I don’t know if you’ve seen my thread from last year, where I tried to lobby Xojo to focus on the Mac. There’s several posts in that thread where I highlight a great deal of things where Xojo really needs to improve.
Rumors suggest that a couple of the items are coming, but some of the things I mentioned have had feature requests for over a decade.
Perhaps you could add a post to the thread requesting Searchfield in toolbar functionality?
I agree with you, the more Xojo falls behind, the less valuable it can feel.
