Hi friends,
A new release of Subform is available:
OS X: Subform-4145.0.0+7b292c4.dmg
Windows: Subform Setup 4145.0.0+7b292c4.exe
Since the last release:
Enhancements
You can now move elements much more freely by dragging them between parents in the canvas and tree.
Check out the video below for a quick overview:
And download the demo files from the video to play around with.
Note that spacing changes depend on how you move an element:
-
When dropping on the canvas, the element will be positioned at the location (grid cell, stack order, or self-directed position) where you drop it.
-
When dropping into the tree, the original layout settings are preserved.
(Don’t worry if this doesn’t make sense right now — we’ll explain further in upcoming videos. Edit: Ryan’s posted a how-to video covering this topic: Size, spacing, and positioning when moving between layout types…)
Other enhancements:
-
We’ve styled the text popup and fixed some focus issues — the text will be fully selected and the cursor focused in the edit field as soon as the popup appears.
-
When saving on OS X, you can now press “Command+D” to choose “Don’t Save”.
Changes
-
Meaningless numbers have been removed from the tree labels.
-
The “children layout” swatch is now always shown, even if the element has no children. (We found it annoying to have to add a child before we could mess with grid settings.)
-
The ability to drop elements in-between tree rows has been removed. We’re rethinking how tree order should relate to z-index, and the ability to drop in-between tree rows will be introduced again once we’ve thought it all through. See this topic and this topic for discussion.
