The biggest two changes for this update are:
1. Drag and Drop support. This is a major advance. You can drag and drop to set the layers of controls or cards, move controls into or out of groups, copy controls, groups, or cards from one stack to another, and to place a group (background) on one or more cards.
NOTE: removing controls from a group and putting them back in might cause you to lose non-shared properties like the hilite and field contents. Use at your own risk.
2. Support for MetaCard. Change the file extension and open Navigator in MetaCard. It should take care of inserting the scripts it needs to function properly. This feature is still experimental, but seems to work pretty well.
Also added is a stack list view, a custom property menu, select stacks by pointing at them, rename bookmarks, and more.
For anyone who's not familiar with it, here's the note on Navigator when it first came out:
------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----
Navigator is a plugin I developed to make it easier to work with controls, properties, and scripts in Revolution. There's too much to list in an email, but briefly:
-- Navigator displays lists of Revolution objects: stacks, cards, groups, and controls.
-- The list can show the controls on the current card of the topStack, or of any card or group of any stack.
-- You can bookmark references to any controls, and color-code the references. You can mix and match bookmarks any way you like.
-- Navigator allows you to edit scripts, set properties or run code against any list of objects. For example, you could select controls from several different stacks and set the visible of all the controls to false with one command.
-- Navigator makes it easy to work with controls that aren't normally accessible: controls in groups, hidden controls, controls on hidden stacks, controls that are in different places, controls that are in palettes or non-modal stacks.
-- Navigator allows you to do things you wouldn't ordinarily be able to do: align controls that are on different cards, for example.
-- Navigator makes you a faster developer: edit the scripts of controls on different cards quickly and easily; change any property with a single menu selection rather than using a palette; go to the handler you want to edit in a long script with a single command.
Finally, I should mention that Navigator is, as far as I know, the only Revolution plugin that supports plugins of its own ;-) Text files with executable Transcript can be used within the Navigator plugin.
This is a beta release. Navigator should work on all platforms, with Revolution 1.1.1 and 2.0. If you have any problems, let me know.
