David,

I am having trouble with the concept of selecting something without the user touching it. We could, of course, make a preference for this behavior.

Best,

Jerry

P.S. I hope you get treatment for that virus, too.

Recent version changed this right - kindo of liked it myself - now I'm still stuck as i cant....


1. The TITLE of Constellation's window has the full name of the object you're editing. 2. The TAB that is dedicated to that object has the name of the object
3. The PREVIEW (or copy) of the object is shown

We figured after all that, it wasn't necessary to select the object during no-click inspection and risk the user forgetting that the object WAS selected.

Hope that helps.


Not really - you see I have an object selector / browser like yours just not as pretty :) I use it to "indicate an object" and then I can create other tools which manipulate the object in some way.

So for a clear example (thinking of writing a viral marketing program for you):

    1) I create a stack with one button and one field

2) I "select" the "field in my new stack" in constellation property or even script editor - the tab is open

3) I write a script which references the selected object - ideally with a line like:

on mouseUp
        put the selected_ ConstellationObject into someObject
        set the script of someObject to "Jerry Daniels is cool!"
end mouseUp
