Thank you for implementing Snap to Edge.

Hmmm,
I just changed the color and afterwards the vertical button rendering was gone. Color reset (black) didn't cure it.

Is this a bug with <g_path> or am I doing it wrong?
This script button works:
Code: Select all
::run """C:\Bla Bla\menuApp.exe"" ""<g_path>""";
This script button doesn't work:
Code: Select all
::run """C:\Bla Bla\ShortPopUp.exe"" /startdirectory ""<g_path>""";
Maybe of some interest is that this works for folders without space in their path:
Code: Select all
::run """C:\Bla Bla\ShortPopUp.exe"" /startdirectory <g_path>";

If i may, few mock-ups for mentioned "visual targetting clue" option.
It's a close call, but I decided that less (overkill) is more (air).
So visual has a chance to come later, after some feedback, or you mean you decided to skip it at all? Yet i forgot to mention that all mock-ups made with "Both Edges" meant enabled.
What is Snap to Edge? Still can't see a difference...

When enabled the Glider is snapped to the edge of the Tree and you can click on the first button as soon as is shown, no need to move the mouse like when Snap to Edge is disabled.

vertical button rendering was gone? What do you mean?

"doesn't work"... can you elaborate?

Before (just after the beta upgrade) the Glider's buttons were vertically aligned on the nodes I'd checked (because of my narrow tree, I supposed). After the color change (and subsequent reset), w/o touching the tree pane's width, the button layout is and stays horizontally.

Can you repeat that?

During work I'm on MacOS.
Next time I will see wether fresh() will help. Otherwise I wait for a new beta, it's maybe just a hickup on my side.

Could some issues be related to the fact that there's no indication that tells the user to save (i.e., the save button does not turn brown) after a Glider change, but an actual save is necessary. I mentioned that yesterday here

It will turn brown.
But "actual save is necessary"? This is true for all settings in XY. There is nothing special about the glider here.

Is it not immediate in some cases because my save button does not turn brown for Glider changes like position or button size? Unless I explicitly save the changes are lost as they should. In Config, both Save changes on exit and save changes to disk immediately are not checked.

By "it will" I meant the future.

Oops sorry.
Don, would there be some value for those who would like bigger or smaller hot zones to break the tie-in for small, large, extra-large zone sizes from the button sizes? This way someone who wants a small button could have a large or extra hot zone and vice versa.
