Moving around macros, commands and eventstrings

[quixote]

I noticed that moving around the nodes is very awkward and involves more work to get things in the correct order than necessary.

Is there any chance this could be fixed? I liked the way ALT could be used in Girder 3.3, but perhaps you could go even further and make it totally intuitive.
Thanks for your consideration.

Actually I like the way it works now, this is much more intuitive, you can see exactly where the new node is going to be depending on how the line is drawn between node. This one you'll just gotta get used to. :-)

Can you please explain it to me? I think that I am definately missing something. I have found that in order to change the order of the commands in the macro, I have to drag each one to the name of the macro to move it to the bottom of the list. This gets frustrating when I'm trying to cycle them in the correct order, especially if I'm working with a large group of commands and I can't decide which order best suits my needs..

[Ron]

That would be very annoying indeed :-)

While dragging try dragging not over the name of the other node but to the left or right of it! You'll see that the tree draws a line wit arrows at the end pointing up or down.... Try it!

:lol: Ah, ok! I see now. I hadn't moved the cursor off to the side. (I was trying to put the cursor between the names and I had the "NO" symbol. Oops! Sorry about that. It's perfect.

Also, please don't forget about considering the collapse node and collapse all. Thanks.

I am unable to drag an event from one action to another, it always clicks and selects instead of dragging.

[Ron]

Can you explain that a little more? 'It clicks' ? What exactly do you do?

[kelmk]

If I click and hold down the button to drag an event to another action it doesn't work. it just keeps selecting watever I drag over on the way. It's like selecting multiple items in explorer by clicking beside a file and dragging over them to select multiple files. This is what happens instead of an action moving.

[Ron]

Make sure you actually click on the name, not the icon or whitespace.

I don't know what is was but it's working now.
