Version 2.0.0


2022/07/06

  • Improvements

    • The Command Update Translation Files (xliff, AL) has been added. Via this command the xliff files in the translation folder of an AL Extension can be created or updated. The command is comparable to the command AL: Generate Xliff files (AL Tools) of the extension AL Language Tools.

      Note

      Using the AL Language Tools extension is not recommended as there are some errors and the formatting is not 100% like Microsoft formatting.
      For more information, see Write Help, Suggest Help Text, Suggest Help Text from AL File.
    • The Suggest DE Help Text from AL File command has been removed. Suggest Help Text from AL File now determines the help text based on the folder where the help file is located. In addition, Snippets for AL have been added, which make it easier to specify the additional language layers as comments in the AL objects. For more information, see Write Help, Suggest Help Text, Suggest Help Text from AL File.
    • The commands Check for missing Help Topics and Create missing Help Topics have been completely revised. Both commands are now part of the newly added NCHB Ghostwriter. With the NCHB Ghostwriter, a suggestion for a complete online help or for newly added AL objects can be created within a very short time. For more information, see Write Help, Suggest Help Text, Ghostwriter.
    • The topic Display Screen/Print has been added to the help. For more information, see Write Help, Extended, Display Screen/Print.
