Hi to all,
corcerning the left,top,width and height view properties, it's possible to set the %x and %y unit directly in the designer interface ?

You can use %x and %y with the new designer script feature: Designer Scripts Tutorial

V1.90 will be released next week.

Great! :icon_clap:

Is it also available in pure designer mode (setting the properties directly)?

No.

Why no ?
It's a technical problem or isn't in the plan ?

I think that "setting the properties directly" for the % is a very important help, because actually when I'm designing a new layout I think on absolute values instead of % values.

This could improve the productivity of layout design.

Actually :
1° step : design in absolute values
2° step : coding the % values

Pure designer % settings :

I do only the first step.

Please (Erel / Klaus) consider this point in the next release.

thank you!
Have a nice day!
