Here's the prefs file right now:
#Sun Feb 27 17:16:03 PST 2005
eclipse.preferences.version=1
DESIGNER_EDITOR_CANVAS_POSITION=1
<current\ platform>=<current platform>,null,null
The CANVAS_POSITION entry appears only after I set that setting in the Preferences dialog.
If you set other prefs, do they show up properly in the prefs file?
Can you send us a scren shot of
Designer ? Swing > SpringLayout pref page as well as the
Designer > License pref page?
Try adding the following line to the pref file and restarting Eclipse...
Try different values (0, 1, 2, 3). Do they have any effect when after you start up Eclipse?
Dear Eric,
Screenshots you requested in a separate email to
support@swt-designer.com titled "Re: Designer Preferences stuck at always supressing snap poi"
Here's what happened when I changed some of the other values in the SpringLayout Prefs:
#Mon Feb 28 14:37:44 PST 2005
eclipse.preferences.version=1
DESIGNER_EDITOR_CANVAS_POSITION=1
P_SPRING_LAYOUT_SNAP_SENSITIVITY=10
P_SPRING_LAYOUT_WIDGET_V_STEP=10
P_SPRING_LAYOUT_V_MARGIN=10
<current\ platform>=<current platform>,null,null
P_SPRING_LAYOUT_WIDGET_H_STEP=10
P_SPRING_LAYOUT_H_MARGIN=10
P_SPRING_LAYOUT_MODE=3
Setting P_SPRINT_LAYOUT_MODE to 0, 1, 2, or 3 doesn't make a difference when it comes to the SpringLayout grid lines setting - it still sets itself back to Always, even if I select Unless Ctrl Key is Pressed...
Then, when I change the setting to "Unless Ctrl Key is Pressed", this is the result:
#Mon Feb 28 19:44:23 PST 2005
eclipse.preferences.version=1
P_SPRING_LAYOUT_WIDGET_V_STEP=10
DESIGNER_EDITOR_CANVAS_POSITION=1
P_SPRING_LAYOUT_SNAP_SENSITIVITY=10
P_SPRING_LAYOUT_V_MARGIN=10
<current\ platform>=<current platform>,null,null
P_SPRING_LAYOUT_WIDGET_H_STEP=10
P_SPRING_LAYOUT_H_MARGIN=10
Help?
