Any chance this could be improved in the GUI somehow?
The improvement is called [array define] ;-) [table] is legacy and shouldn't be used in new projects.
Thanks Christof! Still I wonder about the reasons for the different behavior described in my last post.
Generally, use a graphical array if you need the array to be visible, otherwise use [array define]. The latter still allows you to look at the data (e.g. for debugging purposes), but the properties menu is completely disabled.
Indeed, [array define] even throws an error message "array: no method for 'done-popup'" when one tries to access the enabled Properties entry in its context menu.
So can I set all the options from [table's] properties for [array define] as well? Drawing as bezier curves etc?
Also, contrary to [table], you can save the content with the "-k" flag.
Could the "save table" flag of tables be disabled/made invisible as well?
best, P
