This documentation is for an earlier version of the App Inspector. For the version 5 App Inspector see here.

The App Inspector

The App Inspector is your best friend during development as it provides a complete overview of your App.

It is organized into Tabs. Each Tab is relevant to a particular workspace. You can double click a Tab to detach it into its own floating window.

Clicking the small icon on the far right of the App Inspector title bar will detach it into its own floating window.

Double clicking the window title bar when it is floating will attach it back into place.

The Library Files Tab

The Library Files Tab contains a file list pertaining to the Library Workspace.

The panel lists filenames by category. Where there are files for a particular category, an arrow is displayed to the left of the category name and it can be clicked to expand and collapse the category (or double-click the category name).

When a filename is double-clicked, the file is opened in the Script Editor and the Library Workspace is automatically selected.
