I know this has been discussed before, but I just spent about 90 minutes trying to get things to look the way they are intended to look.
Things that need to change:
- It should be possible to select multiple objects and move them (with the mouse) without having them all collapse to the same location.
- It should be possible to lock a choice. For example, if you have Width set and then move the object, it shouldn’t make a Right constraint.
- If you add a Top constraint relative to some other object, it shouldn’t default to the Left edge of that object. Top or bottom would be more sensible.
- There should be a preview. What one sees in the IDE does not match what shows up on the simulator or device sometimes.
- When placing objects in a container, it would be useful (at times) to set the size of the container where you’re doing the layout.
Given all that, there are times where it is useful/necessary to move things around in code. It should be possible to set x,y,w,h directly.
Sorry for the complaint.
