Not a huge problem but it seems that in the front end (I have not tried the back end), when I create an item view and and do not specify a brick label, the brick alias is displayed as the label. If I don't specify the brick alias, the label is "from" which is the default name.

In the collection view, the behaviour is different. The brick alias is not specified as a label.

So, to not have a label for a form brick, I have to specify the label as a blank character. The work around is fine, but I think the behaviour in the collection view (to not use the alias as label) is more intuitive.

In facts it may be a bug.

It will be fixed for next upgrade.

I am sure you will see this when you look at it, but it seems that for a grid in a collection:

A brick alias seems to be ignored
A brick label is inserted as a comment <!-- BRICK: label goes here --> in tmpl/default.php (or whatever the layout is called) but the name of the file defaul_grip.php is not changed

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
