Thanks Jacque, this is a good list. > On 1 Dec 2015, at 7:41 am, J. Landman Gay <jac...@hyperactivesw.com> wrote: > > 1. Horizontal/column view so it is easy to drill down from stack to card to > object, and see their relationships to everything else. Basically I want > Finder column view.
Yes, I think this would be helpful too. A list view could probably also be implemented along with something like cover flow as an option to use instead of the thumbnails. > 2. I need to see card numbers and object layer numbers. Would it be sufficient to have something like <number>. <name> instead of just <name>? Perhaps there might be a way in preferences to specify an object descriptor to use??? This would be a fairly lightweight change I think. Trying to add proper columns would be much more work. > 3. I need to see IDs for all cards and objects. Do you need to see IDs all the time or just sometimes? What do you need them for? the tooltip gives you the long ID in LC 8. Would it be helpful to have a Copy Object Reference > Short ID … Long Name in the contextual menu? What about drag and drop object references to the script editor or drag an image off the browser and drop on a button and it sets the icon and IDs into the property inspector? All fairly easy fixes but you need to detail what you are using the ID for to see if they resolve the issue. > 4.

Perhaps a preference whether clicking on the flipper of a group selects the object and actions from the contextual menu shouldn’t select the object. You should need to click on the name to select the object and open the stack. I expect this isn’t all that tricky a change either. > > I'll probably think of other things.
