<DIV>Can you make it possible to edit the name of a sign that has already been generated and saved? Sometimes its the label that's the problem, not the sign itself.</DIV>

I had a blast dragging things around when testing. A few<BR>observations/comments:<BR><BR>1. Sometimes I dragged a symbol to the box and then I decided I didn't<BR>want it. I had to clear everything and start over rather than just drag<BR>it to a "trash".<BR><BR>2. The composition box and the vertical separation line on the page<BR>overlapped. I'm using a 19" monitor and Netscape 7.1.<BR><BR>3. I found myself wishing I could use keys on my keyboard to rotate symbols.<BR><BR>4. Lining up two faces to make a composite face needed a bit of skill.<BR>I wanted to use the arrow keys on the keyboard to fine-tune the alignment.<BR><BR>5. Some of the symbols didn't have a transparent background. I noticed<BR>this with the bars in the lower right of the main menu.<BR><BR>6. Sometimes the UP menu choice didn't step !
me all
the way back to the<BR>main menu.<BR><BR>7. I can drag symbols in a menu to other parts of the menu and they<BR>would stay there instead of snapping back. This is more noticeable on<BR>sub-menus with lots of blank space. This isn't a problem as the menus<BR>always reset when going back to them.<BR><BR>8. When scrolled down to the bottom of a long menu and picking a<BR>symbol, the sub-menu that follows would be off the screen and I would<BR>need to scroll up. A return to the top of the page would be useful here.<BR><BR>Bill<BR><BR><BR>Stephen Slevinski wrote:<BR><BR>>Hi List,<BR>><BR>>You can test the new SignMaker at:<BR>>http://www.oculog.net/puddle/create.php<BR>><BR>>-Stephen<BR>><BR>>-----Original Message-----<BR>>From: owner-sw-l@majordomo.valenciacc.edu<BR>>[mailto:owner-sw-l@majordomo.valenciacc.edu]On Behalf Of Stephen<BR>>Slevinski<BR>>Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2004 12:08 AM<BR>>To: sw-l@majordomo.valenciacc.edu<BR>>Su!

[sw-l] Please test new SignMaker with Drag and Drop<BR>><BR>><BR>>Hi list,<BR>><BR>>I have a new version of SignMaker ready for Sign Puddle. This version uses<BR>>drag and drop. I have tested it on Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefow.<BR>>It works fine. Not sure if it will work for mac though :( I'm still<BR>>investigating and I don't have access to a mac...<BR>><BR>>If all goes well, I will add it to SignBank in a day or two.<BR>><BR>>When you open the screen, you will see a floating Sign Box, a control<BR>table,<BR>>and a symbol palette.<BR>><BR>>You have two options with the symbol palette. You can drag symbols over to<BR>>the sign box. Or you can click on a symbol to view more symbols<BR>underneath.<BR>>The symbol palette has three levels. The top level has the categories and<BR>>groups. The next level has symbols and variations. The final level has<BR>>fills and rotations.<BR>><BR>>You can drag any symbol!
from any
level over to the sign box.<BR>><BR>>With the control table you can clear the sign box, return the symbol<BR>palette<BR>>to the top level, or add the sign to the dictionary.<BR>><BR>>After the symbols have been added to the sign box, you can use drag and<BR>drop<BR>>to finish the sign.<BR>><BR>>I still need to add SignWriter control keys like flip and rotate for<BR>symbols<BR>>in the sign box. I also need to add the ability to delete individual<BR>>symbols from the sign box.<BR>><BR>>Give it a try and let me know.<BR>><BR>>Thanks,<BR>>-Stephen<BR>>---<BR>>Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.<BR>>Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).<BR>>Version: 6.0.757 / Virus Database: 507 - Release Date: 9/9/2004<BR>><BR>><BR>>---<BR>>Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.<BR>>Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).<BR>>Version: 6.0.757 / Virus Database: 507 - Release Date:
