for low-overhead low-cost Business Solutions .
Designed for Microsoft Operating Systems, both the new Sense version and RSS Editor Plugin are available for Free Download
