New user: Feedback (bugs and feature reqs)
Posted: 07 Dec 2016, 21:35
Hi. Thank you for creating this RR software. I'm using it to create a christmas tree layout.
The auto-connect feature is fantastic and an incredible time saver. Overall, I'm very pleased with the functionality. My layout is all one level, but there are a lot of objects on the screen.
I wanted to give some initial feedback on the layer and grouping functionalities. I'm using the layers extensively as a gathering of similar objects. For example, all track is in one layer, houses in another layer, same idea each for scenery, platform, raised platform supports, electrical, cutouts, etc). In this way, I can hide particular layers while moving other items around on the screen. I group objects together for ease of moving the combined group around on the screen.
1) Grouping is lost after I reopen the saved file. E.g. I group a square and text, save, close and reopen file. Square and text are no longer grouped. This is true for ALL of my individual groupings. Is this a known problem?
2) Feature request: Allow multiple objects to be selected and moved to a new layer.
Right now, if I select multiple items, only one gets moved to the different layer.
3) Feature request: Allow an entire group to be moved to a different layer.
Right now (like feature request 2), only one of the objects in the group is moved.
4) Feature request: Allow an objects on screen to be moved to a hidden layer.
I hide a layer (of objects) so I can easily select an on-screen item that's covered by another. However, if I want to move that selected object to the hidden layer, I first have to unhide the layer.
I'll post more as I use it more.
Thank you again,
Ken
