[Feedback][E] Custom data window is aligned to the right

Post by Tap »

I first reported this issue back in March when a new preview was made available. As I recall, both Daniel and Meph also originally commented on this issue at an even earlier stage, so it has been mentioned before. Knowing my blindness, though, someone has already created a topic to mention this.

The custom data popup screen for character poses and 'check data' is still locked to the bottom-right corner of my screen. I tried it out in both Mozilla Firefox and Chrome, with no difference between the two. Is this something still to be fixed, or is it just my computer playing up on me? :?

It's meant to be attached to the bottom right side of your screen. This is not a bug. Would you rather it appeared somewhere else like the centre? :)

For the actions I understand the need of being able to scroll and look for the right ID, but for custom sprites etc that's just laziness. è_é

If this is meant to be feedback, then I'll change it to that. :)

But yeah. It would be helpful if the windows were centred on the screen and had a 5% margin from the edge of the screen. Also, maybe the actions window should have a minimum width for small screens.

It's not? Given Unas mentioned it was stuff he hadn't yet fixed, I assumed it was a bug... :?

There's no option for adding in url links/text for the check button information. To be added, probably...? :)
Yep, that's to-do stuff I forgot to mention xD
At the moment, by locking the custom data window to the bottom right side of the screen, it makes it awfully hard to navigate if you need to scroll down a list... :?

Either way, this is more feedback than a bug. :) But yeah, if Unas had planned on changing it anyway, then that's good news. (But that was six months ago, so he might have forgotten. :XD: )

Maybe.

As Meph already said several times, it's not a bug. Everything is working and clearly accessible - and to be honest, I still don't know why you're so adamant about it being "fixed".
True, this choice of aligning popup windows on the bottom right was done with the storyboard in mind (in order to keep frame contents visible) and is practically useless on other tabs, but I fail to see how it causes any trouble or harms the experience. :|


Anyway, I can change that, but for the moment I'm focusing on fixing actual bugs and building the manager. I think it's a little more important ;-)

Given that we're probably used to this display by now, is this something that we still want fixed? If so, what would we like instead? Meph suggested "centered," but there was no other feedback.

I'm fine with it where it is.
