Re: [ANN] ObjectFormats plugin
This would be incredibly useful to me if it worked with cards and groups as well. I make extensive use of properties to store things like datagrid column formatting and related tables for a form.

(The plugin only works for buttons and fields, at least for now.) After naming your format, a number of properties of the selected control will be stored and the format will appear in the list in the main field. Button formats will be indicated with a little oval button icon and field formats will be indicated with a square field icon. Thereafter, if you select a button or a field in any stack and then click on a format in the list, all the stored properties of that format will be applied at once to the selected control. Certain properties will not be stored or changed, for obvious reasons: the name, label, altID, rect, behavior, script, layer, text, icon, etc., of controls will remain untouched, since they are either unique for each control or should otherwise be handled individually. Only properties relevant to the general appearance and functioning of the button or field will be set, like the button or field style, text appearance, border width, margins, blending, locktext, tabstops, colors, autohilite, showborder, etc, where applicable. After you apply a format to an object, the undo button will appear at top right. If you regret your reformatting of the object, click the undo button and the previous properties of the selected object will be restored. Note that only the most recent reformatting operation can be undone. Option-click on the save format button to examine the relevant properties of the selected object (without saving them). Option-click on a line in the format list to see the stored properties of that format (without applying them). Shift-click on a format in the list to delete it from the plugin. Command-click on a format to change its name.

Re: [ANN] ObjectFormats plugin
Well, no current plans to expand in that direction. The way the plugin works now is it just changes the properties of an existing selected button or field. For it to replicate cards or groups It would have to be able to create a bunch of objects then set their properties. The internal storage of the properties would have to be revamped, and that would take some doing. I won't rule it out for the future but it's not on the horizon for today. Maybe if there is enough demand BTW, I have just upgraded it to give the user the option of storing the script and/or the rect of a button or field in addition to properties it saved originally.
