From my point of view, this is a great update - a bigger change than from 3.99 to 4.00.
Obviously there are a few outstanding issues, but generally, this is going to make a huge difference to working with Wappler, with many of the UI frustration issues resolved.
Currently, dialog sizes are not ‘remembered’ - they’re forgotten immediately a dialog is closed. Hopefully this will be added, otherwise constant dragging/moving/resizing will be needed.
The section in the lower part of some panels - eg in Flow Editor and Action Editor - can now be resized (height and width), which is great. However, in other cases - eg in the Design/Code sections - the height can’t be changed. However, being able to change the width is already a big improvement.
I appreciate that modal dialogs are not popular but I wonder if some of the non-modal dialogs should be modal. Eg if i’m editing a complicated expression in Server Data Bindings and click away from the dialog - or perhaps fail to resize the dialog carefully enough, resulting in it closing - then any changes are lost. I had to restart Wappler without the experimental options to see that this was how it was before too. However, I think it’s more of an issue now that you can interact with the dialogs as you couldn’t before, perhaps expecting them to remain in position if you click away from them, and not expecting changes to be lost. In such cases, I don’t think there’s any advantage in the dialog not being modal.
