Ji Geoff, I am responding to you 7.3rc1 and this is probably true about the other releases too. I noticed that if I open a group in a New Navigator window, the first Navigator window has lost control over the group that precipitated it. The new Navigator Window Group items don't respond to any items that are clicked or highlighted. Also, if I open a group for editing, the Navigator window does not respond to any items that are clicked or highlighted in the Group Edit window. I can live with this now that I know about this behavior, but I don't know if anyone has pointed this out to you.
Sincerely, Clarence Martin Email: chi...@themartinz.com Cell: 626 696-5561 -----Original Message----- From: use-livecode <use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com> On Behalf Of Geoff Canyon via use-livecode Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2019 10:59 PM To: How to use LiveCode <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> Cc: Geoff Canyon <gcan...@gmail.com> Subject: Navigator 7.2rc1 is available As usual, you can get Navigator here <https://www.dropbox.com/s/kz3zqi4botzglgq/navigator.zip?dl=1>. Or grab it from GitHub <https://github.com/gcanyon/navigator>. For details read the release notes <https://github.com/gcanyon/navigator/releases/tag/v7.2rc1>, but briefly this: -- fixes the color sets being borked by an earlier release. -- significantly improves the relayering code -- again. -- -- It was a minor thing, but it should now be possible to have a group be the topmost object, and drag a control below it in Navigator's list, and have the control *not* placed into the group, which is now consistent with the behavior in any other circumstance. -- -- Also, there were circumstances where Navigator would start editing a group to place a control into the group, and then fail, leaving the group in edit mode. This should now be fixed. -- -- Finally, the relayering code has again been simplified. Details below if anyone is curious -- it's weird. If you find any bugs, file them here <https://github.com/gcanyon/navigator/issues>. ---------------------------------------------------- To achieve uniform behavior with the simplest code, here are (most of) the relayering steps in pseudo LC: set relayergroupedcontrols to true set layer to 1 -- this gets the control out of any groups it is in set relayergroupedcontrols to false set layer to 9999999 -- the control is now at the highest level if target is group then set relayergroupedcontrols to true set the layer to 1 + the layer of the target group -- the control is now in the group set relayergroupedcontrols to false start editing group set layer to 9999999 -- the control is now at the highest level of the group end if if targetobject is not empty -- the object to place the control just under -- if empty, the control should remain at the top then set the layer to the layer of the targetobject -- works whether editing a group or not if target is group then stop editing group -- need to make sure to use a "background" reference This doesn't include the logic for using the option key to move/copy if the control is from another card, or duplicate/move if from the same card. Also important to use simple references that don't include the full hierarchy of groups, since that will fail while editing a group. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
