  • Thanks for support with your comment!

    It's good to hear other people having the same problem.

    Thanks I didn't know about that keyboard shortcut.

    There's so many hidden shortcuts.

    From memory I'm pretty sure that both C2 and CC used to show keyboard shortcuts, so it's a regression that C3 doesn't show them.

  • It's convenient being able to quickly click the preview button to test your game.

    However! This button uses "Preview Layout" and 99.9% of the time this is not the preview option I want to use!

    Therefore, since I test my game frequently, it would be a wonderful improvement for my workflow (saving clicks, time, and effort) if I could change this button to be one of these other options:

    The default option for the preview button could be placed in the settings menu:

    This way I can click that drop down menu once in the Settings menu, rather than every time I want to preview my game.

    Thank you for your consideration! 💖

  • I had this bug too. I was using a different computer, and it wouldn't give me permission to save.

    But that's because the Setting was on "save as".

    So I went to the save option: "download a copy", and was able to save my work there.

  • By "project view search" do you mean how you can search your project here for objects?:

  • Thanks for all the great ideas! It's great to see that others think that improving this would help improve their workflow too.

  • Have you found that finding events in C3 is inefficient?

    For example currently it's impossible to search for an exact event like this:

    "spriteA overlap spriteB"

  • If you're able to word it in a way that sounds like a bug, perhaps you could submit them in that section instead, and the developers may take the suggestions more seriously then?

  • Thanks R0J0hound I tried turning off the 2nd one with the empty name.

  • Somehow I was automatically added to a list that notifies me about new "animate" releases, and I can't find a way to stop getting those updates.

    Please unsubscribe me from it.

    Thanks!

  • I've suggested this for years, so I'd appreciate any feedback since I'm not sure why it's ignored: the current event sheet Search feature is severely limited and sometimes useless! It could be easily improved if it wasn't searching for an "exact string match" but "contains all words".

    If the search was improved it would make it far more efficient to navigate large event sheets.

    A simple scenario where the current search has failed: I want to find where I set "sprite" to invisible, so I put the words contained in that event into the field, but because the event wasn't an exact match, despite containing all the words in that event, it was unable to find anything:

    It says there are 0 results, when this is untrue, there is an event that perfectly represents what I'm searching for.
