Root - Scripts

View and manage all script projects in the repository.

Remarks

Overview

The Grooper Root - Scripts component provides a centralized interface for viewing and managing all script projects attached to nodes throughout the Grooper repository. This tab enables users to audit, organize, and perform batch operations on script-enabled nodes, streamlining script maintenance and deployment across the environment.

Layout and Interactive Components

The interface includes the following elements:

• Script List:
  • Displays all nodes in the repository that have scripts attached.
  • Supports multi-selection and fixed-width display for efficient navigation and management.
  • Allows users to quickly identify which nodes are scriptable and access their script projects.
• Toolbar Actions:
  • The {compile} button initiates a compile operation for all selected nodes in the Script List, enabling batch compilation of scripts.

The list of scriptable nodes is dynamically generated by scanning the repository for nodes with attached script projects (C# or VB.NET). Only nodes that are writeable and have script files are included.

Usage Notes

• Use this tab to audit and manage all script projects in the repository from a single location.
• Select one or more nodes in the Script List and use the {compile} button to batch-compile their scripts.
• The list is automatically updated to reflect the current state of scriptable nodes in the repository.

Command Buttons

Button	Shortcut Key		Summary
start compile		►	Starts a compile operation on the selected scripts. The {compile} button initiates compilation for all selected script projects in the Script List. Use this action to batch-compile scripts for multiple nodes, streamlining deployment and maintenance. Only enabled when one or more nodes are selected in the Script List.

Child Controls

Name	Type		Summary
Script List	Node List	►	Displays a list of all nodes in the repository with scripts attached. The 'ScriptList' control presents all script-enabled nodes in the repository. Use this list to audit, select, and manage script projects across the entire repository. Selecting nodes in the list enables batch operations such as compiling scripts for multiple nodes at once. Double-clicking a script navigates to the script node.
