Hi, it looks like a lot of great functionality was added in this version. But I agree with slasi (above) about the panels. I’ve been using CSS 2.7 for a couple of weeks now and it feels like I’ve clicked the tiny close button for over a 1000 times. When I watch videos of the previous version this looks much quicker with the panels and in the end more fun.
That place is now taken by the Controller Templates view, which I so far haven’t needed while setting up a script, an if so, it would be just a single click away via the sidebar.
Just as a feedback. In general I’m thankful that this software exists and so many great features become within reach for non-programmers like me.
Hi, I agree with the panel layout. I found an older version 2.6.3. Any disadvantages to use this version ? Regards, mj
Hi all, thanks for the feedback.
We’re busy working on version 2.8, there will be an improved workflow with regards to these panels.
Thanks
This shouldn’t have been an update. I’m having so much trouble making templates. When you add something it doesn’t appear. A template disappeared out of nowhere.
