That's just what I remember from the few days I tried to work with
it. I'm not convinced that the current design can accomodate my
work style unless it can at least be revised to show a columnar
view rather than a linear one. What I would have preferred is an
update for the few glitches in the AB (mainly it doesn't always
refresh automatically, and those blinking tooltips are positively
aggressive) and give it a new coat of paint if you think it looks
too dated. Its plain text layout with clear checkmarks is much
easier for me to work with. I do like how you can change layering
order by dragging in the PB, that would be a nice addition to the
AB.
Have you tried Geoff Canyon’s revNavigator? It is the smallest and
cleanest solution yet. You get the best of both the AppBrowser and
the ProjectBrowser in one package. We design some pretty complex apps
over here. I like the fact that you can focus on a single card at a
time. Filter brings you down to all the controls of the same kind, or
the exact control you are looking for. Edit scripts, properties, and
other useful functionality with keyboard and clicks that you can
define. Drag and drop controls to reorder their layers. Support a
dark background or not, which is something I prefer.
I'm embarrassed to say I haven't. I looked at it a couple of times, but
the docs require some memorization and I didn't pursue it. If the docs
could be separated out into a separate window for reference I might have
an easier time learning it. It does look powerful and I've heard only
good reports about it.
If LC 8 really does eliminate the app browser, I'll probably move to
Navigator. The client who owns this big project tried to use PB for a
while and also dropped it quickly. She liked it at first because of the
thumbnails and draggable layering but ran into all the other limitations
soon after and dropped it in favor of the app browser. Her problems with
the PB were pretty much identical to mine.
