  It sounds like we already have keyboard shortcuts that cover most of that:

  Oh! and when selecting objects on different z depths it would be nice if the actual object on a lower z depth I've got my mouse over is picked instead of another object that is above it

  That's: Hold Tab and click a selected object to select the next object underneath in the Z order

  Oh and yes, when moving objects it would be nice if we could use the arrow keys to move objects in the layoutview instead of relying on just the mouse all the time would be great for accurate alignments.

  And that's already supported - did you try it?

  What specifically would you want changed?

  No, NW.js does not mean WebGL 2 is always supported. The support is the same as in the browser.

  Why do you want to change the sampling mode, anyway? Normally a game's artwork style is suited to one or the other, and it seems unusual to offer both. Either it will look too blurry or too pixellated in one of the modes. There is no performance impact either way.

  We've been having an outage on our download server which affects NW.js. Everything else should be working OK. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  It's technically difficult to support because only WebGL 2+ supports changing the sampling mode, and it's not yet widely supported enough to trust that it will work everywhere.

  It's a bug. You'd need to file a report following all the guidelines for us to be able to investigate.

  With Binary Data, there is rarely any need for base64 any more, which is good because base64 is inefficient.

  You can use the NW.js object's 'Read binary file' action to read an image file in to a Binary Data object, and then use the Binary Data object's 'GetURL' expression to load it in to a Sprite.

  — - about 4-5 of your last 20 posts are promoting your own services. The forums generally work on a voluntary basis. While it is reasonable to occasionally highlight services, regularly promoting your own paid services, especially when there was no indication in the thread that anyone was willing to pay for help, may fall afoul of the Forum & Community guidelines:

  promoting off-topic deals/offers

  I would suggest only making such suggestions when the user has indicated they are willing to pay for help, such as mentioned in this thread, but note there was no such mention in this thread, so the assumption is they are asking for free help.

  It works fine for me. If you press F12 you should be able to see any error messages in the console.

  TheRealDannyyy - the server hosting the files is having a brief outage, hopefully it will be back live soon.

  Unprofessional - have you tried using Chrome's 'Install' feature? Construct should offer this itself in the main menu, as the 'Install as app' button. That lets you create a desktop shortcut, open without any browser UI, etc. so it looks and works just like a native app. (And it works offline, as the browser version does.)

  I think the server the NW.js files are hosted on is having a brief outage. Sorry - hopefully it will be back soon.
