beta - windows do not move off screen. #2408

Closed IgorKaisa594 closed 2 years ago

IgorKaisa594 commented 2 years ago

bug or feature?

Parama91 commented 2 years ago

Feature, because we had many user who were searching for their boxes 😂

Cady36 commented 2 years ago

lol, I'd make it an option not a fixed feature. Sometimes it's nice to be able to temporarily move stuff out of the way, especially with the big windows.

Parama91 commented 2 years ago

Well.. if we make an option for every little change we make, you have 99% of the extension settings and only 1% function. We are currently refactoring the settings itself and move box related settings to the boxes itself which makes it easier to expand the box settings. After that we are more flexible on which and what we represent as settings.

Cady36 commented 2 years ago

Oh, I do get it, and I'll live with it. It makes it less efficient for me, because of the need to open and close boxes all the time. Especially with the bigger boxes, you need to move them partly out of the way sometimes for just a sec. (Think FOE Market + Market Filter, as an example.) It feels like (for me only/my playstyle) that because some people aren't paying attention to the tools already provided to reset their box positions when they lose something, I'm losing functionality.

Parama91 commented 2 years ago

Maybe we can change it so if you hold the mouse you can move it out of the window, but on release it pops back in where you can see it

Cady36 commented 2 years ago

That sounds a bit programmatically complex for an issue this small, I think, and wouldn't completely solve the problem. e.g. for that Market example, I move it aside (slightly off the screen on the edge) to access the market screen, then move it back.

I'll get used to it as is. :)

I did just figure out if I change the font-size on that table, I can fit everything on screen at once after sizing the table down, and it doesn't need to be moved, then. I could probably handle similar issues the same way. May drag out StyleBot. lol.

Parama91 commented 2 years ago

Hm true, if you release the box it pops back in and it hides the market again

Beelzebob6666 commented 2 years ago

you know that most (if not all) of the bigger windows have a minimize button? Using that usually is way more handy than moving the window arround

Cady36 commented 2 years ago

In the Market example, I'm looking at the filter and then going to places in the market, getting info from the filter, opening something in the market. Does that make more sense? I'm reading the data on the Helper page on the right and using that information to work in the Market.

Be that as it may, I can adjust the font-size of that window so that the Filter box fits between the Market popup and the edge of the screen, and all of the text is readable. So that ought to work for me.

Beelzebob6666 commented 2 years ago

boxes are now allowed to move out the window to a certain degree

SkateScout commented 2 years ago

@Beelzebob6666 can you give an link where i can find any information how boxes can be moved out of the window ?

Beelzebob6666 commented 2 years ago

sorry for the misconception - boxes will not move out of of the window - they will just be allowed to be partially "off-screen"

and although it likely is possible to have boxes in separate windows, that is something that probably would require some major time investment to implement
