Hello @duncan

Chapeau! I tested the Layout Blocks again, with the files i sent you a couple of days ago.

fixed “Move to Layout Block” in multidevice projects

Works, provided all elements (except header and footer) are converted to layout blocks.

fixed element selection order when moving to layout block

Not really. The order of the layers is changed, so that, for example, a box that was behind a text is then above the text.

fixed Layout Blocks spacing issues across devices

YES

Finally, where do i find this?

added support for saving publish settings to the project file

Mr. F.

Please send test projects for things that don’t work for you to feedback@sparkleapp.com

This is actually an error!

  • added support for saving publish settings to the project file

This has been added back in Sparkle 4 (with the sensitive data password stuff). The change in 4.0.4 is the information about last published files is saved to the project file, so not publish settings but rather publish state, to reduce the possibility of files being republished when publishing from different Macs. There is nothing user facing about this.

Done. I will continue with tests.

Mr. F.
