Hotlinks - Skipping Nested Modules BEFORE placing

owen · ‎2007-12-13

We really should be given the option to check Skip Nested Modules before placing a Hotlink rather than having to go back to fix this once the Hotlink has been placed and the damage done (i.e unwanted attributes, etc from nested mods).

actually a little surprised this has not been wished for before (search turned up nothing for me at least)

cheers,

I think it has been subsumed in wishes for improved Hotlink management overall. There is no reason I can see for three dialogs ("Place Module", "Choose Hotlink" & "Hotlinks") with strange orders of access, etc. It seems that they could all be replaced by one "Hotlink Manager". It would also be nice to have relative paths so the links aren't broken if the project folder is moved or renamed (and for mixed Mac/Win access).

I thought that was probably the case but i couldn't find it mentioned specifically.

I agree the system of working with Hotlinks needs some work but as with all things ArchiCAD it will probably - unfortunately - come in small bits. Introducing Multistorey Hotlinks was a big step by GS. Hopefully tiny tweaks such as this one can be done quickly .. maybe even in time for 12
