Group Item in Toolpath List Fails to Respond to Click

Post by CNCDaveToo »

Group items in the toolpath list fail to respond when a user clicks on them.

Steps to Reproduce:

Code: Select all

		a. Add a group to a toolpath list and give it a name like "Side A Pockets"
		b. Click on the item
			Nothing happens
		c. Click again
			Nothing happens
		d. Write a bug report
When a user clicks on an item in a list, she or he should get some feedback that the action has been recognized. It is frustrating to have to "just know" that a right-click is required on a group name. This is especially frustrating given that toolpath items react as expected (the name is selected ((highlighted))).

You might consider selecting (highlighting) the group item in the tree when a user clicks on it. Since the behavior is different from toolpath entries in the list, you might consider an alternate highlighting (underscore? alternate color?) to avoid confusion -- in any case, some form of response to the user would be most helpful.
Be kind.

It's probably best to send your feature requests/bug reports to support@vectric.com

This is primarily a user to user support forum and not all posts are noticed by Vectric staff.

What is you want to do by clicking on the group name?

Ugh -- re: sending feature/bug requests to support@vectric.com -- Roger, Wilco (sorry about the spamming) ((and sorry for the next post that'll show up))


What do I want when I click on a group? Just basic acknowledgement as a user that I clicked on it. (This also leads to future functionality like allowing the use of arrows to move groups within the tree hierarchy.)
