Hi Afei,

You need to select/detele the number before replacing it with another one (double click the number, for example).

I recommend you report this as a bug, seriously. this is not a normal case.
I think your company make a high-end software, not a low-end,
as a conscience advice from a old programmer.

Hi afei,

The Diameter is limited within the range 50 - 400. It doesnā€™t allow the user to input a value out of this range. When the current value is 100 or 150, typing one more digit will make the value greater than 400 so itā€™s not possible.
We know that it is not good for user experience but itā€™s the behavior of the UI control in the framework used to develop Saola Animate.
It should limit the value only when the user completes typing (e.g. pressing Enter, focusing on another controlā€¦). Weā€™ll try to improve it this way.

ToanLS,

Thank you for your high level reply :+1:t3:,
thatā€™s what I want to know.

From the programmerā€™s standpoint,
restrictions before input are the simplest and most effective.
with my idea, I could replace ā€œ5|0ā€ with ā€œ|0ā€ to avoid over range,
where ā€œ|ā€ stand for userā€™s input (if it is possible to over my range).

About the userā€™s experience, Yes,
because the text box control is a beginnerā€™s level practice,
so I am surprise to see this on a ā€œleading softwareā€.

Also, Iā€™ve post two more article about UI design

  1. Apply deep background color for selected pane.
    (I mean the selected iconā€™s background color not the pane)
  2. Place new Text element on a ā€œimmediately visible areaā€.

They all mean the same thing, ā€œlet user know where they areā€.

Hi afei,

Thank you for reporting bugs and providing suggestions for Saola Animate.

I canā€™t make promises on how and when they should be fixed/improved but please rest assured that we note and consider any user feedback.
