[Xerte] Re: Creating new template question

[Julian Tenney]

There is one - but it is set for the area of the image. I can set it to cover all the screen, but I think to begin with I thought it useful to the user to be able to sort the labels around on the screen without them snapping back.

Alternatively, I can make a close button for the feedback, but other templates don't have it,

What do you think?

Right, it probably needs a catchall return.

Good point,

I can't recall anyone raising that before.

The problem appears to be that the pop up text displays from below the last hotspot label (based on its original position. When the labels are dragged to the middle of the screen they are repositioned and get covered over.

A better solution might be if when dropped onto the middle of the screen they simply returned to their original position.

I am not over expert on drag and drop stuff.

I may have created the Page Wizards but credit for the design of most of them goes to Julian.

Kind regards

Johnathan

Question about the dragdroplabel template.

I use the defaults for positioning the graphic.
I make 9 hotspots, the 9 labels appear in 2 rows at the top left of the screen.
Run.
I drag those labels straight down to mid screen and drop them.
I drag label 1 to hotspot 1.
hotspot 1 feedback pops up.
All my other labels are now inaccessible, covered by the feedback box.

Shouldn't there be a way to close the feedback box in this case?
