Changing the Grid Size in the Interface Designer?

[ustk]

@d-healey Yeah but that's not the issue I'm describing. I don't intend to move the component, just click to select. If the component in question isn't already snapped, it snaps as soon as you click on it. In fact, it especially happens when you click twice on it (not meaning double-click).

@ustk Doesn't happen here

I…don't understand what's happened to this conversation. Are we still talking about grids?

[ulrik]

@clevername27 sorry, I'll delete my answer, you're right it's not about changing grid size

[clevername27]

@ulrik Ha, I was just kidding…please continue!

[ustk]

@d-healey This demonstrates clicking a non-aligned component snaps it automatically if it's already selected

@clevername27 I know it's not grid size related but since it's a grid issue, it might be part of a grid modification commit if you don't mind

@d-healey what is the converter you use for GIF? the online tools I founds give huge files with poor quality... that been said, the original is a .MOV, this might have an impact...

[d.healey]

@ustk I might be wrong but it looks like when you click the mouse also moves. Are you using a trackpad? What OS?

I use Peek (https://github.com/phw/peek)

I recommend LICEcap if you're on Windows or MacOS

I assure you, I'm not yet afflicted by Parkinson's disease

Didn't know that one :thumbs_up:

Arff... I'm confused, I forgot I already have this one... So no Parkinson, but might be dementia after all...

It's a Mac thing.

Notice on Mac the arrow changes to the grab hand and moves up when you click.

This doesn't happen on Windows or Debian (Cinnamon)

@Christoph-Hart If workable, could you please point us to the relevant code for the grid size? Thank you.

@clevername27 It is very important for me too.

[Christoph Hart]

I've added a preprocessor macro to define the grid size:

HISE/hi_tools/Macros.h at 0f52ede2191ae749d38454aa047ba1e88cf1c10e · christophhart/HISE

The open source framework for sample based instruments - HISE/hi_tools/Macros.h at 0f52ede2191ae749d38454aa047ba1e88cf1c10e · christophhart/HISE

GitHub (github.com)

I don't think this is important enough for making it a dynamic setting though.

I also fixed that annoying snap thingie on macOS, I never realized that it bothers me too :)

@Christoph-Hart Preprocessor is perfect. Thank you.
