Link cell with external file (read/write)

[ponyatov]

Is Seco able to link cell with external (plain text) file ?

Playing with ANTLR I found that file cell will be good for view/edit external grammar file.

Hi,

No, Seco is not able to link a cell with an external file. However, the framework goes as follows: a cell holds a value, any value that one can persist in HGDB, which could be some new Java class representing an "external file" or "external URI" or something. Then it is possible with Seco to associate a "visual" with the type of the HGDB atom that a cell holds. And this can be used to implement an external file viewed/integrated inside Seco!
