EA14 : operation parameters and rename an image asset
« on: May 31, 2018, 04:49:05 pm »
Hi,

Using EA14 Build 1420, I'm working with class operations. The Features&Properties view works fine to create new operations, but the Operations Properties doesn't let me enter anything.
I double click on the Parameters cell of an operation in Features&Properties -> Operation Properties opens up. Then all the fields are greyed out/disabled.

I also found an issue in using Image Assets: pressing F2 doesn't let me rename the element.

A parameter need to be in context/selected to be able to edit those fields.
Make sure that the Features&Properties->Operation Properties window is vertically long enough then add the parameters in the bottom part of that window.

The view height was indeed too small to see the list of parameters. It's a tricky UI design issue as moving the list at the top mayh make it difficult to update the parameters details..

Thank you VKN.
I had the same issue. Couldn't we just get back the classic UI? Honestly, this new UI is a nightmare.

Thank you and all the best,

Miklos

You can. In v14.1 there is an option to bring back the old features dialog.

Visual Style | Prefer property dialogs

Thank you!  That saved my day, I guess ;-)
