Toolkit and text alignment

2SC · Apr 5, 2011

In Toolkit I like to give large descriptions to Group names like ?BAS12D fl_outlet right living?. However, when Ι add a Group Address in a unit, the text is aligned on the right and it is hard to overview the unit since the vital part of Group name (BAS12D) is not visible unless I save and reopen the unit.

I was wondering if it is possible to keep always the right alignment in Group address name window or even better if it is possible to add a maximize button on the ?edit unit? window, which will make group address name window larger (especially in input units the Group name window is too narrow).

Some people prefer aligning to the right and some to the left. Changing this will annoy just as many people as it will please. So we won't change it.
(eg if you have groups "Kids bedroom 1" and "Kids bedroom 2" both may be shrunk to "Kids bedroom", which is totally useless)

A pop up box with the full name is a good idea.
I will place it in our bug tracking / feature request software.

Cheers

It is minor issue, but what I am saying is that Toolkit use right alignment when you are editing a unit and left alignment when you open a saved unit.
In pictures attached, in keys 5 and 6 I want to use Groups ISO7D and ISO8D which are both Spots in the dining room.
When I am editing the unit I cant be sure that I made the right selections (the alignment is on the right), until I save and reopen the saved unit (the alignment is on the left now).

All I am saying is "Please use the same alignment when you edit and when you open a saved unit" (left alignment for people that are writing from the left to the right is preferred).
