Make "Show Edges" Default

There is a button to show edges of divs, tables, etc.

Actually the tooltip is wrong. On startup the edges are hidden and I have to always click this button to show them. During development I need them shown way more often than not.

How can I make the “show edges” option the default one? I could not find anything in preferences.

TIA.

Hello @Xanathon,

Actually the tooltip is wrong.

Can you let us know please why the tooltip shown is wrong? The reason why I am asking this is because when I hover over the inactive Show Edges button it shows Show Edges (Ctrl+H) as tooltip and when I hover over the active Show Edges button it shows Hide Edges (Ctrl+H) as tooltip, which sounds normal to me.

How can I make the “show edges” option the default one? I could not find anything in preferences.

There is unfortunately no such option available for the Show Edges menu item.

When Designer is freshly started, it shows “hide edges”. After clicked once the tooltip seems to be correct in any state, so that’s a minor problem, I think.

That there is not option to show edges as default is very annoying.

Does the icon also have the blue background and border, which show that it is active, at this moment?

Can you let us know please which version of PlanetPress you are using? The reason why I am asking this is because I cannot reproduce this behaviour via the PReS Connect version 2023.1 Designer application.

PlanetPress Connect 2023.1

But after a restart the inverted behavior is gone, I I would say ignore it for now, I’ll report back if it happens again.

That “show edges” cannot be made default is way more problematic.

Thank you for sharing the software version you’re using.

Can you let us know please in what kind of situation not having such option available as the option to be able to have the option Show Edges enabled by default can very annoying and is way more problematic?

I already explained that above. I need the borders while developing. and have to activate them each and every time I start the software. Good UX would be an option in preferences to allow that.

Created an improvement request to store the state of the Show Edges option with the application. Internal ref SHARED-90721

Thank you for this update.

Quick update.This will be changed in OL Connect 2023.2. The Show Edges option’s state is saved within the application, and when you open or create new templates, the application maintains the previously set state.
