Interface Editor component list not in sync with property editor?

daslicht

Hello,
I am following the Hise Tutorial and have question regarding the Interface editor.

When I add an Image and rename it in the property editor its component is not renanamed:

alt text

When creating that Image there is no popup asking for a name as shown in the tutorial, nor is code added to the code editor.

Is there another way to rename components (besides coding manually) ?

Besides that some parts of the tutorial are no longer valid no ? eg there is no longer a toolbar in the InstrumentGUI like pianokeys etc..

Parameter Connection Wizard isn't there anymore either ?

@daslicht top right in your image -- ID (?) Image1

Change this to whatever you want.

the text (which I see you have changed to "bgImage") doesnt change the id of the component.

Oh and dont forget to hit <enter> after you've changed the name - clicking off the text entry ignores your change..

Another method is to select the component in the widget list and hit F2, you'll get a popup to enter the new ID.

@Lindon Thank you, for what ever reason I interpreted that files (id) as search input.

Is it normal that no code is generated if you add an component in the visual editor?

@daslicht The code (JSON) is still generated, it's just hidden. If you select a control in the widget list and press J you will see it.

@d-healey thank you.

So items created with the UI editor are created as XML in (if project is named test):

XmlPresetBackups/testUIData/testDesktop.xml

?
