NetRemote Designer 2.0.0 BETA

[Solosid]

If you right click on Vista's desktop and select Personalize then go to Tasks|Adjust font size (DPI) - are you running at 96 dpi, 120 dpi or a custom value?

It is set to default 96dpi


cheers

I'm puzzled in that case - I can't see why it would be doing that at all. Is this happening to anyone else?

Build 10

Changes

• Deleting states and changing fonts would prevent the CCF from saving
• All numeric properties now have a spin control and should update the visuals immediately without losing focus from the property grid.
• Changing images for an element wouldn't adjust the size of the element
• Now uses a new version of the editor which should be blocking control characters from appearing, e.g. accidentally hitting Ctrl-S will no longer show the DEL pseudo-character.

Build 11 released

Changes

Assorted fixes for the property grid - hopefully that's the last of the bugs there!

Hi Rob, Sorry I don't have screen shots but these are "bugs" that haunt me when using NRD v2.0.0.11 ...

See if you can reproduce this: CUT a frame (i.e. right-click|cut) that has 'children' inside using the Right-Click mouse operation from the left-hand thing-a-ma-jig (sorry, I don't know what we should call that menu pick area). Now, when you "Paste" it into a new CCF page, the parent frame gets pasted but the children are gone!

And this: If you move a frame within a frame, the position coordinates don't reflect the actual position. In fact, if you click on the expanding position menu from the thing-a..., well, those coordinates are different from what you see moving the frame within a frame.

Also look at the text position menu. When I open and change to a "Right-Centered" text in one frame property menu and then change to another, the properties display shows the newly selected frame as Right-Centered even though it is really left-centered.

This last comment is not a bug, rather a suggestion: It would be nice if NRD remembered it's position and size within the windows display (i.e. restart of NRD would display previous size & position of NRD edit windows).

BTW, this is with NRD on a WinXP system (latest updates).

Are you pasting into the same CCF or a different one?

I'll try to fix all these for the next build.

Hmm.. it should be saving the window positions - I'll check into that.

Now, when you "Paste" it into a new CCF page, the parent frame gets pasted but the children are gone!

I can certainly reproduce this - what puzzles me is that if you do a copy instead of a cut then it works perfectly. This should be a fun one to track down since there's very little difference between the two operations. It's certainly not obvious what is going wrong here.

And this: If you move a frame within a frame, the position coordinates don't reflect the actual position.

You mean the tooltip coordinates here I assume? They are the coordinates relative to the top left of the CCF rather than the parent. I'll see if I can clarify that (maybe showing both the absolute and relative coordinates).

In fact, if you click on the expanding position menu from the thing-a..., well, those coordinates are different from what you see moving the frame within a frame.

Hmm... it really should be updating the coordinates in the property grid dynamically.

Also look at the text position menu. When I open and change to a "Right-Centered" text in one frame property menu and then change to another, the properties display shows the newly selected frame as Right-Centered even though it is really left-centered.

I can't see what you mean for this one - do you mean the Alignment property in the property grid?

This last comment is not a bug, rather a suggestion: It would be nice if NRD remembered it's position and size within the windows display (i.e. restart of NRD would display previous size & position of NRD edit windows).

BTW, this is with NRD on a WinXP system (latest updates).

Hmm.. I also can't reproduce this one, it seems to save the position and size here. I wouldn't have thought that this was windows version specific.

If the tooltip coordinates are at the upper left of the item you are moving, then yes, those update in real time as you move the object. However, in the property grid on the left side of NRD, the Dimensions | Location coordinates don't update until you de-select and re-select what you just moved.

I can't see what you mean for this one - do you mean the Alignment property in the property grid?

On my laptop, PrintScreen works. See attached image which should explain things. The alignment box says Middle, Left but the other box shows Middle, Right.

Hmm.. I also can't reproduce this one, it seems to save the position and size here. I wouldn't have thought that this was windows version specific.

On my laptop, also an XP machine, it DOES remember the size & position. My home machine has four monitors. NRD opens in one monitor and I drag it to two other monitors. This is what it doesn't remember. Could it have something to do with the four heads?

Ah, okay - I'm working on that one. I've also updated the tooltip to show both absolute and relative coordinates, and added another tooltip at the bottom right to show the size of the element. EDIT: Fixed in the next build

I see what you mean now, I'm sure that used to work when I first wrote it! Something must have broken, thanks, I'll fix it. EDIT: Fixed in next build.

That's very strange, works okay on a dual-headed setup, wonder why it isn't with four? Hmm, just discovered something - it does not like a window to span two monitors. Is that what you're doing when you say you drag it to two monitors? EDIT: Changed in next build - can now span two monitors.

Don't know if this is a bug or a problem with my install...
Using build 11, I can't add action's to buttons either on my previous created ccf, or a brand ccf

I can open the action designer tab, add the selection to the right hand pane, click ok but it dosen't save the actions for some reason?
