Guys, you can take your Sunday off. There’s already an awesome Bric for this in the store created by @Lucas. And it’s friendly priced too!

Oh, joy! The thrill of redundancy has returned

Hey @Norm.
Something which could have been around for some time but why is the HTML element reference dropdown only working on the project level and not the page level? 
Adding a GIF to a project makes the CPUs start crying out in silent digital agony. 
Maybe GIFs should not autoplay on the canvas and in the Asset Manager?
For the sake of maintaining consistency, we should use either ‘Div Container’ or ‘Container Div’, but not both.
Volt Preview throws in an error. Also, Username and Password-hash need to be re-added after opening for the first time in this Beta.
Storing a code snippet in the note section shows up in preview and (obviously) messes up nicely with the rest of the code. Being able to scroll inside this container would be handy.

Just to let Norm (and others) know, there’s still the problem in Asset Manager with “Find All Unused Assets” being disabled if an asset name has an apostrophe in it. I originally identified the problem with an apostrophe in the naming of a .pdf file, but also just now ran into this problem with an apostrophe in a .jpg file. Interestingly, the apostrophe did not show in the file name listed by the asset manager, but apparently was there for the original file. Once I removed/renamed the offending file, then “Find All Unused Assets” worked properly.
Original problem identified Here:
Hope this helps.
Wishing all a Happy New Year!!!

Hey, @Norm.
My Splide carousel works perfectly in preview (in-app and all browsers) but after exporting the carousel is invisible. I’ve tried to attach the libraries and use a CDN, both with the same result. I’ll PM you the file.

EDIT:
The problem resides in the minification of the HTML, which triggers an error. Deselecting this option resolves the issue. @Norm? 
No, never . It’s a bug within minifying the HTML. It could be a feature as well though. 
Hi Norm:
In the notes this release states: “Fixed issue that caused duplicate custom Bric template resources.”
However, I am still seeing duplicates.

Hey @Norm,
Why is there an inconsistency in being able to add mathematical symbols in the class manager? I can add the greater than “>” symbol but can’t add the plus “+” symbol.

Not directly related to the latest beta but could a cancel option be added to the class manager warning pop-up?

Cancel would be the same as no wouldn’t it? Or better yet, be able to turn it off as an option in the Blocs settings. And save the additional step.
No, when you make a typo or use a wrong class name by mistake you’re forced to add it and go back to the class manager to delete it. My two left brain cells 
believe it’s not logical not to have a cancel button

This latest beta and the last general release feel like an improvement in terms of general reliability with fewer bugs, however I started work yesterday on a new 10 page website that currently has almost zero content, yet I frequently see spinning ball for a few seconds, even with really basic operations like trying to add a structure bloc. Also just scrolling the page on the canvas often results in a delay of a couple seconds before it moves, so everything feels very laboured.
The spinning ball only last around 3-5 seconds, but I’m left wondering why I’m seeing such a performance hit. This is on an intel 2018 mini with 32 gigs of ram running Sonoma 14.2.1. I did add a new 4k display at the end of November and the old 2k display is still connected, though rarely in use. I don’t know if that that is causing a hit here, but the problem seems limited to Blocs and other apps are fine.
On a different matter, the project settings for text are flexible, but could be greatly enhanced in terms of workflow with a few basic tweaks. At present it defaults to px with no entries, but if I set the text size as rem and the line height as em for example, I then need to manually repeat that step across every single breakpoint and header type etc. Surely these could be inherited, or better still, set as general preferences.
Also following the same logic, let’s say I set H1 as 3 rem with 1.1em line height. Once again I have to go across every breakpoint manually to fill in those numeric values, when ideally they should be inherited by default, then only changed manually if needed. I’ve also noticed that if I set rem and em, but fail to insert values they automatically revert back to px if I change breakpoint.
Perhaps others have some thoughts on this. My simple perspective is that setting the font parameters, including colours is altogether too fussy and as a result, not just time consuming, but also more prone to accidental error.

I was under the impression that I was the sole individual grappling with this Beta version until this moment.
I’ve observed this issue on both M1 and Intel. Initially, I assumed it was a local problem, but it appears not to be the case.
