MultiResourceEditor has been very robust for me. I've used it regularly
for the past few months. It's not perfect--for instance, I wish the Vary
checkbox
defaulted to "off" and was renamed to something more obvious
"Auto-Naming".
But's that just my preference, not a bug. There are probably bugs I
haven't
noticed, of course, since I only use 14 out of the 25 widgets available.
I haven't used the old Resource Editor in a long time. MultiResourceEditor
is
just too useful for me to consider going back. It's great to be
able to see all the properties for a widget displayed simultaneously,
and for that matter it's also frequently useful to be able to select
multiple widgets simultaneously.
The old Resource Editor also had a number of frustrating glitches in
relation
to moving and resizing objects. Alex fixed those issues for
MultiResourceEditor.
Overall, I think the MultiResourceEditor puts a better face on PythonCard
and is less likely to scare off newbies.
