Electron application Object Browser shows only generic "Panel" objects in tree

Thanks for the quick reply.  Yes, all requirements met.  Please see attached for an example of my object tree.  TC finds the objects through Object Spy (red-highlights individual objects).  But as mentioned, all (almost all) are id'd as Panel objects.  Very limiting for identification and useful methods/functions.

    OK...update.  It looks like we're using an ancient version of Electron - 1.6.  Good grief.  I see TC starts support at 1.8.2.  LOL.  Maybe that's it.
