Feature suggestion

Hi there,

I've been learning how to use construct for some time now and everytime, there are 3 fonctions that I'd love to have :

• I'm creating my layout on photoshop and build it very carefully using layers. I'd love to be able to import a .psd file and that my layers are automatically in place.
• What about way to group objects in folder so I can move them, rotate together as one
• What about making the top/bottom position fonction more precise by using move up/move down

thanks btw for your amazing job so far !

"What about way to group objects in folder so I can move them, rotate together as one"

This is what Families or the Pick All function are for.

However, I would really love to be able to have families of families, or families that have different objects in them (like sprite + particles + texts), only to change the base values of each of the objects (set visible, set opacity, set position etc).

I am not sure if this is what he's talking about, but I wouldn't mind having the ability to group a selection of objects (sprites, mostly) and assign a "group" to them. For instance a tree with a trunk, canopy, and apples could be 3 seperate sprite objects, with different properties/behaviors. trunk is a plain sprite, canopy is a solid to platform on, and apples can fall to the ground. To do this now you would have to select each object (either with a marquee selection or by clicking each). If it were possible to make a "group" of objects, such as in illustrator or flash, you can more easily select and duplicate/reposition a series of objects. Families to me are more for event sheet work, where as group would be a for the layout view and would make multiple objects selectable by one click.

Greg, you got me. This os what Imeant (and I did write it in pretty awful english).

By the way, another feature I'd really love to have to is the Multiply effect..

We're hoping to add all these features eventually, we have a lot on our todo list though!
