code editor layout

[y offs et]

Messing around with rev 153 of the source code, I re-arranged the components of the code editor. My reason for doing this is because more than once I have gone to click/drag the bottom slider and hit the OK (no problem) or the help (problem) button.

This layout works better I think, however making it work right has a problem. If the log window is widened, it covers the buttons. I figure the master knows how to prevent that.

Another problem I have encountered is that, if for some reason, you shrink the code editor width to 0, you can't get it back without restarting the editor. I think this can be solved by setting a minimum width for the window, but again, the master knows.

You like?

Villek, you really have to do something about setting minimum sizes for the various components of the editor. Just now I accidentally set the preview to the right edge,and it locked out the log window. Restarting the editor didn't work, so I had to delete the .ini file.

Edit - now that's an idea

The editor could use some work yes .. I personally have a whole directory of ZGameEditor.ini files with all kinds of preview resolutions ( 1280x720 / 640x360 / 480x272 etc ) which I deploy depending on what I'm working on. Not terribly convenient .. but it beats setting up your layout every time by hand.

I've now tried to set minimum width to 100 for the panels but there still seems to be problems sometimes so it could be a bug in Delphi that cause this.
