That is a really silly problem which meant that I had to set 12 custom props 4 times before I worked out how to do something that should be rather more intuitive. Richmond. On 17/7/2018 5:51 pm, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode wrote: You may be referring to the issue when setting the value of a

Having worked with LiveCode 8 extensively now I can say that the Property palette is far far more awkward to use thatn the LiveCode 7 one, and I wish there were an easy way to revert to that property palette. Richmond. On 17/7/2018 1:59 pm, Curry Kenworthy via use-livecode wrote: Bob: > I

You may be referring to the issue when setting the value of a custom prop, if you click away, like to another stack or tool after editing in the value field, the prop will not retain the value you entered. Also clicking on another property will not retain the value. You have to tab out or click

Tom, so you are also living with this? In LC 8.1.10 it´s even not possible to maximize the height of the Property Inspector. And the value field also displays only 3 lines of text. I can´t believe that this was not noticed by one of the LC Team. Are they not using the PI? I noticed it already

And since we are talking about it some more, open a property inspector pallet. Expand the pallet size so that the property pane gross. Now resize again only this time smaller. The property pane does NOT shrink with the pallet, but instead introduces scroll bars. That is a bit irritating too. I

Well since we are talking about it, I find that when I create a new property, or a new element in an existing property, having th click on the property, then on the name of the property is annoying. The same thing holds true for the property inspector and datagrids. You have to add a column,

The PI has a lot of issues in 9.0 this is one of the more annoying ones. I really should record a video and demonstrate them all to the team. not great for new users. I would say its a bug. a workaround would be sending messages to the property inspector. and try to automate the resizing. On

Hi, is there a way to resize the value field for custom properties in the Property Inspector? It just shows 3 lines. I think that is not enough, especially if one wants to store larger text files there. Older versions of LC allowed to resize that field if i remember right. Why was that
