[0.6] Stacking with keyboard shortcut bug

Just select all the 3 groups and press the stacking shortcut. It will start with a negative number, and you can't press cancel, the window stays there.

Expected result: Paddy takes the values from the first selected group, and opens the window with that. Like in paddy 1

Thanks

Update: You generally cannot quit form the shortcut windows. Neither from stacking nor padding. Cancel and ESC wont work.

After further testing i think i know where this originates from. The new behaviour in Paddy 2 is that if you click on Add stacking, it will automatically group and stack selected objects, as opposed to Paddy1 where it only worked on already grouped objects.

I understand the good side of this, so you can much quicker stack things without grouping them first, but this way you cant select and modify multiple stackings, like in Paddy1. I use that function a lot, so it would be great to have both options somehow available.

Maybe if its possible, if you select multiple already stacked objects, a new menu appears on the inspector panel, called "Edit Stackings" under "Stack layers"" Just an idea

Great find @highvoltaged. Thank you 👍

So to summarise those couple of things:

  • [x] Bug: Cancel / ESC not working on both Padding / Stacking windows (Oops 🙃)
  • [ ] Consistency issue: Selecting multiple existing Stack Groups should default to 'updating their values' in the Stacking Window prompt – rather than creating a new group
  • [ ] Enhancement: Create an option to toggle between 'creating' / 'updating' stack group, based on selection

Really appreciate you logging these 👍

This is fixed for the next release. I added a toggle for 'Create' / 'Update' in the Stack Group prompt window. However, I haven't added it in the inspector yet. I might park that one for now, and do it later, because it's a bit trickier 👍
