Char map - Drag&drop does not work

[dolfiz]

Hi all,

 

I've used Spriter for few months now and I still experience what it seems an erratic bug, but I'm not sure.

 

Sometimes, when I use character map, drag&drop simply does not work. I click on my defined char map on the right panel (available) and drag it to the left panel (active); when I release the mouse button the dragged element just moves back to the right panel and both the list remain unchanged (with the "active" one empty). I must admit that this behavior is a little bit erratic, and sometimes all it works good.

 

So, the questions:

- is it possible that I'm doing something wrong?

- is there a precise position where I had to click and release in order to make the drag&drop work?

- can other reasons be behind this weird behavior (what I've selected on the main window or something like this)?

- does the position/size of the floating char map window matter?

 

By the way, right now I'm using Spriter 4.1 on MacOS Yosemite (I'm not able to test it on a different OS right now but I'll try as soon as I can).

 

Thank you for every suggestion you can give me.

Hi dolfiz,

There's a known bug with some Mac OS versions where the character maps palette wont work unless it's docked... if its docked, please try un-docking it and re-docking it.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Cheers,

Mike

Yes, it seems that that's the case.

 

Thank you.

I'm glad that was a good workaround for the bug. Of course we'll work on fixing the actual bug ASAP.

 

Cheers.
