Beta 3 of TFM, a tool for searching and viewing documentation and source code is now available at:
<
http://www.ClassicalSoftwareInc.com/>
Changes with this version: relevancy searching
related pages popup, "Reveal in Finder", etc
preliminary help documentation
speed ups, bug fixes
----------- What is TFM ? -------------
Key features include: fast searching
display of HTML & source code
understanding ObjC inheritance
Screen shots are here:
http://www.ClassicalSoftwareInc.com/TFM-index.html
What does it do? Drop a folder (like "/System/Library/Frameworks" or "/Developer/Examples") on a new document and it provides:
Full-text index of files, including parsing HTML & C/ObjC to extract
inheritance, naming and sectional information.
Searching with simple "Find Next" and larger "Find All".
Supports ^, $, |, &, () meta-characters.
Recognizes and groups related files together (NSColorWell.h goes with
NSColorWell.html, Release Notes are at the top of "AppKit", etc).
Provides inheritance hierarchy view in one place (e.g. NSColorWell
inherits from NSControl, etc.). This lists all methods in a class
and it's superclasses. (Type "draw" in the filter, for example,
for: "What drawing methods can I send to an NSColorWell object?")
Automatically builds a popup menu of page sections providing a quick
overview and the ability to easily jump around.
Shows pages with their "display name"
so you see: Model Objects Represent Data and Basic Behaviors
not: AppDesign.2.html
