  Jeff,

  Agreed, kind of :) Would it make sense to provide a sample transformation file as a part of Maverick then? It would definitely help these people who are not yet familiar with xsl transformations... I am not xsl expert by any means so if somebody has a clean and documented transformation that does this, please donate it to maverick :)

    I'm -1 on changing this behavior.  It's not that much more typing.  If you really want to minimize the config file, the transformation facility offers a much more elegant solution.

    But yes, i think it would make sense to modify view lookup code to search from amongst global view definitions as well. Would it break anything?



    with best wishes,

    Taavi



      if you want behavior where the global views are referenced by all commands, you can use a transformation on maverick.xml. if specified, maverick will run maverick.xml through an xsl before loading it. This xsl could easily copy all global views for you under each command. actually--this has come up so often on this list that someone may have already written an xsl to do this.
