RE: CSS BOY - EDL to OPI Converter development progress?

["Zelazny, Michael Stanley" <zelazny@slac.stanford.edu>]

Does XiHui's EDM-to-BOY converter handle edm's menu mux in a reasonable way?  SLAC's LCLS Operations group have some edm displays with 5 menu mux buttons with a dozen or more options each.

We are looking at the feasibility of adopting CSS BOY as a replacement for EDM on our machine control systems at Diamond.
As we have a significant number of existing EDM panels, we are keen to automate the conversion from EDM to OPI.
It appears that some recent effort has been made in improving org.csstudio.opibuilder.converter, but there are naturally still some gaps.
We are interested to know if there have been any recent or proposed developments to this csstudio plugin class, or whether anyone is working on a similar converter for EDM to OPI (XML)?
Just before Xihui left SNS, he completed a rather substantial update of the EDM-to-BOY converter.
If your EDM displays contain hidden buttons to control the visibility of rectangles, writing to local PVs to update the content of embedded displays, all to simulate a tabbed display, that will _not_ be magically converted into a tabbed container. Otherwise it now handles pretty much every widget, see attached example of a converted SNS display.
I leave it as an exercise to the reader to determine which is which.
