Interface, authoring environment, whatever. My suggestions are directed to Bob, but I would like to know if others think they have merit. KoolMoves is a great tool, and I'm looking forward to the scheduled upgrade and new version, credit card clutched in sweaty fist.

My suggestions have to do w/ user friendliness and buttons (mostly), because I'm currently working on a button intensive project and had to keep going back and fixing stuff, so there were a lot of repetitive actions. My current KM version is 4.6.5.

1) Have Escape key close dialog box without applying changes.
2) Have Return key apply changes and close dialog box
3) Have Return key apply changes and move focus from name field to window (e.g., list of Shapes/Frames)
4) Numeric Transform Tool,
a. allow entry of decimal point in Scale fields
b. have it remain open while moving between buttons / shapes.
5) Button Actions and Sounds window, have it remain open while moving between buttons.
6) Mouse info in status bar with selection tool - in addition to relative x-y coordinates, include height and width of selection field or shape as it is ... is stretched the right word?
7) deleted – couldn’t reproduce crash reliably.
8) Shape properties - Color/Fill - Shape Fill Samples
a. the transparency value, even though reflected in the sample, doesn’t transfer to the fill dialog.
b. any way to save the samples so they are available later?
9) Initial Movie position. Is there a way to have the fun files load lined up on their top left corner? This would cut down on the amount of repositioning required.

Additional verbage as to why I want something or think it has merit:

Points 1) through 3) above, the Escape and Return key effects, are a Windows app look and feel type of thing. It’s what I’m used to and I waste time hitting the keys and then having to use the mouse.

4)b. and 5), I can imagine that there is a focus/select issue involved that may not be solvable. Regarding point 5) (the Button Actions and Sounds window and moving between buttons), would it be possible in the Actions and Sounds Overview, since you’re going to an existing action, to go directly into edit mode from the right click menu, and then return directly to the Actions and Sounds Overview to pick the next entry to edit? For example, the right click menu on a Button AS could have 1) Actions and Sounds, 2) Edit Action, 3) Delete Action, 4) Over Sound and 5) Down Sound.

Anyway, that's it (for now). Just want to know if they have merit and might be possible. Thanks.
