Hi Bob, Goes to show how important user research is. For me personally, I want to get Navigator out of the way entirely when I minimize it. It's trivial to have a preference to make it minimize in place. But also: I went to some length to have it avoid minimizing behind/on top of (don't remember

Re: Layers in PBrowser

Hi Sean. I concur with Geoff. There were quite a while ago issues, but Geoff got on them and now I use Navigator all the time. The only thing I will say Geoff is that when I drag the window to a location, I would like it to remain there, even when minimized. It always reverts to a default

Hey Sean, Late to the conversation because Navigator is a hobby, but: I've worked *really* hard to make drag-and-drop relayering work properly. I've implemented it almost from scratch something like five times over the years, each time because I reached a dead end with the previous method (or

Re: Layers in PBrowser

As mentioned, you need to refresh the page view. Right-click the card content pane and choose Refresh. My other comment is probably wrong. You should be able to set the target group to the same layer as another group, and the target will assume the other group's layer, and the other group

Re: Layers in PBrowser

That's just how it works. You need to move it out of the enclosing group (try setting it to layer 1,) then move it to its new position. Brian mentioned that. Alternately, look at relayer and relayerGroupedControls in the dictionary. On 8/12/20 3:58 PM, Sean Cole (Pi) via use-livecode wrote:

Hi Tried that too. Unfortunately, if it has groups surrounding it and it itself is in a group it still effs the eff up! It either puts it into a group I didn't want it in or it chucks it out of one I do want it in. And, just because you don't use it doesn't mean no one else should!
