Some user interface annoyances.

I have been using ffDiaporama 1.5 and 1.6 for some diashows. It works okay, but I have found 2 things, I'd like to suggest to improve.

I usually build my diashows, by adding several images/blocks into one single dia and manipulate them further (e.g move them or zoom in, etc..)

1) Say you open the dia properties for one single dia. Add 2 new dias and at the last dia, add another image file,  but move that file to another position.
    If you now preview this dia, you'll see, that the last added image will appear at the center of the dia and move to that final position, rather then just simply appear at the final position. You can work around it, by re-displaying the images in all previous dias and manually set the position of that block in each single dia to the final position and then hide it again. Would you consider to have all previous hidden blocks of the added image to be positioned at the same position as on the first non-hidden block in the dia?

2) When adding several blocks, please have a checkbox, that will copy the changes you made in the current block to either none, all previous or all following dias, so you don't have to manually adjust for example the position in each single following dia. This is a real tedious part to fix manually currently.

Thanks for considering and keep up the good work!

Hi

Thank you for your remarks
I think I'll take this into account in the next version (1.8)

Re: Some user interface annoyances.

Sorry if I took a long time to work on this problem!

Regarding the repercussion of the change of block's properties from a shot to the other, there was a bug that is now fixed (in the SVN commit 12.15.2013).

The principle is that any block's properties change is reflected to the following shots unless the block lock properties is not set for a shot.

This correction will be included in the next devel
