Hello,
In the latest Gdevelop update (5.3.199), the Instance Properties Panel has been reworked (nice change! ). But in previous versions we have buttons to change Z Order, Animations, Angle, etc.
Now we donât have those buttons anymore, but we can still use the mouse scroll to change the values (and in my opinion thatâs enough). The only thing is the panel scrolls too:
My feature request is: when the mouse is over the location of one of the properties AND this property is selected if we use mouse scroll the values change without scrolling the entire panel. If itâs not over the selected property it can scroll the panel.
Completely agree, but i say i liked the up and down arrows and they should be again here, because you can be more precisely with just one click instead of the scroll where you can scroll more or minus the number you need
Thatâs cool, but I donât use the arrows too much. Usually, in the editor, I work with a single hand on the mouse, chilling totally, so I donât touch the keyboard a lot. Another thing that annoys me is when I click on the input and try to scroll up or down, but the instance panel scrolls with the numbers, which is a little annoying. I like the horizontal drag feature; itâs cool. I noticed another cool thing about the new instance panel: we lost the checkbox for custom object sizes, which was really helpful when adjusting proportions and wanting to return to the standard size. However, itâs been replaced with a reset icon for height/width, which is cool, but I didnât notice it at first glance.
Itâs nice but a little vague. I wish GD did a better job of rolling out new features. A diagram of the changes in the release notes or a link to the documentation wouldâve been nice.
