Suggestion: !MoveMeterGroup bang

Post by Krainz »

Since we have the !MoveMeter and !Move bangs, I personally think it would be really useful for us to have a !MoveMeterGroup bang :)

Why would you want to move a bunch of meter all to the same spot? ;-)

Yeah, it looks like you are right.

What if it added to the meters' posX and posY? I mean, like, moving a bunch of meters 30px left, or 200px up/down

That isn't what the "move" bangs are about though. I would not be in favor of having a "group" variant of the bang behave completely differently.

Some completely different set of bangs that moves things some number of pixels X and Y instead of to some defined X and Y position is probably worth thinking about, but it wouldn't be the !MoveMeter bang.

You could use something like !AddPosMeter and !AddPosGroup for the name

then you would be generally better of building meters relativ to each other and just move the "parent" meter
