Hi Sierra Chart Engineering, Noticed a new properties dialog for horizontal line in v2608. Overall, I think the new dialog has some advantages and disadvantages over the old dialog, and once refined a bit more will become intuitive. I did notice some issues. Put two Horizontal Lines on a chart. Select one, notice the selection dots appear, click on chart, selection dots go away. (normal) Select one, notice the selection dots appear, right-click, properties dialog, cancel, selection dots and you cannot cancel selection by clicking off or selecting something else. You have to click the line, it moves (ugh), and then click to deselect. (very non-intuitive and the lines has high potential of moving, so now you have to move it again most likely) With the two lines, select one, right click, properties, right click the second one, properties, window flashes, cancel dialog. Both lines have selection dots. So seems to be some issues with the modality of the properties window and what drawing is active or tracking if active drawing already exists and not allowing select of second item. It was unclear when I first tried whether I would get 2 property dialogs like you can with chart settings and have many open for example. There might be more scenarios like this, but with some adhoc clicking around on the 2 lines, should be easy to flush out issues or confirm desired behavior. The feedback of the * for which Quick Config is selected is nice, but the user experience from the previous design where the TC# selection and the options were on same page and now on 2 different pages seems clunky and requires more clicks. Not the most optimal experience. This would be a new feature, but should the right click properties menu expose a Config sub-menu (like Color/etc)? Might be too long since there are 24 configs...maybe not. Lastly, in order to keep up with changes, or what is changing, would always be nice to have release notes around such things to be aware of changes coming in pre-release and official. |

Hi Sierra Chart Engineering, v2610 and these changes look great, and appears you have addressed all the issues reported above. Can even move and change a second horizontal line while dialog open for first horizontal line. With dialog open for line 1, right click and properties for line 2 does nothing as it should (nor does it give indication that it's open for another line or flash/etc, but this is prob just fine). One thing I noticed is that if you open properties dialog and Cancel, the line stays selected (has selection dots). It seems natural that these should go away, just like making a change and hitting Ok. Minor suggestion, put the new Configuration context menu with top items like Color/Line Width/etc since that is that is the group that makes most sense (at least to me). That menu works great, and shows default and customized names as well when set. Nice addition! Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-03-06 17:12:38

Thank you. We are looking these over. You can open a Properties window for another drawing when one Properties window is already open by first doing a left click on the drawing to select it, then right clicking and selecting Chart Drawing Properties.
