Editor Questions

I hope that those of you who have picked up Verve over the last few days have had some time to have a play with it and are enjoying the new tool!

This week has been quite busy for me, both for Verve and my Torque 2D development work. I am continuously looking to improve Verve and its tools and I've been working on some changes in the editor (as well as a few bug fixes).

I wanted to give you chance to express your views on some of the features of the editor:

  1. Do you like the idea of a Second Platform Window, or would you prefer that it was a regular GuiWindow inside the main Canvas?
  2. Do you like the layout? Are the frames big enough? Would you like them to be adjustable?
  3. How is easy is it to find your way around? What improvements do you think need to be made?
  4. Are there any shortcut commands that should be added?
I am definitely sure that I am going to have more questions for you all as time progresses. I will be making more than one usability pass on the editors to make sure that the tool makes sense and works with you, not against.
