Xray interface updates

John,

 

Using the new local exe.

 

A:

I've checked the new feature with axis guides&nbsp;it could reveal to be handy ;)

As far as I understand it's experimental isn'it? I find that the check box isn't very natural to use to choose between x and y, two radio buttons or a select box may be more natural (yes I know it takes more place ;) )....&nbsp;

A few ideas about this:

- Maybe if you use a select box you can add further features without taking more room.

- Maybe: x,y,x and y (cross guides), quad border (place a guide to the top right bottom and left at the choosen distance), center (based on the mc center).&nbsp;

- What about modifiing the order of things?&nbsp;The following sequence&nbsp;seems to me more natural: choose the guide type (x,y,..), choose color, type in the location, add the guide.

- What about an additional boolean button: show/hide all guides?

 

More generally speaking, I first though that this new guides menu was to put guides into the property inspector grid ;) Yes I know it doesn't make any sense, I should maybe go to sleep now ;)  However this could be due to the fact that this is very close to the property inspector grid, so I made a logical link between both, when their nature&nbsp;are quite different. Why not add a new tab after output and property inspector, named: on stage tools or on stage manipulations?

 

B:

Feature request: When I rollover on the property inspector over a value which is a sub-object is it possible that the tooltip shows the content of this object.

 

For example:

Property&nbsp; &nbsp;   ;  | &nbsp; &nbsp;   ; Value&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;   ;  | &nbsp; &nbsp;   ; Type

myArray&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;   ; &nbsp;  [object Object]&nbsp; &nbsp;   ; &nbsp; &nbsp;  Array

 

Rollover on Value ; [object Object]&nbsp; would display on the tooltip [valueA,valueB,valueC].

 

A kind of shortcut to avoid having to go inside then to go back.

 

 

C:

Why the < Go back button is at this place? Why not put this next to Property inspector (on the light gray frame) or at its right? It seems to me more logical, or maybe I'm mistaken? Is it used for other panels, output or help?&nbsp;

Why not add a more advanced navigation bar  prev, parent, prev parent child next parent&nbsp;child etc....?

 

 

Waouw I weren't so concise on this one.....

Sorry for that.

Have a good day!

 

 

Best regards.
