Working with the RLMP, and I found some things that are nagging me. Maybe I just haven't found it out yet, but here goes:
1. Change the properties of a series of items of the same kind as a batch process (I was having 8 buttons and would have liked to change margin/padding on all at once).
2. Image sizes; make a 'custom' one for images that don't fit into the given sizes.
3. Colour picker: It's a hassle having to move the wee slider down to the colour I want, every time. Could it be made clickable, so if you want red, you click on red instead of moving the sliders?
4. Colour picker again: Create an option for it to remember the last chosen colour, so that next time you need it, it will already be selected. Or some way to save custom colours, like you have in most Win colour pickers.


Oh Inger I was going to bring the colour picker thing up at some point, couldn't agree more. I have to use third party picker which is *a different one than CC,s Website Color Schemer* but yeah that is highly irritating :( All good graphics packages come with a colour picker, I know RLM isn't graphics, but it should be easy enough to implement in the I'm sure very soon to be released update version :cool:

yeah choosing Color annoying me as well I would prefer Color picker, where I can pick color out of program itself as well.

Another things I would like to see is commenting feature beside " Class or ID " selector.

<!-- Commenting... here -->

/* Commenting... */

So later in editor it's easy for us to know with which part / section or elements we are dealing.

Thanks, Mansour, I was not aware of that. So the secret is just select one and then copy it, and all the changes will then affect them all?
Ha en riktig god dag!

I would like the Properties tab to stay at the same position it was in at the last element. When clicking through a bunch of elements to check the margin or padding I have to scroll down to see the settings.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Not sure what you mean by these two Inger.

#1 you can do with class, ID or Type. If each button has a different class then you would have to change the margin/padding etc on all of them in code the same as you do in CSS.

#2 You can change the max-width of images, which is really what controls the size of an image. That is custom. ?

One thing that is kinda a pain is when you think you have the page just perfect and you get all the content added to the frame work, but then you decide that you want to change your breakpoints, hide some elements, add some elements. As far as I can tell and from the testing I have done so far this is not possible. I have had success changing the styles without over-writing content!

I know I am asking for the world on a platter! I may need to accept the fact that any way you look at it Responsive design takes time, a lot of time :D

I have a feeling that doing something like this will be a lot easier when the Responsive Site Designer comes out.

Anyways that's my 2 cents.


That is not what RLM is made for. :P If you add in all your content and then want to make a change to the layout you will lose those changes. That is why you should insure that your layout is finished and then export. We are adding a few things in the next release that will help A LOT with this... So stay tuned.

But what you are really looking for Steve is RSD. Time my friend, time...

Eric, you do know each section is collapsable right? :P Just collapse Element and Selector, I rarely have those open unless I am adding a class or making a change.

I would like a list of elements that are off screen. I pushed an image off screen and finally figured out to go back to the previous break point and select the image then slide to the break point that makes it slide off screen. I was then able to adjust spans and margins to make it slide back into view because it was now active. Maybe I could make the element active through the list.:)
