Wish list (brainstorm)

:bulb: Ux folders

Folders (must already be multi-selection of Blocs possible*( :pray:)) for classifying “layers” without having any repercution with .hml, just for managing, Expandable/Collapsabel by double click (+ classic right-click rename/delete/etc.).

Very handy for big projects + multi website in a single .file

With Hide|Lock|(non)Export(as for all layers as tackled upper :pray:) also, justy not repercuting directly on code.

As eg img (several site with same file, with the advantage to have same class etc, but when exporting, lots of activate/desactivate, as long list that could be shorted by Hiding).

Then,

  • gain use (quick view, organisation also..)
  • gain time/clicks (lock, hide, export.. drag upper/dwn..)

*As why not for Brics ? **

** And Pebbles :rofl: :grin:



Personnal little wish : “net” (alpha 1) colors as the blue one (selected layer) :heart: :orange_heart: :green_heart: :blue_heart: :purple_heart: :strawberry: :apple: :tangerine: :sparkles:

:rocket: LAYERS - Opening all childs in one click

Great idea because suipposingly very less to code and massive click saver :

How many time did you :

  • Click on a Bric
    • Click his Child
      • Click his Child
        • Click his Child
          • Click his Child
            • Click his Child
              • Click his Child
                • Got it :sweat_smile:

Or in middle of all of this..

Simply ; [CMD+Click] on a layer opens all children until the last one.

Thought : are layers no one can modify obligated to be shown ? It ads levels..

This has been added in v5.2.4 :sweat_smile:

LAYERS - Double-click

Double-click on the “layer” (blue) to open the bloc/bric, rather than having to get the little “10px” arrow


ALT + <>

Not important btw, personnaly, tremendous time I Alt+> as it is standard in all apps (text edit
) to “jump”, and nope, the shortcut is assignated to displacement.
Thought : we may are more many to use this basic shortcut than dispalcement (personnaly never), if yes this may be prior ?
Wish : to remedy to this by default or for us (if already possible, ghow please ?).


Classes : Sorting + Colors

Colors : usefull for quick view classification ~“semantically” (if possible with Maj + click selection that is already in place)

:pray: Alphabetical sorting


An indicator of some sort which shows the images/graphics being used in a project.
I sometimes work with a lot of images.

Good idea :+1:

Light theme - ico

I’m using light theme for first time, after a “flash” transition :laughing: it’s now def my fav, so lighter/minimal/even somehow more modern (maybe because of less borders contrast), lov it :star_struck:, btw..

Just a tinny wish please, because many times I can’t make the difference and have stupidly to click and click to compare to know wich one is activated or not (many unnecessary clicks in future if it stays at it is) , adding more contrast between both icones (one white ?).


On this screen (increased “ratio”) we see the diference, but impossible on my display, don’t know why..

:bulb: Colors > Colors palette

Double-click on a color opens the Color Manager (with the respective color selected ?), usefull and click saver for changing the #color

  • not having to search and launch the color Manager, ok there are shorcuts but

  • 
we directly get the concerned color (from many different situations : background, text..)

Would be usefull in any case, and very usefeull for big project with plenty of colors, as any project with very light colors difference.


Double-click on the pink selection, it opens the color manager with the pink selected, direct changing it.
Also usefull because it wouldn’t add color to selected elements (and having to delete them in right frame, it may talk to some of you..).

( :pray: Already tackled : moving colors)

I’ve tweaked this for tomorrows beta.

Modal - Auto-trigged

I suppose it isn’t possible (?) then as feat suggestion : modal ato-launched.
In my case I need an input message :

  • more visible with more impact (for being unavoidable)
  • that doen’t change at all the “structure”, btw in Z+
  • more customisable (with parameters already at disposal)

..than the Alert message.

Then it’d be cool to have a modal auto-trigged when page loaded without the need of a button and having to click.

< troll >
It’d also add in creativity ways in design (personnaly would luv to experiment ~“2.5D”, 3d spline in modal that has no background with behind body page with video or css animation background or even with other 3d spline etc.
In some years you’ll have 3d mascotts auto-trigged with IA talking to you : "Hi I’m Pingouin, may I help you (IA dialog if yes..) ? Behind me all informations about my family.. (as eg tyo illustrate, close modal)
< /troll >


Suggestion

Even better :

:bulb: And CMD + MAJ + Click (or anyhting else) to close the “layer” with all its children.

Personnaly : even all childrens closed. Or why not, if not (some users can indeed prefer keeping childrens layers open/close as it is ready to be re-“opened”), a “kill” to open/close all parents/children (as adding Ctrl
?).
Hope it is undersstandable :grin: :melting_face:

:bulb: MENU - Mouse Hover & Mouse click

As “beginner” for menu+submenu, it wasn’t spontaneous to find how-to get menu mouse hover. (then time to search, etc.)
Indeed mouse click and mouse hover are dispatched.
(And between parents/childrens of Navbar + Smartnav, and to have to go to the final child :melting_face: )

Suggestion : both at same place.

Gain easy access beginners, thing to be memorised, and with this way fun the possibility to mix hover (eg. basics links) and click (eg. a mega menu) in same navbar, then more flexibility/“power”.


(also the arrow away, we surely are more many not wanting it, or only when on_click, or on demand with a check-box.. ?)


Blocs app delete remove menu arrow hover click

.dropdown-toggle::after {
	display:				none;
	}


Adding link on Hover title menu

It seems to be impossible to get a link on title when activating hover.

The content of propositions changes when changing the type, it’d be great to have a link possible once Type on “open”.
Logic, spontaneous, easy one click for beginners.. for a menu very standard and usefull.


:bulb: Left frame - Page + Layers combined

Supposing it may be few to code..
Gain for duplicating/displacing layers from page to another, as for styles (right-click copy style > paste style), etc.
Gain view of structuration if needed to compare one page to another one
Btw usefull and on-demandé.

(with the pages below the other in right VP ; clicking on a layer from another page in left frame that brings immediatly with scrolling in roght Vp to the bric.. :rocket: super fast access)

Forgot an arrow right of the page blue line for a toggle


:bulb: Shortcut - Show/Hide all pannels

It’d be cool and usefull to be able to hide with one shortcut (definable with osx pref keyboard) all pannels ; and show (+Maj ?).
When re-show, with all pannels as there where before hiding.




Ed. In fact it is the thing missing :grin:

:pray: :sparkles: IMG - MultiSelection

MAJ+Click, or mouse selection in thumbs mode, don’t know.. but yet having to delete each image one by one :cry: :hourglass_flowing_sand: :melting_face:


Ed. OK was fast (don’t know why I thought having to confirm each time..), btw this situation is frequent, it’d be a good thing (as for layer left frame , as eg for hiding multiple layers, etc.). “MAJ” is
 Magic :sparkles: :grin: :pray:

:bulb: De-select layers or/and ESC

A situation I’m probably not the only one to have : when you want to do something with images, because a layer is systematically selected, the image you are selecting is sometimes added as background image of the selected bloc or bric.

Then you have to go to the dedicated background and [ x ] it.
Even sometimes you do not remark it, and have secunds or minutes later to click and click to find and delete the added backgound image.
Bit complicated also when many things to do with images.

From what I’ve seen, impossible to deselect a Bloc/bric, always one in blue as on screenshot. (If I omit I’m taker thx)

The idea is simply to have the possibility to deselect by clicking outside or ESC, then no more this redundant problem, just ESC before going in Image managment pannel.
Would be usefull (and click saver..).




Or adding a Unselect (and shortcut assignable with osx) ?



Ed. Or clicking on blue layer to deselect it (wtf upper and didn’t thought of this :face_with_spiral_eyes: :rofl: ). Also for colors in fact.
I suppose it isn’t possible it’d be already done, btw “cutting” this “link” would be usefull (sometimes I change bg of blocs/brics when not wanted, have to go back, find the image that was before, replace etc..)

:thinking: Menu

:pray: First level menu

A pious wish because it certly would already be done : First level menu linkable.

:pray:URL + Anchor

Adding anchors when the type is Navigate to page.
Obligated to do it with “outside” url/#anchor, not usable at all when changes and updates, especially when running a project in browser in localhost (you click on a link in menu or sitemap and you are then on the online page, impossible to navigate locally with Navigate to page and Anchor use).


(“Target” would become “Page”, and adding a “Target” for anchors)

:thinking: Menu dynamic

And the initial and main purpose of this as it’d be a solution of both upper points : given that the function of structure detection that generates sitemap xml exists (no database..), wouldn’t it be posssible to have a “dynamic” menu that retrieves the H1 of each page ?
Would be awesome, you change the H1 in middle of the page and title+link is immediatly updated in menu (link same as H1 title).
Or as a paid bric ? Personnaly would immediatly buy it.

It’s another vote from me for the main menu of a dropdown to be able to link somewhere (apart from the dropdown).
Although I think I read on a previous post somewhere it’s not that easy to do as bootstrap only allows 1 link per item (and in this case it’s the dropdown) - or I may be dreaming.
