Do You Use cfcFlexplorer?

A quick call to any users of my cfcFlexplorer application (if there are any out there). What would you like to see enhanced/improved/added/fixed with the application? What do you like? What don't you like?

If you're not a user, why not? Honestly this tool is very helpful (IMO). I use it quite a bit when I'm developing components at home. It is a very cool way to easily test methods without hacking up a test.cfm to create the component and invoke a method.

I have a few enhancements planned and in the works now that I have a workable Flex environment hacked together at home but I'd welcome any suggestions from anyone who has used it.

Might be a useful tool for playing with things, or as a learning exercise, but we tend to keep our 'hacked up' test templates around so we can retest the same things later.
Also we can have fairly complex setup task to execute (say call a login service to get a token to pass to the CFC we're running).
So I guess the answer is a list of features:
1) Save to runable file
2) Ability to chain several explored CFCs together in sequence.

I have been using it quite a bit lately. I find it very useful, especially when developing Flex apps: it makes it very easy for Flex coders to see the API available to them for remoting calls. On this subject, i would like to see introspection of cfproperty tags....it would make it much easier to see what value objects are composed of, and make it easier for Flex developers to code the actionscript objects that are bound to a particular CFC using the [RemoteClass] declaration.
