If you remove a layer and it has a background ( color or image ) ,it will not removed and you still see the background.

The current version doesn´t have the possibility to enter an interaction for a button.

I don't like so much the current palette. it should be more user friendly and fast to use . One model could be the netbeans palette .

Right now the saving process works only because every GElement depends to DomElement . There a need to use an other way , maybe Jaxb .

This is a must . The final user will choose where his assets are , When he will select an image/sound/font , he will have three option :

1. Copy the file in the asset folder or in a subfolder.
2. Use the relative path from the asset folder ( useful when he chooses something inside asset folder
3. Use absolute path ( as he own risk ) .

This approach is similar to what netbeans does for libraries.
Note : No information about assets folder will saved in nifty-gui file ,so by now the user should set it manually every time.

Hi,
on Version 0.5.9 ive got only 800x600 px resolution painted. If i change the resolution to 1024x768 i see that the Rectangle ist bigger. But the Drawcanvas where all the magic is doesnt got changed.

When I go to the website chrome brings up this:

I'm not sure if this is on purpose or not but I would like to use this software

Right now the visual movement of an element only works for an absolute layout in the parent. We could work around this by adding the element to a special popup layer with absolute layout and then drag it there , as nifty currently does for draggable elements .

Due to the nature of refresh method , refresh a gui with more than one screens causes nullpointer. This is because of nifty.getCurrentScreen() in refresh method . Should be added a way to get the screen where the element is or pass it in refresh method as argument .

Since the model has been refactored the factory needs a better way to instantiate GElement possilby using class object instead of XmlTags

Hi there,

i have some trouble with your Editor.
First thing, the Download for the "JME plugin 0.5.9 alpha" is defect for me. There is no dl, only the code in crypts :)
http://niftyeditor.it/download/5/

the other thing, if i download the "Nifty-Editor v0.6 SOC edition" i can start it, but cant use anything inside (except create, delete ... new files)
i use linux dist (fedora22) and openjdk 1.8.0_60-b27
when i start the jar file, i get this Warnings in the console ->> http://pastebin.com/fcwBTdBU

There's the same problem of issue #10 . If Jaxb will be implemented i should find a way to skip the elements that are not still implemented in Nifty-editor . see here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5949265/jaxb-filtered-parsing/5950542#5950542

Nifty-editor needs that the id of an element should be unique , right now there's no check about that even if it is implemented in id-generator . Also the name of a node in JTree should be updated if the id changes.

Looked at the source.
Code test uniqueness on element.id but, as is, 'id' in tags is not mandatory.
I think that is way text and interaction tags are not handled.
But I see that image tag in nifty-editor terminal log have id="".

 <image id="" filename="Interface/start-background.png"/>

So, if code test IDgenerator.isUnique() there can be just one tag with id="". Correct ?
If it is correct my proposal is new transient field with generated key. That key is unique. If it is needed.
Code can then test for id uniqueness but not require that 'id' is not empty or null.

Right click on element should provide a better editing popUp maybe even different for each type of element . For example it could be added some buttons for fast layout or a button to change check value in the checkbox .

See this post, A solution would be to make jtatoo optional or even disabled in two monitor environment.

The final user needs to manipulate the resolution of the displayed GUI as the JME 3 editor currently does. Also it needs a way to pan the view if the display size is higher than the size of the component .

Right now , when you move an element to an other you move it to NiftyElement no to DropContext element . This is good for almost all elements except for those which have a complex layout like for example Window and ScrollPanel . Change with DropContext should solve the issue.

A final user should be able to change the order of the layers.

when you change the order of the elements in a vertical layout or horizzontal layout , this changes are only displayed and they don't change the model . This causes a wrong order when you save the xml file.

The editor of size should be completed and work also with absolute position.
