Drag drop enhancement and OTD tree status
Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2020 8:16 pm
Hello,
The drag and drop feature is a wonderful addition and I find myself using it very often, so thank you very much!
I do feel, however, that there's room for improvement. It would seem the destination indicator could be more functional if it were to highlight its target in between lookups and not over an existing lookup. I say this because, currently, dragging a lookup to a new location hits the target correctly only about 80 percent of the time with the present routine (sometimes it places it over the target, sometimes under.)
Below is an example of how another application visually assures where the target will be. Just something to consider...
And now a couple of issues regarding the OTD tree that could use some attention:
1- If I've got the OTD tree setup so that only the feature I'm working on is open, editing something in the class manager and then closing that dialog will undo the OTD tree entirely (opening it up fully). This is very frustrating...I'd much prefer to have the tree remain as I had it set. Please consider changing this behavior.
2- When repositioning a lookup using the up/down arrows, it scrolls out of view if you're moving it beyond the window. It would be helpful to scroll the tree at some point and have the lookup remain in view at all times.
I appreciate your thoughts.
