Hi,

Here is a module to control the position of each layer in Modul8.

Good job! It is very fast to rearrange the layers from one spot.
I need layer positioning very often. While this is nice to have a module to do it (and the most useful is to access your media on spec layer by clicking on the thumb in the module), the real feature I am missing all the time is ability to enter numeric XY positions. And not just drag the layer with mouse.
Anybody who ever tried to line up layers know what I am talking about. Snap helps it quit a bit though.
If you could add this somehow I would be most grateful.

Looks very interesting, I'll test it as soon as I get the chance.
Thanks.

I've been talking to Ilan about this very problem.

we need to be able to nudge X and Y positions in pixel increments.
Snap is handy of course.
I'll give him a nudge...

I am working on it. Actually something I have been wanting to do for a long time. Especially with this idea of moving a layer to the music.

Have started working on it already but...

Anome is probably a much more advanced at module authoring then I am. It should be very easy for him to pop in two text fields that send absolute values to a selected layer and a D pad for button pushing accuracies.

Will re:post when I have something.

whaou ! i didnt read all these messages but i did the "nudge" feature ...

so now you can set the position with numbers or increase it 1 by 1

holly ... whatever. It is like in fairy tale. You wish something and -BANG- here it is! Have to be very careful what you wish on these times.

I'm getting a serious bug with this module.
everything is fine until I try to open the same show again.

then everything locks up.

TypeError: can't multiply sequence to non-int

??

please be more specific: gimme an accurate scenario to reproduce it and gimme if possible the line number (or the instructions) where you get the bug...

I tried this as well.
I just save the project, open another project, open previous saved project. I get your module not responding to the layers. Module is responding itself OK/all the functions work. just does not move or connect to any layers.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGb2LYhCAUg

I get these errors
ValueError: invalid literal for float(): False
Init() line 68
Init() line 155
MessageEvent() line 105

BTW module is not responding after M8 restart as well even in new project.

I found I had to delete all the layers and then I could start again...

vanakaru · by **vanakaru** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 2:23 am

That gets us going again. But you have nothing saved.
This time the error is Init line23 TypeError: can't multiply sequence to non-int
and PerioticalEvent line 9
