ASS Right Sidebar: Width Height Left Top

Post by Programfeed »

In the right sidebar of Advanced output, I love being able to 'tab' from parameter to parameter. The current order of positional parameters is Left, Top, Width, Height.

Changing the Width and Height of a slice moves its position, so you have to set Width and Height first, then mouse up to Left and Top to put the slice into place for a pixel map.

If the order was Width, Height, Left, Top, it would be super easy to go down a long mapping list and position slices: value 'tab' value 'tab' value 'tab' value 'return.'

On projects with lots of slices (most large festivals), this UI change in parameter order would speed up data entry.

Yeah, I know ;)

I generally go the other way, so I start with Height and Shift-TAB my way up the list.

I'll put in a feature request though.

Didn't even think to try that. Thanks!
