[Xerte] Editing tips?

[Julian Tenney]

If you SHIFT-F5 or CTRL-SHIFT-F5 the currently selected icon in the tree
is set up for visual editing - i.e. you can position / resize it with
the mouse. In this mode, you can then select all other icons and move
them with the mouse as well.

 

That mode only kicks in once the selected icon is reached on the stage -
because if it was behind a button, you'd never be able to get to it
otherwise, as clicking the button would select it for editing, rather
than fire it's response.

Hi all,

Has anyone gigged up a cheat sheet or is there a resource for editing
practices?

I'm probably doing something backwards, or since some things don't seem
to work as they say on the can it may be something in my setup.
e.g. doubleclicking a draw icon on the tree does not open the draw
editor.
If I highlight an icon below an interaction in the tree and hit
Shift/Cntrl/F5 it loads and comes to rest at an icon above that
interaction.
How does sequence/layering work? I am having difficulty reaching icons
that appear to be "under" another icon on the display.

Cheers,

Dave
