Groups appearing in the LC 8 menu "Place group"

Post by trevix » Mon Sep 19, 2016 4:28 pm

Am I wrong or groups with NO sharedBehavior should not appear in the IDE menu of "objets/place group", being in a different card?
Is this a Bug?

Hi Trevix
I think you mean backgroundbehavior.
I have understood that one group of all types appears in the "place group" menu if there is not already on the current cd.
Best regards

No. I meant SharedBehavior. But not so sure since the two things are ambiguous.
Anyway, a top group with SharedBehaviour unchecked and BackgroundBehavior unchecked should not appear in the "Place group" menu. Right?
Since it does in my stack, that's why i thing of a LC bug.

This is normal behavior. All groups are listed in the menu, since you might want to place them later onto another card. If you do that, the backgroundBehavior property is automatically changed to true.

I understand. I guess all "Top" groups?
Given that in my stack I have about 30 of them, I don't see it helpful to have them all listed: if I decide to share a group I can just use the property inspector. But this is my opinion.
